Description
The 9700W control is a microprocessor-based control designed for the control of welding
wire feed. It is primarily used with GTAW and PAW for both cold wire and hot wire delivery.
The delivery mechanism requires other parts. In the case of hot wire an additional power
source is needed. The 9700W is one of a series of controls designed for ease-of-use and
for accurate control of various drive motors for different weld applications.
The control is packaged in a conveniently-sized enclosure with Amphenol connectors. The
enclosure has four mounting holes to permit it to be fastened to the face of a travel carriage
or to a control podium. The front panel is a membrane overlay with a graphic backlit LCD
display and switches to control the setup and operation of the unit.
The 9700W control has been designed to be easy to use. Its operation is made easier by
the use of the display which guides you through the setup process, and during the welding
sequence, tells you what is happening.
