Setting the Mode Switch on Rear Panel
The slide switch on the rear panel selects between power
sources whose output contactors
are either internally energized or
externally energized from 115 VAC.
The Control Module is shipped
with the mode switch in the left
switch position and is for power
sources requiring only circuit clo-
sure (i.e., continuity) to energize
the output contactor. Lincoln ma-
chines are of this type. Right switch
position is for power sources re-
quiring that 115 VAC be supplied to
the contactor.
Make appropriate
power source
connections
and
