E. DIGITAL VOLTS DISPLAY

 - In the normal

mode, this large, easy to read digital display

indicates actual output voltage or preset voltage

level when the PRESET SWITCH is depressed.

If a machine error occurs this display will

automatically switch to the error mode and

display "Err".

F. FAULT INDICATOR

 - Indicates an improper

input line condition. The machine will not

energize. The machine must be reset by turning

the POWER “ON/OFF” SWITCH to "OFF" and

then back to “ON”, after the proper input voltage

is selected.

a. Indicator illuminated - A primary input over-

current condition has occurred.

b. Indicator blinking - The INPUT VOLTAGE

SELECT SWITCH at the rear of the

machine is set incorrectly for the primary

input voltage applied.

G. TEMP INDICATOR

 - Indicates that an over-

temperature condition has occurred and the

machine will cease to function. "Err 4" will

appear in the digital displays. The machine will

return to normal operation once the temperature

decreases to a safe operating level.

H. POWER INDICATOR

 - Indicates power is

present in the machine and that control circuits

are energized.

I.

DIGITAL AMPS DISPLAY

 - In the normal mode,

this large, easy to read digital display indicates

actual output amperage or preset amperage

level when the PRESET SWITCH is depressed.

If a machine error occurs this display will

automatically switch to the error mode and

display the error code number.

J. OUTPUT CURRENT/VOLTAGE CONTROL

  -

Sets the welding power output of the machine.

When in the STICK, TIG, and Touch TIG modes,

this knob controls the output welding current

(amperes). When in the MIG mode, this knob

controls the welding voltage (volts).

K. PRESET SWITCH

 - When depressed, the digital

meters will display the adjustment level of the

OUTPUT CURRENT/VOLTAGE control. This

allows the welder the ability to quickly and easily

preset the desired output level before attempting

to weld. This greatly reduces the “trail & error”

approach to adjusting proper welding conditions.

1. PROCESS SELECT SWITCH in the MIG

mode - Depressing the PRESET SWITCH

displays the output voltage level in the

VOLTS window for the given OUTPUT

CONTROL setting.

2. PROCESS SELECT SWITCH in the STICK,

TIG, Touch TIG modes - - Depressing the

PRESET SWITCH displays the output current

level in the AMPS window for the given

OUTPUT CONTROL setting.

L. STICK ARC FORCE / MIG ARC TRIM

 - This

control allows the welder to fine tune arc

characteristics to suit specific applications and

individual preferences.

1. PROCESS SELECT SWITCH in the STICK

mode - the STICK ARC FORCE control

adjusts the amount of “digging” action when

the arc length is shortened. This adjustment

is based mostly on personal preference of the

welder.

a. Settings  from  0 mid point toward

negative (-). The welding arc becomes

softer and has less penetrating power as

the welding arc length is shortened.

b. Settings from 0 mid point toward positive

(+). The welding arc becomes stiff and

has more penetrating power when the arc

length is held short.

2. PROCESS SELECT SWITCH in the MIG mode

- the MIG ARC TRIM control adjusts the arc

dynamic characteristics primarily for short arc

welding. This adjustment is based mostly on

personal preference of the welder.

a. Settings  from  0 mid point toward

negative (-). The welding arc becomes

crisp with a higher buzzing sound. The

weld pool becomes less fluid and the

weld bead may become more crowned.

b. Settings from 0 mid point toward positive

(+).The welding arc becomes softer with

a more crackling sound. The weld pool

becomes more fluid and the weld bead
may be flatter.

M. PROCESS SELECT SWITCH

 - Selects the

desired welding process to be performed. Switch
selections and associated process are as follows:

Mig Position - Output is always energized
Contactor on - Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)

- Short Circuiting Arc Welding
- Spray Arc Welding
- Flux Cored Arc Welding

Stick Position - Output is always energized
Contactor on -  Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)

- Air Carbon Arc Gouging (ACAG)

Mig Position - Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)

- Short Circuiting Arc Welding
- Spray Arc Welding
- Flux Cored Arc Welding

TIG Position - Gas Tungsten Arc Welding

  (GTAW) scratch start

Touch TIG

 - Gas Tungsten Arc Welding

Position

  (GTAW) with Lift Arc
