7. Remote LED: This indicator will turn on when a
remote control is connected to the machine via the
remote control connector. Using a remote control
will change the function of the output current control,
refer to the output current control section below.
8. Output LED: This indicator turns on when the output
of the machine is on.
• In stick welding mode, the output of the machine is
automatically turned ON.
• In Lift TIG welding mode without a remote control,
the output of the machine is automatically turned
ON. In this condition a triggering device is not need-
ed.
• In Lift TIG welding mode with a remote control, the
output of the machine is turned ON and OFF by the
remote device (i.e. hand or foot amptrol) connected
to the remote connector on the front of the machine.
Output must be triggered ON (output LED lit) to
enable Lift TIG starting. After machine output is trig-
gered ON, the arc must be started within 6.5 sec-
onds or output will turn OFF and trigger sequence
must be restarted. (Note: Any remote control device
with trigger-only circuit, such as the K814 Arc Start
Switch, will not be sensed by the V160-S remote
control connection, and therefore will not allow con-
trol of the output).

9. Output Current Control: This controls the output or
welding current of the machine.
The function of this control knob is changed if a
remote control is connected. If the Remote LED is
ON, this indicates that a remote control is connected
and the function of the output current control will be:
• Stick Welding Mode: The remote control will adjust
the output current of the machine from 5 to 160A.
The output current control knob on the display panel
is not used.
• TIG Welding Modes: The maximum output current of
the machine is set by the output current control knob.
The remote control then adjusts the output current
from the minimum output (5A) to the value set by the
output current control knob. For example, if the out-
put current control knob on the machine is set to
100A then the remote control will adjust the output
current from a minimum of 5A to a maximum of
100A.
