B-2 OPERATION B-2
6. THERMAL
• This status light indicates when the power source has
been driven into thermal overload. If the output terminals
were "ON", the "ON" light will blink indicating that the out-
put will be turned back on once the unit cools down to an
acceptable temperature 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 tempera-
ture to establish output.
7. CONTROL-REMOTE / LOCAL
• Two status lights indicate the location of output control as
pre-determined by the power sources auto-configure sys-
tem.
• The LOCAL display will be lit when control is at the power
source.
• The REMOTE display will be lit when a remote pot/control
is detected.
These Output Control configurations can be overridden
(switched) with the CONTROL push button. When
changed, the unit will power up in the configuration it was in
when it was last powered down.
Hidden Middle Control Panel – Process Set Up
Panel
The middle control panel is removable to allow for
upgrades (see Field Installed Options/Accessories).
Additionally, this panel is hidden by an access door to
provide protection to the controls.
8. WELD MODE SELECT - STANDARD (See
Figure B.1)
The Mode Control button selects from the following
welding modes.
CC-STICK SOFT : The Stick Soft process features con-
tinuous control ranging from 5 to 570 amps. This mode
was intended for most SMAW applications, and Arc
Gouging.
• Arc Gouging: Setting the output of the Stick Soft
mode to 570 amps or setting the arc control to maxi-
mum will enable the arc-gouging mode. The actual
output current will depend on the size of carbon used.
The recommended maximum size carbon is
3/8"(9.5mm).
• The Hot Start control regulates the starting current at
arc initiation. Hot Start can be adjusted from minimum
(0), with no additional current added at arc start, to
maximum (10), with double the preset current or 570
amps (max of machine) added for the first second
after arc initiation.
• The Arc Control regulates the Arc Force to adjust the
short circuit current. The minimum setting (-10) will
produce a "soft" arc and will produce minimal spatter.
The maximum setting (+10) will produce a "crisp" arc
and will minimize electrode sticking.
CC-STICK CRISP: The Stick Crisp mode features contin-
uous control from 5 to 570 amps with a crisp shorting
response optimized for E6010 type electrodes.
• Arc Gouging: Setting the output of the Stick Crisp
mode to 570 amps or setting the arc control to maxi-
mum will enable the arc-gouging mode. The actual
output current will depend on the size of carbon used.
The recommended maximum size carbon is
3/8"(9.5mm).
• The Hot Start control regulates the starting current at
arc initiation. Hot Start can adjust starting current up or
down by 25% of the preset value. The recommended
setting for Hot Start is 5 where the initial current is
equal to the preset current.
