DISPLAY FUNCTIONS

The main Weld Voltage Display shows the voltage that will be used for welding. In addition the Weld Voltage Display will 
display faults present within the unit (see section 5 for additional details).

Voltage Display
(also messge display)

Voltage Down

Voltage Up

There are 5 indicator lights.

 

Trigger (Red) 

 

This indicator lights when the trigger is pulled. This shows the trigger is functioning    

 

 

 

 

 

 

normally.

 

Contact (Amber) 

 

This indicator lights when the unit detects contact with the work. This means  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

there is a good welding path.

 

Ready (Green) 

 

This indicator lights when the unit is ready to weld. If the operator changes   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the weld voltage, this light will go out for a moment as the proper voltage is  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

reached. 

 

Thermal Overload (Red) 

Turns on when the weld unit’s internal temperature is outside the safe 

 

 

 

 

 

operating range.

 

Safety (Green) 

 

Safety circuits within the unit are operating properly when lit. 

Voltage Control 

The two rubber buttons located on the weld unit face plate controls the unit’s weld voltage. Press the right button to increase 
the weld voltage up to a maximum of 150V, press the left button to decrease the weld voltage down to a minimum of 40V. 
The power supply will take a moment to achieve desired setting. The Ready light will light green when the power source is 
ready to weld. Press and hold either button to rapidly change indicated value, quickly press buttons for fine adjustment.
