Install so face is vertical. Fitting has 5/8-18 right-hand threads. Obtain and install gas hose. 2 4 5 Gas In Fitting Gas Out Fitting
GAS IN
The Gas In and Gas Out fittings have 5/8-18 right-hand threads. Obtain proper size, type, and length hose and make connections as follows: Connect hose from shielding gas supply regulator/flowmeter to Gas In fitting. Connect hose coupler to torch. Connect one end of gas hose to hose coupler. Connect remaining end of gas hose to Gas Out fitting. Operation 3 1 The gas solenoid controls gas flow during the TIG process as follows: Remote TIG Gas flow starts with remote contactor on. Gas flow stops at end of postflow if current was detected, or with remote contactor off if no current was detected. LiftArc TIG Gas flow starts when tungsten touches work (touch sensed). Gas flow stops at end of postflow. Scratch Start TIG 5 Gas flow starts when current is detected. Gas flow stops at end of postflow. Postflow time is factory set to 5 seconds per 100 amps of weld current. The minimum postflow time is 5 seconds. The maximum post flow is 20 seconds (post flow settings are not adjustable by the end user).
GAS OUT
NOTICE Actual input voltage should not be 10% less than minimum and/or 10% more than maximum input voltages listed in table. If actual input voltage is outside this range, output may not be be available. Failure to follow these electrical service guide recommendations could create an electric shock or fire hazard. These recommendations are for a dedicated circuit sized for the rated output and duty cycle of the welding power source. In dedicated circuit installations, the National Electrical Code (NEC) allows the receptacle or conductor rating to be less than the rating of the circuit protection device. All components of the circuit must be physically compatible. See NEC articles 210.21, 630.11, and 630.12.

Reference: 2011 National Electrical Code (NEC) (including article 630) If a circuit breaker is used in place of a fuse, choose a circuit breaker with time-current curves comparable to the recommended fuse. Time-Delay fuses are UL class RK5. See UL 248. Normal Operating (general purpose - no intentional delay) fuses are UL class K5 (up to and including 60 amps), and UL class H ( 65 amps and above). Conductor data in this section specifies conductor size (excluding flexible cord or cable) between the panelboard and the equipment per NEC Table 310.15(B)(16). If a flexible cord or cable is used, minimum conductor size may increase. See NEC Table 400.5(A) for flexible cord and cable requirements.

V-Sense Feeder Weld Process This option enables MIG (V.SEN MIG) or Pulsed MIG (V.SEN PULS) when the Mode Switch is in the VSENSE FEEDER position. See Section 6-2 for MIG operation or Section 6-4 for Pulsed MIG operation. Pulsed MIG Manual/Auto Control This option sets the PULSED MIG control as manual (PULS MAN) or Auto (PULS AUTO) operation. When set to manual operation, the arc length setting on power source and wire speed setting on wirefeeder need to be adjusted independently to achieve the desired arc length. When set to Auto operation, once arc length is determined it is not necessary to change the arc length value with changes in wirefeed speed. The XMT 350 MPa and synergic feeders allow single knob control of the arc. As wirefeed speed is increased or decreased, the pulse parameters increase or decrease matching the power output to the wire speed.
All other wirefeeders will only operate as manual control. Even when Auto is displayed, operation will be manual when any other feeder is connected. See product literature for a list of compatible synergic feeders.
Pulsed MIG Adjustment This option allows adjusting the Pulsed MIG process in units of Arc Length (PULS ARC.L) or preset voltage (PULS VOLT). Wire Feed Speed And Wire Diameter Units WFS IPM: WFS is displayed in inches per minute Diameter is displayed in inches WFS MPM: WFS is displayed in meters per minute Diameter is displayed in millimeters Voltage Reducing Device (VRD) Mode This option enables (ON) or disables (OFF) low open circuit voltage (OCV) operation in Stick and Scratch Start TIG modes.

The active Gas Type will appear in the Left and Right Display. Rotate Adjust Control to select desired gas. Press the Setup Button again to confirm the selection. The unit will acknowledge a change of wire and gas information by displaying PROG LOAD momentarily. Arc Control (SharpArc) Press the Setup Button repeatedly until the Arc Control indicator is lit. SHRP appears on the Left Display, and the corresponding SharpArc setting appears on the Right Display. Rotate Adjust Control to select desired SharpArc setting from 0 to 50, default is 25. Adjusting the SharpArc setting changes the welding arc cone. Lower settings widen the arc cone, increases puddle fluidity and flattens the weld bead appearance. Higher settings narrow the arc cone, reduces puddle fluidity and crowns the weld bead appearance.
Arc Length - Pulsed MIG Manual Control (see Section 4-3) Arc length corresponds to the level of energy needed to burn off the welding electrode. As wire feed speed increases, a higher arc length setting is required to burn off the additional wire. The arc length setting appears in the Left Display when the Arc Length Indicator is lit. Arc length can be adjusted from 0 to 100. After the welding output terminals are energized, but prior to arc initiation, the unit displays the letter R and a reference wire speed (IPM) on the Right Display. The reference wire speed can be used as a starting point for the wire speed setting at the feeder. The wire speed and arc length setting can then be further adjusted to achieve the desired arc length. The Configuration Option Menu (see Section 4-1) can be used to change the arc length setting (0 to 100) to average arc voltage. Average arc voltage can be used as an alternative method to set the Pulsed MIG welding arc with the same parameters (voltage and wire speed) as a conventional MIG arc. Lower voltage settings correspond to tighter arc lengths while higher voltage settings correspond to longer arc lengths. If the voltage mode is selected, the average voltage preset will be displayed on the Left Display with the Volts Indicator lit. Arc Length - Pulsed MIG Auto Control (see Section 4-3) In Auto operation the arc length setting is 0-100. The programs have been developed at 50 arc length setting. Increasing or decreasing the arc length setting from 50 will change the arc length. It is not necessary to change the arc length value when changing wire feed speed settings.

9-1. Checking Unit Before Applying Power
! !
Measure voltage of input capacitors according to Section 9-2 and be sure voltage is near zero before touching any parts. Although control board PC1 and power interconnect board PC2 are briefly checked here, more complete tests may be needed later for these parts. This procedure is simply to get a basic okay to power up unit.
. The pre-power checks should be done if any of the following conditions exist:
the symptoms are unknown; the unit is completely inoperative; visual damage is found on any of the following components: capacitors C12 and C13, control board PC1, modules MOD1 and MOD2, interconnecting board PC2; there is no output or limited output.

All other connecting screws torque to (20 in. lbs (2.3 N.m) Visually inspect PC2 for damage. Check all measurements for PC2 (see Section 9-28).
Because R1 and R8 are connected to capacitors C12 and C13 the resistance measurements will require several minutes to complete. A more precise method would be to isolate R1 and R8 from the circuit. Perform this by removing the four connecting screws to C12 and C13 then slide paper between the capacitors and PC2. If any of the measurements do not read correctly, replace PC2, capacitors C12 and C13. Continue to the end of the pre-power checks.
