LVCt Line Voltage Compensation is circuitry that keeps the power source output constant regardless of input pow-
er fluctuation.
Wind Tunnel Technologyt circulates air over components that require cooling, not over electronic circuitry, which
reduces contaminants and improves reliability in harsh welding environments.
Fan-On-Demandt cooling system operates only when needed, reducing noise, energy use and the amount of con-
taminants pulled through the machine.
Thermal Overload Protection automatically shuts down the unit, only when necessary to prevent damage to internal
components if the duty cycle is exceeded or air flow and cooling are restricted (see Section 3-4).
Auto Remote Sense enables the unit to automatically sense the connection of a remote control. Operation of the
remote control is dependent on the Mode Switch Setting (see Section 5-2).
Lift-Arct TIG starts provide a contamination free weld without the use of high frequency in the Lift-Arc TIG Welding
Mode (see Section 6-3).
Adaptive Hot Startt for Stick increases the output amperage at the start of a weld, eliminating electrode sticking
in CC and Stick Welding Modes (see Sections 8-2 and 8-3).
DIG control allows the arc characteristics, soft versus stiff, to be changed for specific applications and electrodes in

NOTICE − INCORRECT INPUT POWER can damage this welding power source. This welding power source requires a CONTINUOUS supply of
input power at rated frequency(+10%) and voltage (+10%). Phase to ground voltage shall not exceed +10% of rated input voltage. Do not use a genera-
tor with automatic idle device (that idles engine when no load is sensed) to supply input power to this welding power source.
NOTICE − Actual input voltage should not be 10% less than minimum and/or 10% more than maximum input voltages listed in table. If actual input
voltage is outside this range, output may not be be available.
Failure to follow these electrical service guide recommendations could create an electric shock or fire hazard. These recommenda-
tions are for a dedicated circuit sized for the rated output and duty cycle of the welding power source.
In dedicated circuit installations, the National Electrical Code (NEC) allows the receptacle or conductor rating to be less than the rating
of the circuit protection device. All components of the circuit must be physically compatible. See NEC articles 210.21, 630.11, and
630.12.
