Setup
For typical system connections refer to
Section 8-1.
Set Mode Switch to GMAW/FCAW GAS,
REMOTE ON/OFF position.
The preset voltage is shown in the Left Dis-
play with the Volts Indicator lit.
Operation
While the Volts Indicator is lit under the Left
Display, the Adjust Control is used to set
desired preset voltage.
The preset voltage can be adjusted re-
motely at the wire feeder if the feeder
has a voltage control. This voltage con-
trol will override the Adjust Control of
preset voltage on the welding power
source. The Remote In Use indicator
will be lit.
An ArcReach remote control is not
compatible in this mode.
Pressing the Arc Control button allows ad-
justment of Arc Control settings.
Arc Control
Pressing the Arc Control button will cause
the Arc Control Indicator to light. Depen-
dent on the setting: the STIFF or SOFT indi-
cator will light and STIF or SOFT will appear
on the Left Display. 0 to 25 will appear on
the Right Display. If set to 0 neither STIF or
SOFT will appear.
Rotate Adjust Control to select desired Arc
Control setting from 0 to 25 Soft and 0 to 25
Stiff. Minimum Arc Control setting is Soft
25. Maximum Arc Control setting is Stiff 25.
Mid-range setting of 0 is good for most ap-
plications. Use lower Arc Control settings
to stiffen the arc and reduce puddle fluidity.
Use higher Arc Control settings to soften
the arc and increase puddle fluidity.
After three seconds of inactivity the Adjust
Control will revert back to adjusting preset
voltage.
