Description
1. Active VRD signal. When lit this shows that the Voltage Reducing Device is active, reducing
the voltage across the welding sockets. This will happen within 2 seconds after the welding
arc is broken to protect the welder from electric chock.
Full arc striking voltage will automatically be re-established when the welding circuit is re-
established by touching the electrode to the work-piece
2. Remote control signal. Will be lit when a remote control is connected and remote adjustment
is selected at the back of the machine.
3. Power on warning. Green light when the machine is connected and switched on.
4. Thermal protection activated. Yellow light indicates that the protection thermostat has cut the
output. Do not switch the machine off. The fan will be running and the thermostat resets
automatically when the machine has cooled down sufficiently. The light will darken when the
machine is live again.
5. Selection of welding process:
Up:
SMAW (MMA) welding with stick electrodes
Down: GTAW (TIG) welding.
6. Welding current adjustment potmeter. Rotate knob clockwise to increase amperage,
minimum to 320 Ampere
7. Arc force increases the short circuit amperage providing a crisper arc, allowing the welder to
use very short arc without sticking the electrode in the melt pool. It is useful when welding
with stick electrodes at low amperages but gives more spatter. Set control to 0 (soft arc) for
normal electrode welding and TIG welding.
8. On/Off switch (Back panel)
9. Primary cable, 4 core 2,5mm², 3m long.
10. When lit the Total Protection function
has been activated due to one missing
phase in the power supply to the machine.
11. Selection of welding current adjustment:
-
On front panel
-
With remote control
12. Socket for remote control.
