Manual 0-5450 4-3 INSTALLATION/SETUP
NOTE!
The preview functionality provided on this power source is intended to act as a guide only. Some dif-
ferences may be observed between preview values and actual welding values due to factors including
the mode of welding, differences in consumables/gas mixtures, individual welding techniques and the
transfer mode of the welding arc (ie dip versus spray transfer). Where exact settings are required (in the
case of procedural work), it is recommended that alternate measurement methods be utilized to ensure
output values are accurate.
5. MIG Gun Adapter (Tweco Style)
The MIG Gun adapter is the connection point for the Tweco Fusion MIG Gun. Connect the MIG Gun by pushing the MIG Gun connec-
tor into the brass MIG Gun Adapter firmly and screw the locking screw in the MIG Gun Adapter within the Wire Feed Compartment
to secure the Tweco Fusion MIG Gun in position. Failure to properly lock the Tweco MIG Gun into the MIG Gun Adapter will result in
the Tweco Fusion MIG Gun being pushed out of the MIG Gun Adapter by the MIG welding wire or lack of shielding gas (porosity in
the weld) at the weld zone. To remove the MIG gun simply reverse these directions.
6. 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 gun (via the MIG polarity lead), electrode holder lead or work lead. Positive welding current flows from the power
source via this heavy duty bayonet type 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 bayonet terminal
7. MIG Polarity Lead
The polarity lead is used to connect the MIG gun to the appropriate positive or negative output terminal (allowing polarity reversal
for different welding applications). In general, the polarity lead should be connected in to the positive welding terminal (+) when
using steel, stainless steel or aluminum electrode wire. When using gasless wire, the polarity lead is generally connected to the
negative welding terminal (-). If in doubt, consult the manufacturer of the electrode wire for the correct polarity. 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 bayonet terminal
8. Negative Welding Output Terminal
The negative welding terminal is used to connect the welding output of the power source to the appropriate welding accessory
such as the MIG gun (via the MIG polarity lead), TIG torch or work lead. Negative welding current flows to the power source via this
heavy duty bayonet type 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 bayonet terminal
9. Remote Control Socket
The 8 pin Remote Control Socket is used to connect remote control devices to the welding power source. To make connections,
align keyway, insert plug, and rotate threaded collar fully clockwise.
