12. Remote Control Socket (WeldSkill 185 only)
The 8 pin Remote Control Socket is used to connect remote control devices (i.e. Spool Gun or Tig Torch) to
the welding power source. To make connections, align keyway, insert plug, and rotate threaded collar fully
clockwise.

Note that the remote/local switch (item 19) located in the wirefeed compartment should be set to remote for
the amperage/voltage controls to be operative.
13. Positive Welding Output Terminal
The positive welding terminal is used to connect the welding output of the power source to the appropriate
welding accessory such as the MIG torch (via the MIG torch polarity lead), electrode holder lead or work lead.
Positive welding current flows from the power source via this Dinse terminal. It is essential, however, that the
male plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
CAUTION
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being fused in the Dinse terminal.
14. Negative Welding Output Terminal
The negative welding terminal is used to connect the welding output of the power source to the work lead. Most
General Purpose electrodes are connected with work lead to negative. Consult the electrode manufacturer’s
information for the correct polarity.
Welding current flows from the workpiece via this Dinse type terminal to the power source. It is essential,
however, that the male dinse type plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
Do not over tighten.
CAUTION
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being fused in the Dinse terminal.
