Lincoln Electric INVERTEC V160-S - Manual (Page 17)

B-5 OPERATION B-5
DIP Switch 6: European/USA Machine
Configuration
This configures several functions of the V160-S as
required by the European and USA markets. For the
European market it is OFF and for the USA market it
is ON.
Specifically, this configures the operation of the TIG
slope timers, remote control, and trigger. However,
this configuration also depends on the position of DIP
Switch 1 which selects the machine type. This setting
can be changed but only if the following functions are
clearly understood.
(DIP Switch 1 = ON)
In TIG welding mode, the following conditions can
exist.
• No TIG slopes are available. If slopes are needed a
foot pedal remote control can be used.
• No remote control connected. With no remote con-
trol connected, the output is ON and a trigger is not
needed. Simple Lift TIG welding is possible.
• Remote control connected. With a remote control
connected, the output is OFF and a trigger is need-
ed. Simple Lift-TIG welding is possible using a 2-
step trigger sequence.
DIP Switch 7 thru 8 non-functional for the V160-S.
START/CRATER CURRENT ADJUSTMENT
It is not possible to change the start/crater current of a
"S" type machine. The values set from the factory
are:
European Machines: 20% (160A welding current =
32A start/crater current)
USA Machines: 10% (160A welding current =
16A start/crater current)
