for
reinstallation
unless
specifically
told
otherwise.
IMPORTANT:
In
some
cases,
more
than
one
lead
is
identified
with
the
same
number.
A
lead
that
is
provided
as
part
of
the
field
installation
kit
and
arrives
not
connected
to
anything
is
called
a
loose
lead,
even
after
a
connection
has
been
made
at
one
end.
A
lead
that
already
has
a
connection
made
at
one
end
when
these
procedures
are
started
is
called
an
unconnected
lead.

time.
Since
the

or
ter
minal
strip,
it
is
vital
to
use
only

in
case
the
plug
supplied
on
the
remote
control
cord
is
not
suitable
for
connections
to
the
REMOTE

RC3.
Terminal
strip
3T
is
used
to
connect
any
of
the
following
equipment
to
the
welding
generator
control
circuitry:
a.
Remote
Contactor
b.
Remote

which
provides
contactor

d.
Combination
of
the
above.
To
make
connections,
proceed
as
follows:
1.
Remove
existing
plug
from
remote
control
cord.
2.
Open
and
secure
right

5.
Connect
leads
to
terminal
strip
3T
using
terminal
information
provided
in
Section
3-3
and
Figure
3-7.
Sockets
and

is
identical
to
the
function
of

to
the

is
set
at
