OPERATION
B-7
Amperage Display Meter
• Prior to STICK or TIG operation (current flow), the
meter displays preset current value.
• Prior to CV operation, the meter displays four dash-
es indicating non-presettable AMPS.
• During welding, this meter displays actual average
amps.
• After welding, the meter holds the actual current
value for 5 seconds. The displays blink indicating
that the machine is in the "hold" period.
•Output adjustment while in the "hold" period results
in the "prior to operation" characteristics
Weld Terminals On/Remote Toggle Switch
• This switch determines the trigger location.
• When set to the
“ON”
position, the weld terminals
are at OCV (open circuit voltage) and ready to weld.
• When set to the
“REMOTE”
position, output is
enabled through a remote trigger.
Control - Local/Remote Toggle Switch
• Set the switch to
“Local”
to control output at the
machine by the Output Control dial.
• Set the switch to
“REMOTE”
to control output via a
remote device (K857 hand amptrol or K870 foot
amptrol) connected to the
6-pin
remote connector
or a wire feeder connected to the
14-pin
connector.
Thermal Light
• This status light indicates when the power source
has been driven into thermal overload. If the output
terminals were
"ON"
, the output will be turned back
on once the unit cools down to an acceptable tem-
perature level. If the unit was operating in the
"REMOTE"
mode, the trigger will need to be
opened before or after the thermal has cleared and
closed after the machine has cooled down to an
acceptable temperature to establish output.
FLEXTEC™ 450
VRD™ (VOLTAGE REDUCTION DEVICE)
INDICATOR LIGHT
(For Code 11941 only)
There are 2 indicator lights on the case front of the
Flextec™ 450 above the Voltage LED Display to indi-
cate the status of VRD™ operation. As shipped, the
VRD™ function is disabled. VRD™ is enabled by set-
ting dip switches on the Control P.C. board (See
Internal Controls Figure B.3 in this
Operation
Section)
. When VRD™ is active:
• A green light indicates the OCV (open circuit volt-
age) is less than 35V peak.
• A red light indicates the OCV is at or above 35V
peak.
• Both lights will illuminate for 5 seconds at power up.
For each weld mode, the VRD™ lights function as
shown in Table B.1:
