1.  EURO Socket: For connecting a welding 

gun (for GMAW / FCAW-SS process). 

 

2.  Quick Connect Coupling: Coolant outlet 

(supplies cool coolant to the gun). 

 
3.  Quick Connect Coupling: Coolant inlet 

(takes warm coolant from the gun). 

 

 WARNING 

Maximum coolant pressure is 5,0 bar. 
 

4.  Output Socket for the Welding Circuit: For 

connecting an electrode holder with lead. 

 

 
 
 
 

5.  Remote Control Connector Plug (optional, 

PF44 only): To install Remote Control Kit. It 
can be purchased separately. See 
"Accessories" chapter. 

 

6.  Remote Control Receptacle (PF46 only): To
