QUICK DISCONNECT PLUG (FOR STICK ELEC-
TRODE CABLE)
A quick disconnect system is used for the welding
cable connections. The stick electrode cable will need
to have a plug attached.
1. Cut off welding cable lug, if present.
2. Remove .75 in. (19mm) of welding cable insulation.
3. Slide rubber boot onto cable end. The boot end
may be trimmed to match the cable diameter. Use
soap or other nonpetroleum-based lubricant to help
slide the boot over the cable, if needed.
4. Cut 45-50% of the copper strands back 1/4” (6
mm).
5. Fold copper strands over cut strands and insert into
ferrule.
6. Slide the copper ferrule into the brass plug.
7. Tighten set screw to collapse copper tube. Screw
must apply pressure against welding cable. The top
of the set screw will be well below the surface of the
brass plug after tightening.
OUTPUT CONNECTION FOR TIG WELDING
A one piece Gas Valve Tig Torch is recommended for
use with the V160-S. A K960-1 Tig Torch adapter is
required. See Accessories Section.
REMOTE CONTROL CONNECTION
A remote control receptacle is provided on the lower
center case front of the welder for connecting a remote
control to the machine. The V160-S will automatically
sense if a remote control connection is made. In Lift
TIG mode (GTAW), WITHOUT a remote control device
connected to the V160-S, the output will come on auto-
matically. WITH a remote control device connected to
the unit, the output will need to be triggered, i.e. a Foot
Amptrol. Refer to the Optional Accessories section of
this manual for available remote controls.
The following items can be connected to the 6 pin
socket on the front panel:
• Remote control potentiometer (K857) for Stick weld-
ing.
•
Remote Foot Amptrol (K870), Hand Amptrol (K963-3).
