1

Voltage/Wire Speed Meter

2

Voltage/Wire Speed Switch

When switch is in Voltage position, and

operator is welding, meter displays arc

voltage. Cable resistance and poor

connections may cause displayed voltage to

vary slightly from actual voltage at welding

arc.

When switch is in Wire Speed position and

operator is welding, meter displays preset

wire speed in inches per minute. This wire

speed is the combined settings of the Weld

Speed Control on unit and Wire Speed

Control on gun.

During run-in portion of weld cycle, meter

displays run-in speed as selected on Run-In

Speed control on feeder.

When welding Direct Current Electrode

Negative (DCEN), meter does not display

accurate output voltages; however, meter

displays accurate wire speed values.
3

Remote Voltage Control (Optional)

Use control to adjust arc voltage at the wire

feeder.

The scale around the control is marked in

percent.

4

Wire Speed Control

Use control to set wire feed speed after arc

initiation.

.

The gun wire feed speed control adjusts

wire speed from minimum to maximum

setting on Wire Speed Control.

The scale around the control is percent of full

range, not wire speed.
5

Schedule A Indicator LED

LED illuminates when Schedule A is active.
6

Press To Set Push Button

Use push button to set wire speed for

Schedule B.
7

Schedule B Indicator LED

LED illuminates when Schedule B is active.
8

Wire Speed B Control (Optional)

Use control to set wire feed speed for a

schedule B welding operation.

.

A dual schedule switch must be installed

in unit to set wire speed B. There is no

run-in speed setting for wire speed B.

The scale around the control is percent of full

range, not wire speed.

9

Remote Voltage B Control (Optional)

Use control to adjust arc voltage at the wire

feeder for a schedule B welding operation.
The scale around the control is marked in

percent.
10 Jog/Purge Switch
Push up to momentarily feed welding wire at

speed set on Wire Speed control without

energizing welding circuit or shielding gas

valve.
Push down to momentarily energize gas

valve to purge air from gun or adjust gas

regulator.
11 Trigger Hold Switch
Push up to weld without holding gun trigger

throughout the weld cycle.
To start weld, press gun trigger, and trigger

hold will actuate after 3 seconds of weld time.

To end weld, press and release gun trigger.
12 Flowmeter (Optional)
Use flowmeter to control shielding gas flow

at the feeder. The scale on the flowmeter is

in cubic feet per hour (CFH). Read gas flow

at the widest part of the float in the meter.

Rotate valve to change gas flow as

necessary.
A regulator is still required on shielding gas

supply with this option.
