3.7 Using Optional Arc Extension
The ARC150 Arc Spray System has the facility to be used in conjunction with a specially
designed ARC Extension.
When this equipment is being used it is essential that prior to spraying, the keyswitch on the
back of the Energiser is switched to ON. This switch limits current to 300A. Turn the Energiser
on and the Extension Indicator will be illuminated to indicate the Arc Extension is being used.
3.8 Closed Loop and Open Loop Modes
The Energiser is factory set to run in Closed Loop Mode enabling the operator to set the spray
current to a pre-defined value via the potentiometer independent of wire type before starting
the job, enabling easier setup.
For example, setting the potentiometer to 2.00 will pre-set the Energiser to spray at 200 Amps.
This mode can be changed so that it will run as a speed control unit (Open Loop Mode). In this
mode the continuously variable spraying current is controlled by the motor speed control
potentiometer to the drive motor. The spray current of the system is a guide to the material
throughput and is infinitely variable up to its full nominal rating at 100% duty cycle i.e. 500A
For details on converting the Energiser from Closed Loop Mode to Open Loop Mode please
consult the relevant Energiser Maintenance Manual.
