.

This unit has a max OCV control circuit
that resets the Amperage/Voltage Con-
trol to maximum when the arc breaks.
When an arc is struck, weld output con-
trol returns to the front panel or remote
control setting. The Amperage/Voltage
Control adjusts amperage only when
welding and does not adjust open-circuit
voltage.
