Functional Description

NORMAL (2T)

This mode of welding is used to weld two or more components together with

a continuous weld. Pressing and holding the MIG torch trigger switch will

activate the power source such that welding can commence. Releasing the

MIG torch trigger switch will de-activate the power source.

SPOT

This mode of welding is used to produce short welding runs of a pre-set

duration. This duration is set using the Spot Time Control (A). Pressing and

holding the MIG torch trigger switch will activate the power source until such

time as the desired Spot time has elapsed after which the power source will

de-activate.
The spot time period is set by the SPOT TIME control (A) located in the

wiredrive compartment.

LATCH (4T)

This mode of welding is mainly used for long weld runs. The MIG torch

trigger switch is depressed (and released) to activate the power source, and

then depressed (and released) a second time to de-activate the power source.

This obviates the need for the operator to depress the trigger for the complete

length of the weld run.

C. LOCAL/REMOTE MODE SWITCH

The Local/Remote switch is used to switch between local and Remote modes.

Local Mode

Set the switch in the Local position when using the power source only (With no optional external

wirefeeder).

Remote Mode

Set the switch in the Remote position when using an optional remote wirefeeder. This will enable the

wirefeeder and allow the wirespeed to be controlled from the remote wirefeeder wirespeed control. The

other controls such as trigger mode, inch, gas purge, spot, burnback will still be controlled from the

power source.
