A. Make all secondary output connections to the power source output receptacles as described in section 2 and as
shown in the appropriate wire feeder and/or control instruction literature.
B. After the primary input connections have been made in accordance with section 2, close the main wall disconnect
switch or circuit breaker.
C. Place the primary power switch in the ON position. This will apply power to the control circuitry as indicated by
the MAIN POWER light on the front panel. If the MAIN POWER light does not illuminate, check the position of the
INPUT VOLTAGE SELECT SWITCH for proper setting.
D. Place the PANEL/REMOTE switch in the desired position. Use the PANEL position for control from the power source's
front panel (typical for conventional MIG wire feeders), or the REMOTE position for remote voltage control wire
feeders and/or accessories. If REMOTE position is selected, set the PANEL potentiometer to maximum for full range
from remote.
E. Place the PROCESS SELECTOR switch in the MIG position.
F. Set the WIRE MODE SWITCH to the appropriate application setting.
G. Set a wire feed speed and begin welding.
H. If operating in the PANEL mode, adjust the OUTPUT potentiometer to the desired welding voltage by depressing
the PRESET SWITCH and reading the value in the VOLTS DISPLAY. The PRESET SWITCH is only functional with the
PANEL settings.
I. Set the ARC DYNAMIC potentiometer to the center position. Additional adjustment may be made to suit specific
needs or preferences by adjusting the pot either up or down. This can be particularly effective in short circuiting
arc applications.
J. Commence welding operations by energizing the torch switch.
K. For remaining wire feeder or control operations, refer to the appropriate instruction literature supplied with your
particular system.
