(work  return).  Place  the  end  o

  the 

electrode  in  contact  with  the  electrode 
touch point (point 3 – control layout).The 
electrode  should  remain  in  contact  for 
the duration of the process of setting.

Remote control operation 

1.

 

On the remote control press the set 

button  (point  5  –  control  layout)  to 
highlight the parameter to be set, either 
welding  current  or  arc  force  (the 
parameter  will  be  indicated  by  either 
LED 1 or 2 lit on the control).

2.

 

The display will show either welding 

current  or  arc  force  dependent  on  the 
selection

3.

 

Adjust  the  value  using  the  plus  or 

minus  buttons  to  the  required  value, 
shown  on  the  display.  When  adjusting 
the  welding  current  or  arc  force  LED 
(dependent on selection) will flash

4.

 

When  adjusting  the  arc  force  if  no 

buttons are pressed within 5 seconds, it 
will  automatically  switch  to  the  current 
display state.

5.

 

When  the  values  are  set  press  the 

send button and the digital display "---", 
which means that it is in communicating 
mode.  If  the  digital  re-displays  the 
current  parameter  values  and  the  LED 
stops  flashing,  this  means  that  the 
communication  is  completed  and  data 
has been transmitted to the data to the 
power source.

6.

 

If the communication does not work 

within  5  second,  please  re-press  the
