5-3. Weld Output Control
(1) Weld Mode Selector
You can select a weld mode of
"CV-WIRE" or "CC-STICK" in
accordance with the type of welding
being performed.
CV (Constant Voltage) -WIRE
You can use the equipment as a
power source for semi-automatic arc
welding (MIG, MAG and self-shielded).
CC (Constant Current) -STICK
Welding can be performed at a constant uniform current even if the arc length
changes due to a shaky hand or similar cause to provide a stable arc that is not
easily extinguished.
Welding can be performed at a specified current value without being affected by
the length or thickness (thinness) of the welding cable.
This mode is optimal for general welding as the stable arc reduces the amount
of spatter.
(2) Weld Output Pre-Set
The equipment includes a weld output pre-set function.
If the weld mode selector is set to "CV-WIRE", you can pre-set the output voltage
using the output control dial.
If the weld mode selector is set to "CC-STICK", you can pre-set the output current
using the output control dial.
(3) Arc Control (for CC-STICK mode)
The equipment includes an arc control function that
adjusts the arc strength.
You can adjust the setting of the arc control dial of the
short-circuit current of the weld output.
<Note>
•
The arc control function is only for "CC-STICK" mode. It does not function if using
"CV-WIRE".
•
Always turn the arc control dial to "0"(zero) when the scratch start TIG welding is
functioned otherwise a welding current becomes unstable as the arc control is
functioned.
5-4. Remote Control (Option)
You can connect the remote controller to the
remote control connector to enable remote
operation of weld current adjustment.
1) Remove the remote control cover from the
operation panel. (6-M4 screws)
2) Connect the plug of the extension cord
(cord reel) into one of the dedicated remote
control connector (side A or B).
3) Connect the plug of the remote controller
into the receptacle of the extension
cord (cord reel). Up to 3 cord reels (30 m x
3) can be connected.
