SECTION 4 OPERATION
4. OPERATION
A. WIRE FEEDER COMPATIBILITY
The MultiPower 460 Pulse power source can be used with several ESAB 42
volt wire feeders. The model wire feeder being used will determine the setup
method and operator interface. The position of the REMOTE/PANEL switch
determines the location of the voltage preset and TRIM locations. The wire feed
Table 4-1. Wire Feeder Compatibility
speed is always set from the wire feeder using the wire speed knob on the
feeder control panel. To see the preset wire feed speed, press the PRESET
button on the MultiPower 460 Pulse control panel. Use Table 4-1 to determine
the switch position of operator preference. In most Mig welding applications,
the switch will be in the REMOTE position and the wire feed speed and voltage
will be adjusted from the wire feed front panel.
B. DIGITAL DISPLAY METERS
The digital displays located on the left side of the control panel are multifunc-
tional depending on the welding process being used. The MultiPower 460
Pulse digital display meters permit preset of the wire feed speed on wire feeders
without digital displays. A Mig 2E, 4HD or DuraDrive 4-30 or 4-48 will not need
digital meters to preset the wire feed speed. The wire feed speed can be
displayed on the MultiPower 460 Pulse panel meter.
C. MIG WELDING
In the MIG process mode, the digital displays will read preset wire feed speed
in inches per minute and preset arc volts when the PRESET button is pressed.
Once welding begins, the displays will show average welding current and
volts in the top and bottom display, respectively. The displays have a “HOLD”
circuit that retains the welding conditions. After welding stops, the display will
continue to show the last average welding current and voltage sampled for 10
seconds, then returns to “0”.
Never operate the power source with
the covers removed. In addition to the
safety hazards, improper cooling may
cause damage to the components.
Keep side panels and top closed when
unit is energized. Welding helmet,
gloves, and other personal protection
should always be worn when welding.
NOTE
Wire Feeders with 115VAC contactor
control circuitry cannot be connected to
the MultiPower 460.
NOTE
The digital wire feed speed meter on the
MultiPower front panel reads a maximum
of 760 ipm. Some wire feeders have
speed ranges that exceed this maximum
limit of the digital meter. Wire feed speeds
above 760 ipm will be displayed at 760
ipm.
NOTE
The digital volt meter on the MultiPower
front panel reads a maximum of of ap-
proximately 75 Vdc even if the OCV (Open
Circuit Voltage) is higher. The MultiP-
ower 460 has the following OCV"s:
STICK 75 to 80 Vdc
TIG - 38 to 42 Vdc
MIG - 11 to 44 Vdc
