INSTALLATION
This optional module is mounted in place of the standard
Burnback Module inside the wire feed compartment.
1. Remove four sheet metal screws from plate of the
standard Burnback Module located inside of the
Multimaster 260 Wire Feed compartment (see Fig.
1).

2. Disconnect the standard Burnback Module six pin
plug. Be sure to remove the male adaptor (see Fig.
2).
3. Connect the six pin plug of the Multimaster 260
wiring harness to the mating connector (P1) on the
Preflow/Postflow/Spot/Burnback/Trigger Module
printed circuit board.
4. Run the gray and violet wires attached to the circuit
board through the opening in the lower left corner
of the option compartment and route behind the
drive motor.

5. Disassemble the current sensor by carefully
unscrewing the hex nut on the “U” clip (see Fig. 3).
Position the “U” clip around the power cable under
the drive motor. Reassemble the sensor using the
hex nut. Connect the black wires (*which are
interchangeable) from the sensor to the violet and
gray wires from the P/C Board with the existing fast-
on connectors.
*These wire connections are not polarity sensitive.

6. Carefully position the wire harness and plugs
through the access hole, being careful not to pinch
any wires between the mounting plate and the
compartment panel.
7. Reinstall the four sheet metal screws into the new
option plate and secure.

OPERATION
Description of Control Functions (see Fig. 4):
1. Preflow/Postflow - The PREFLOW control sets
the time of the preflow shielding gas before the wire
starts feeding (0-1.5 sec.). The POSTFLOW control
sets the time the shielding gas remains “ON” after
the arc is turned “OFF” (0-7.5 sec.).
2. Spot Weld Time - This knob sets the spot weld
time from 0 to 5 seconds and is controlled by a
current sensor switch. The timer does not start until
current is detected to insure consistent results.
3. Burnback Timer - The burnback control knob
adjusts the time between the wire feed brake signal
and the welding contactor “off” signal. This
determines how far the wire will burnback towards
the contact tip after welding is completed. If the
wire is sticking in the weld pool, turn the knob
clockwise a small amount and retest. Continue this
procedure until the wire cleans the top of the weld
pool or burns back the desired amount.
4. Spot Weld Switch Position - With the toggle
switch in the SPOT (left) position the SPOT timer
is turned “ON” and the spot weld time is controlled
by the SPOT WELD TIMER knob.
5. Continuous Position - With the toggle switch in
the CONTINUOUS (center) position the welding
continues as long as the Mig gun trigger is
depressed.
6. Trigger Lock Position, the welding process begins
when the gun trigger is depressed. Once the
welding process has started, the gun trigger may
be released without affecting the welding process.
To stop the welding operation, the gun trigger must
be depressed a second time. This allows a
continuous weld without having to continuously
hold the gun trigger.
