5.4.1.2 CV (CONSTANT VOLTAGE) MODE -
USING A VOLTAGE SENSING SUITCASE
FEEDER
CV (Constant Voltage) Mode – commonly referred to as -
Wire Welding, MIG welding, or Gas Metal Arc Welding
(GMAW)
1. With the motor shut off, insert the twist lock
connection of the ground clamp into the
negative (-) welder connection port on the
control panel. Insert the power lead segment
from the suitcase feeder into the positive (+)

CC/CV switch in CV mode.
4. Adjust the power dial on the Air N Arc 300 to
the appropriate voltage setting for the
material being welded. Adjust the power dial
on the suitcase feeder for the material being
welded. At anytime during welding, the
power dial may be adjusted to the desired
voltage level.

Wire Welding, MIG welding, or Gas Metal Arc Welding
(GMAW)
1. With the motor shut off, insert the twist lock
connection of the ground clamp into the
negative (-) welder connection port on the
control panel. Insert the power lead segment
from spool gun adapter into the positive (+)
