6-2. Weld Output Controls

1

Weld Process Selector Switch

NOTICE − Do not switch while welding.
Use switch to select type of weld output.
Wire (GMAW) Welding: Use a positive (+)

position for Direct Current Electrode Positive

(DCEP) and a negative (−) position for Direct

Current Electrode Negative.
Stick (SMAW) and TIG (GTAW Welding): Use

a positive (+) position for Direct Current Elec-

trode Positive (DCEP) and a negative (−) posi-

tion for Direct Current Electrode Negative.

Use AC position for alternating current.

2

Coarse Range Switch

NOTICE − Do not switch while welding.

Use switch to select weld amperage range

when Weld Process Selector switch is in Stick/

Tig position, or voltage range when switch is in

Wire position.

.

For best arc starts and when using weld
and generator power together, use a low

Coarse Range setting with the Fine con-

trol set at 7 or higher.

3

Fine Control

Use control to select weld amperage (Stick/

Tig) or voltage (Wire) within the range selected

by the Coarse Range switch. Control may be

adjusted while welding.
Set control at 10 for maximum generator

power.
Weld output would be about 124 A DC based

on control settings shown (80% of 60 to 140

A). Settings shown are typical for welding with

a 7018 (1/8) electrode.

.

See Sections 6-3 thru 6-5 for typical pro-
cess connections and control settings.
