Setup
For typical system setup connections refer
to Section 8-3.
Set Mode Switch to FCAW-S NO GAS, or
GMAW/FCAW GAS, OUTPUT ON posi-
tion.
The Left Display toggles between ON and
preset arc voltage with the Volts indicator lit.
If associated to an ArcReach feeder
with Cable Length Compensation the
voltage display on the power source
will show ACC.
Operation
While the Volts indicator is lit under the Left
Display, the Adjust Control is used to set
desired preset voltage.
The Left Display toggling momentarily
pauses while the preset voltage is ad-
justed.
If a remote control is connected to the Re-
mote 14 Receptacle and used for voltage
adjustment, the adjustment will have full
range of preset voltage. The Remote In Use
indicator will be lit.
If an ArcReach device is used for volt-
age adjustment, it will have full range of
the preset voltage. Dependent on the
capabilities of the device, it may have
the ability to override parameter adjust-
ments and mode switch setting. The
Remote In Use indicator will be lit. An
ArcReach device will override a re-
mote control connected to the Remote
14 Receptacle.
If using an ArcReach feeder capable of
communication while welding, the volt-
age can be adjusted while welding.
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 adjustment of 0 is good for most
applications. Use lower Arc Control set-
tings 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.
