______________
The
contactor
control
circuitry
that
is
to
be
used
in
conjunction
with
this
control/feeder
must
be
of
the
type
that
operates
on
115
volts
60
Hertz
power.
This
is
necessary
because
the
control
will
supply
115
volts
ac
through
the
contactor
control
cable
whenever
the
gun
switch
is
closed.

The
contactor
control
circuitry
in
this
control/feeder
is
connected
to
operate
both
guns
from
one
welding
power
source.
Insert
the
plug
on
one
contactor
control
cable
fully
into
the
Left
Contactor
Control
receptacle
and
rotate
the

clockwise.
Connect

CAUTION
Both

wires
will

is
closed;
B.
Using
Two
Welding
Power
Sources
Through
minor
modification,
the
contactor
control
circuitry
of
the
control/feeder
can
be
adapted
to
operate
two
welding
power
sources,
that
is,
the
left
gun
switch
governing
contactor
control
to
one
welding
power
source
and
the
right
gun
switch
governing
contactor
control
to
the
other.
Two
contactor
control
cables
are
supplied
with
the
unit
for
making
connections
to
the
contactor
control
circuitries
in
the
welding
power
sources.
CAUTION
__________
Placing
the
POWER
switch
in
the
OFF
position
does
not
remove
power
from
all
of
the
controls
internal
circuitry.
Completely
terminate
all
electrical
power
to
the
control
by
removing
the
115

ac
plug
from
its
power
supply,
and
ensure
that

Ensure
that
during
all
adjustment
procedures,
full
threads
on
the
adjustment
rod
are
maintained
through
the
yoke.
If
full
threads
are
not
maintained,
the
boom
may
suddenly
drop
down
and
cause
injury
to
person
nel
or
damage
to
equipment.
The
amount
of
weight
which
the
boom
can
retract
into
the
upright
position
when
released
can
be
varied
by
adjusting
the
jam

and
adjustment
rod
located
at
the
base
of
the
boom.
If
heavier

are
installed
on
the

thereby
making
it
necessary
to
increase
the
amount
of
weight
that
the

can
lift,
loosen
the

and
rotate
the

rod
so
that
the

When
the

is
obtained,
tighten

POWER
SWITCH
(Figure
3-1)
Placing
the
POWER
switch
on
the
control
in
the
ON
position
will
apply
115
volts
ac
to
the
unit
and
thereby
place
it
in
an
operational
condition,
ready
to
feed
wire
and
permit
shielding
gas
to
flow
from
either
gun.
Placing
the
POWER
switch
in
the
OFF
position
will
shut
the
control/feeder
down.
rdhh1~~
Placing
the
POWER
switch
in
the
OFF
position
does
not
remove
power
from
all
of
the
controls
internal
circuitry.
Completely
terminate
all
electrical
power
to
the
control
by
removing
the
115
volts
ac
plug
from
its
power
supply,
and
ensure
that
machinery

procedures
have
been
em
ployed
on
the
welding

input
line
(see
Instruction

before
attempting
any
inspection
or
work
inside
the

WIRE
SPEED
CONTROLS
(Figure
3-1)
The
WIRE
SPEED
controls
provide
the
means
of
deter
mining
the
rate
at
which
welding
wire
is
fed
into
the
weld,
Rotating
the
LEFT
WIRE
SPEED
control
in
a
clockwise
direction
will
increase
the
rate
at
which
wire
is
fed
from
the
Left
Gun.
Rotating
the
RIGHT
WIRE
SPEED
control
in
a
clockwise
direction
will
increase
the
rate
at
which
wire
is
fed
from
the
Right
Gun.
The
scales
which
surround
the
WIRE
SPEED
controls
are
calibrated
in
increments
of
ten
ranging
from
0
to
100
percent.
Due
to
this
percentage
calibration,
it
should
be
noted
that
if
these
scales
are
used
to
select
the
wire
feed
speed
settings,
only
a
percentage
of
the
range
in
use
is
being
selected
and
not
an
actual
wire
feed
speed
rate.
When
a
WIRE
SPEED
control
is
set
at
0,
wire
will
feed
at
the
slowest
speed;
when
set
at
100,
the
wire
will
feed
at
the
fastest
speed.

The
Remote

are
provided
for
use
in
conjunction
with
certain
optional
controls.
When
an
optional
control
is
connected
across
a
Remote

receptacle,
the
corresponding
switch
must
be
in
the

If
no

must
be

PURGE
BUTTONS
(Figure
3-1)
The
PURGE
buttons,
located
on
the
front
panel
of
the
control,
are
momentary

switches.
The
Left
PURGE
button
will
energize
the
Left
Gas
Solenoid
and
purge
the
shielding

line
of
the
Left

The
Right

will
energize
the
Right

and
purge
the

of
the

The
PURGE

also
allow
the
shielding

to
be

and
the
RIGHT
INCH

RESET
CIRCUIT
BREAKER
(Figure

A
circuit
breaker,
located
on
the
upper

of
the
control
front

provides
protection
to
the
feeder
motor.
In
the
event
the
motor
should
be
placed
in
an
overload
condition,
the
breaker
would
trip
and
suspend
all

Should
this
breaker

would
have
to
be
