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 output will
be turned back on once the unit cools down to an accept-
able 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 temperature 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 contin-
uous 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 out-
put 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 pro-
duce 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 Crisp mode to
570 amps or setting the arc control to maximum will
enable the arc-gouging mode. The actual output cur-
rent will depend on the size of carbon used. The rec-
ommended 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.
