inspect
for
any
damage
that
may
have
occurred
during
shipment.
Any
claims
for
loss
or
damage
that
may
have
occurred
in
transit
must
be
filed
by
the
purchaser
with
the
carrier.
A
copy

carrier
on
request
if
occasion
to
file
claim
arises.
When
requesting

DESCRIPTION
-
The
Electroslope
series
elec
tronic
slope
controls
are
designed
for
use
with
an
elec
trically
controlled
welding
power
source
which
has
a
30
volt
ac
control
voltage.
They
can
be
factory
installed
on
new
machines
or
shipped
as
separate
units
for
field
in
stallation.
By
proper
adjustment
of
the
controls,
a
gradual
increase
of
current
can
be
obtained
at
the
beginning
of
a
weld,
and
a
gradual
decrease
at
the
end
of
a
weld,
sometimes
referred
to
as
cratering
out.
The
Electroslope
can
be
furnished
with
10
turn
dials
in
place
of
any
or
all
of
the
standard
1
turn
dials
where
desirable
for
increased
accuracy
of
settings.

SAFETY
-
Before
the
equipment
is
put
into
operation,
the
safety
section
at
the
front
of
the
welding
power
source
or
welding
generator
manual
should
be
read
completely.
This
will
help
avoid
possible
injury
due
to
misuse
or
improper
welding
applications.
The
folloing
definitions
apply
to
NOTE
blocks
found
in
this
manual:

Under
this
heading,
explanatory
statements
will
be
found
that
need
special
emphasis
to
obtain
the
most
efficient

of
the
equipment.

SETTINGS
Iii.~1i~
This
formula
will
not
give
an
exact
setting
due
to
the
we/ding
power
source
particular
characteristics
and
various
amperage
settings
but
it
will
give
an
approx
imate
figure
as
to
where
the
dials
should
be
positioned.
If,
for
example,
it
is
desired
to
start
heating
the
material
with
100
amps
and
slope
up
to
250
amps
in
8
seconds.
At
the
end
of
the
weld
it
is
desired
to
slope
down
from
weld
to
a
final
current
of
75
amps
in
10
seconds.
The
Starting
Current
control
is
not
linear.
Therefore,
its
setting
must
be
determined
by
trial
and
error.
However,
once
the
setting
has
been
established
it
is
possible
to
obtain
the
Upslope
Rate
control
setting
to
obtain
8
seconds.
Assuming
that
the
Starting
Current
control
has
to
be
set
at
20
to
obtain
a
starting
current
of
100
amps,
this
for
mula
can
be
used
to
obtain
the
Upslope
Rate
control
setting:
In
order
to
obtain
the
Downslope
Rate
control
setting,
the
Final
Current
control
setting
must
be
know.
Since
it
is
known
that
a
Starting
Current
control
setting
of
20
gave
100
amps,
the
Final
Current
setting
can
next
be
obtained
using
this
formula:
