WELDER INTERFACE

1. 

POWER ON

 – The power on will light up anytime the welder is plugged-in to an appropriate VAC source .

2. 

WELD GO

 – The weld go will light up anytime the weld trigger is active and the unit is welding .

3. 

SINGLE/REPEAT

 – This controls the mode of operation for the welder .  Selecting single will result in 

one weld per trigger actuation .  Repeat will allow the welder to make multiple welds, as long as the 
trigger is engaged (foot pedal is depressed) .  

4. 

WELD ON/WELD OFF

 – Selecting weld off will disable the welder from performing welds .  

5. 

WELD CYCLES

 – This switch gives the ability to use the normal weld cycles or to cut the cycles in half .  

The cycles are set using the cycle knobs on the bottom of the front panel .  Using a half cycle gives 
additional refinement when setting up the weld.

6. 

REST

 – This knob controls the rest time between pulses .  Setting the knob to “0” will set the machine in 

Seam Mode .

7. 

WELD

 – This knob controls the weld cycles, or how long the energy is released .

8. 

POWER

 – This knob controls the power as a percentage of total power, ranging from 40% - 100% .

9. 

POWER RANGE

 – This is available on the 5 .0kVA model .  The 5 .0kVA model has 4 power ranges to 

choose from .  Power range 1 is for lower powered welds; power range 4 is for higher powered welds .
