The Flextec™ 450 CE is a multi-process inverter
welder. The -6=5&C@46DD)6=64E@C)H:E49 is used
to set the desired weld mode. The Flextec™ 450 CE
has 4 selectable welding modes:
##-V This is a CC (constant current) weld
mode used for the MMAW stick welding process.
*-V This is a CC (constant current) weld
mode used for the GTAW TIG welding process.
,V This is CV (constant voltage) weld mode used
for welding the GMAW MIG welding process and
the FCAW-GS, flux cored gas shielded welding
process.
,??6CD9:6=5V This is a CV (constant voltage)
weld mode used for welding the FCAW-SS, flux
cored self shielded welding process
The Flextec™ 450 CE is also capable of gouging.
Gouging can be done in the MMAW mode.
In addition to the weld process selector switch, a hot
start toggle, output control dial and arc control dial are
provided to setup and fine tune the welding procedure.

The Hot Start control regulates the starting current at
arc initiation. Hot Start can be set to W%77X and no
additional current is added at arc start. When set to
the W%?X position, additional current (relative to the
preset current) is added at arc initiation.

Full range selection of arc control from -10 to +10. In
CV mode, this control is an inductance control. In
stick mode, the control adjusts the arc force.

Output control is conducted by a single turn poten-
tiometer. (Adjustment is indicated by the meters.)
When in Remote Mode, this control sets the maximum
welding current of the remote device. For example, full
depression of a foot or hand amptrol results in the pre-
set level of current.

• Prior to CV operation (current flow), the meter dis-
plays desired preset voltage value.
• Prior to STICK or TIG operation, the meter displays
the Open Circuit Voltage of the Power Source or four
dashes if the output has not been turned on.
• During welding, this meter displays actual average
volts.
• After welding, the meter holds the actual voltage
value for 5 seconds. The displays blink indicating that
the machine is in the "hold" period.
• Output adjustment while in the "hold" period results in
the "prior to operation" characteristics.

When power is applied to the Flextec™ 450 CE, the
displays will illuminate and display the voltage and/or
amperage settings.
