OPERATION
CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
All welder and engine controls are located on the case front panel.
Refer to Figure B.1 and the explanations that follow.
SYSTEM CONTROLS
1. DASHBOARD GAUGE -
The dash board gauge displays
5 gauges (Figure B.2):
FIGURE B.2
1A. OIL PRESSURE
- The gauge displays the engine oil pressure
when the engine is running.
1B. ENGINE TEMPERATURE -
The gauge displays the engine
coolant temperature.
1C. HOUR METER
- The hour meter displays the total time that the
engine has been running. This meter is a useful indicator for
scheduling preventive maintenance.
1D. FUEL LEVEL -
Displays the level of diesel fuel in the fuel tank.
The operator must watch the fuel level closely to prevent
running out of fuel.
1E. BATTERY VOLTAGE INDICATOR -
Displays the battery voltage
and indicates that the charging system is functioning properly
NOTE: The respective icons for oil pressure, coolant tempera-
ture, fuel level and battery voltage are white. They will turn red
when outside normal operating ranges.
2. DIGITAL OUTPUT METERS -
The digital meters allow
the preset arc output voltage (CV-WIRE mode) or preset arc
current (CC-STICK, DOWNHILL PIPE, ARC GOUGING and TIG
modes) to be set prior to welding using the OUTPUT CONTROL
dial. During welding, the meters will display the actual output
voltage (VOLTS) and current (AMPS). A memory feature holds
the display of both meters on for seven seconds after welding
is stopped. This allows the operator to read the actual current
and voltage just prior to when welding was ceased.
While the display is being held the left-most decimal point in
each display will be flashing. The accuracy of the meters is
+/- 3%.
The meters will display all dashes for preset when ArcLink
®
mode is selected.
