SECTION 3 INSTALLATION OR RELOCATION  
IMPORTANT: Read entire Section 8 on equipment that  
produces output in the radio frequency range, such as  
high-frequency starters, for site selection information  
and installation requirements before beginning the in-  
stallation procedures.  
FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause serious  
personal injury and equipment damage.  
Use lifting eye to lift unit only, NOT running  
gear, gas cylinders, or any other heavy  
accessories or devices.  
Use equipment of adequate capacity to lift  
the unit.  
3-1. SITE SELECTION  
If lifting or moving this unit with lift forks under  
the base, be sure that lift forks are long enough  
to extend beyond opposite side of the base.  
Even though the TIG-Unit is an accessory package pro-  
viding Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) capability for  
the solid-state welding power source, it is recom-  
mended that certain practices and procedures be fol-  
lowed to aid long life and efficient operation.  
Using lift forks too short can damage internal  
parts if tips of the lift forks penetrate the unit  
base, or may cause personal injury and/or  
equipment damage if unit falls off the lift forks.  
The TIG-Unit for 300 and 400 ampere welding power  
sources is convection-cooled. It does not have or need a  
fan to aide the cooling process. The TIG-Unit for 500  
and 600 ampere welding power sources is fan-cooled.  
However, it is recommended that a suitable location be  
chosen to provide adequate airflow, not only for the  
welding power source, but for the TIG-Unit as well. See  
welding power source Owners Manual for proper instal-  
lation site information.  
3-3. COMPONENT INSTALLATION ON FACTORY  
INSTALLED UNITS (Figure 3-1)  
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.  
Do not touch live electrical parts.  
Shut down welding power source, and dis-  
connect input power employing lockout/tagging  
procedures before inspecting or installing.  
WARNING: RESTRICTED AIRFLOW can  
cause overheating and possible damage to  
internal parts.  
Maintain at least 18 inches (457 mm) of  
unrestricted space on all sides of unit, and keep  
underside free of obstructions.  
Lockout/tagging procedures consist of pad-  
locking line disconnect switch in open position,  
removing fuses from fuse box, or shutting off  
and red-tagging circuit breaker or other discon-  
necting device.  
IMPORTANT: Read entire Section 8 on equipment that  
produces output in the radio frequency range, such as  
high-frequency starters, for site selection information  
and installation requirements before beginning the in-  
stallation procedures.  
Do not place any filtering device over the in-  
take air passages that provide airflow for cooling  
this unit.  
Warranty is void if any type of filtering device is  
used at intake air passages.  
The TIG-Unit was shipped installed on and wired into  
the welding power source. To prepare the TIG-Unit for  
operation, proceed as follows:  
3-2. TRANSPORTING METHODS  
This unit is equipped with a lifting eye for moving during  
installation. Weight capacity of the lifting eye only allows  
for supporting the unit and welding power source.

move component bag, and route short intercon-  
necting cord (approximately 4 ft. or 1.2 m) with plug  
attached through access opening on left side of  
TIG-Unit. Connect plug to REMOTE 14 (Amperage  
And Contactor Control) receptacle on welding pow-  
er source; align keyway, insert plug, and rotate

sources Owners Manual for correct size) to the  
weld output terminals behind access door on TIG-  
Unit (see Figure 4-1).  
3-4. FIELD INSTALLATION OF TIG-UNIT  
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.  
Do not touch live electrical parts.  
3. Remove and discard bottom center sheet-metal  
screw from right side panel of welding power  
source.  
Shut down welding power source, and dis-  
connect input power employing lockout/tagging  
procedure before beginning this installation.  
Lockout/tagging procedures consist of pad-  
locking line disconnect switch in open position,  
removing fuses from fuse box, or shutting off  
and red-tagging circuit breaker or other discon-  
necting device.  
4. Route welding cables (labeled POSITIVE and  
NEGATIVE) from rear of TIG-Unit down right side of  
welding power source.  
5. Slide supplied clamps (in bag) over welding cables,  
and attach clamps with new sheet-metal screw (in  
bag) to bottom center hole on right side panel of  
welding power source. Before securing sheet-metal  
screw, route welding cables from rear of TIG-Unit to  
output terminals under front access door on welding  
power source and connect POSITIVE lead (No. 17)  
and NEGATIVE lead (No. 12) to correspondingly la-  
beled terminals on the welding power source (see  
Figure 3-1). Secure clamps with sheet-metal  
screw; secure cables to terminals.  
IMPORTANT: Although this unit was primarily designed  
to be mounted directly to the welding power source, re-  
mote installation is possible if necessary. For remote in-  
stallation procedures, see Section 3-7. All directions,  
such as left or right, are with respect to the operator fac-  
ing the welding power source front panel. Retain all  
hardware removed during this procedure for reinstalla-  
tion. For installation onto 600 ampere welding power  
sources which require different mounting instructions,

An adjustable 0 to 60 seconds gas-coolant POSTFLOW  
time control is provided for controlling the period of time  
shielding gas and coolant are allowed to flow after the

Rotating the control in a clockwise direction increases  
the postflow time. The scale surrounding the POST-  
FLOW time control is calibrated in seconds to aid in the  
selection of a postflow time period suited to the individu-  
al welding operation.  
DO NOT SWITCH  
WHILE WELDING  
As soon as the contactor is deenergized, the postflow  
timer begins to time out the selected period of postflow  
time. Once the timer has timed out, the gas and coolant  
valves close and thereby cut off shielding gas and cool-  
ant flow. The timer automatically resets and is ready for  
another weld cycle.  
CAUTION: ARCING can damage switch  
contacts.  
Do not change POLARITY SWITCH position  
while welding or under load.  
4-5. REMOTE HAND CONTROLS  
The POLARITY switch provides a means of selecting ei-  
ther electrode negative or electrode positive weld output  
polarity without having to change the output cable con-  
nections.  
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill; UN-  
EXPECTED HIGH FREQUENCY DURING  
PREFLOW can cause serious injury and  
equipment damage.  
Placing the POLARITY switch in the ELECTRODE  
NEGATIVE position causes the ELECTRODE output  
terminal to be negative and the WORK output terminal  
to be positive. Conversely, if the POLARITY switch is  
placed in the ELECTRODE POSITIVE position, the  
ELECTRODE output terminal is positive and WORK  
output terminal is negative.  
Do not allow electroslope switch or other unit  
control switch to be maintained closed during  
preflow time.  
Always close and immediately open control  
switch to ensure that high frequency will not be  
present during preflow.  
If the unit is equipped with the optional electro-  
slope and preflow timer, it is possible to have  
high frequency present during preflow without  
machine contactor energized.  
4-3. GAS/COOLANT SWITCH (Figure 4-1)  
ON  
GAS/COOLANT  
A fingertip control (RCC-14) is supplied with every unit.  
This control is a maintained-contact type switch used for  
remote Amperage and Output (Contactor) control. The  
fingertip control must be connected to the REMOTE 14  
receptacle (see Figure 4-1 and Section 3-10) under the  
front access door of the TIG-Unit to be functional. This  
control is designed to be strapped to the torch handle for  
convenient operation.  
/
OFF  
The function of the GAS/COOLANT switch is to govern  
the operation of the gas and water solenoids and the  
POSTFLOW timer. When this switch is in the OFF posi-  
tion, the gas and coolant valves and POSTFLOW timer  
are disabled (out of the circuit). When this switch is in the  
ON position, the gas and coolant valves and POST-  
FLOW timer are energized (in the circuit). The ON posi-  
tion of this switch is normally used for Gas Tungsten Arc  
Welding applications; the OFF position is used for  
Shielded Metal Arc Welding applications.  
IMPORTANT: When employing the RCC-14 remote  
control, the AMPERAGE switch on the TIG-Unit must  
be in the REMOTE position for proper remote control  
operation.  
A momentary-contact type switch (RMLS-14) is addi-  
tionally supplied with each unit equipped with an Elec-  
troslope. This control must be connected to the RE-  
MOTE 14 receptacle (see Figure 4-1 and Section 3-10)  
under the front access door of the TIG-Unit to be func-  
tional. It is necessary to press this switch each time a  
new or different weld condition is desired. This switch al-  
lows the operator to manually control the selection of the  
welding conditions and duration of that condition. It fur-  
ther gives the operator the capability of moving rapidly  
from one condition to the next, if desired. It is necessary  
to press this switch four times to advance the unit  
through a complete weld cycle. Anytime that the arc is  
broken (except during the initial condition), the Electro-  
slope will automatically reset to Off. During the initial

switch (RMLS-14) is closed. High frequency will remain  
energized until an arc is established or only as long as  
the momentary-contact switch is held closed. Provided  
that an arc has been established, releasing the momen-  
tary-contact switch will deenergize the high frequency. If  
an arc is not established, the high frequency will remain  
energized until an arc is established or until the momen-  
tary-contact switch is pushed again shutting the unit  
down.

WARNING: USING HIGH FREQUENCY WITH  
THE SHIELDED METAL ARC WELDING  
PROCESS can result in serious personal in-  
jury.  
The HIGH FREQUENCY control is calibrated in percent  
and determines the amount of high-frequency energy  
that is available to initiate the arc. Rotating the control  
clockwise increases the intensity of the high-frequency  
energy. Normally the control needs to be adjusted only  
initially.  
Place the HIGH FREQUENCY switch in the  
OFF position before using Shielded Metal Arc  
Welding process.  
The attempted use of high frequency to estab-  
lish an arc with a stick electrode could cause an  
arc to form between the electrode holder and  
operator.  
IMPORTANT: As the high frequency is increased, the  
possibility of causing interference with local radio and  
television receivers also increases. It is recommended  
that the HIGH-FREQUENCY control be set at as low a  
position as practical while still maintaining a satisfactory  
welding operation to avoid such interference.  
The HIGH FREQUENCY switch provides two positions:  
ON and OFF.  
When the HIGH FREQUENCY switch is in the OFF po-  
sition, high frequency will not be available. The OFF po-  
sition should be used for Shielded Metal Arc Welding  
applications. When the HIGH FREQUENCY switch is in  
the ON position, high frequency will be in a ready status  
and will be present when the contactor in the welding  
power source is closed until an arc is established. The  
ON position is normally used for Gas Tungsten Arc  
Welding applications.  
4-8. METERS (Optional) (Figure 4-1)  
The meters are provided to monitor the welding opera-  
tion. They are not intended for exact amperage or volt-  
age measurements. These meters are internally con-  
nected to the output terminals. The voltmeter will indi-  
cate the voltage at the output terminals, but not neces-  
sarily the actual voltage at the welding arc (due to cable  
resistance, poor connections, etc.). The ammeter will  
indicate the amperage output of the unit.  
A. Basic And Pulser Models Only  
When in the ON position, high frequency will be present  
at the welding electrode when the fingertip control  
(RCC-14) is closed. The high frequency unit will remain  
energized until an arc is established, at which point it will  
deenergize. If an arc outage occurs, high frequency will  
automatically be present until a new arc is established.  
4-9. PULSER SWITCH (Pulser Models Only)  
(Figure 4-1)  
The PULSES switch governs the operation of the pulse  
unit. By placing the PULSES switch in the ON position,  
the welding power source output amperage will pulse  
between the background amperage level and the peak  
amperage level. By placing the PULSES switch in the  
OFF position, the welding power source output will not  
pulse, but rather remain at the peak amperage level.  
B. Electroslope Models Only  
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill; UN-  
EXPECTED HIGH FREQUENCY DURING  
PREFLOW can cause serious injury and  
equipment damage.  
Do not allow electroslope switch or other unit  
control switch to be maintained closed during  
preflow time.  
The PULSES switch may be placed in either the ON or  
OFF position prior to or during the welding operations. If  
the PULSES switch is placed in the ON position prior to  
welding operations, the output amperage may be at ei-  
ther the peak or background amperage level. If the  
PULSES switch is placed in the ON position during weld  
operations, the pulsing begins with the output amperage  
remaining at the peak amperage level, then pulsing to  
the background amperage level.  
Always close and immediately open control  
switch to ensure that high frequency will not be  
present during preflow.  
If the unit is equipped with the optional electro-  
slope and preflow timer, it is possible to have  
high frequency present during preflow without  
machine contactor energized.  
There is no interaction between the BACKGROUND  
control, PULSES/SECOND control, % ON TIMEcon-  
trol, or the PULSES switch and any of the other controls.  
When in the ON position, high frequency will be present  
at the welding electrode when the momentary-contact

TIVE or ELECTRODE POSITIVE position.  
age. The PULSES/SECOND control is operational only  
when the PULSES switch is in the ON position.  
Rotating the PULSES/SECOND control in a clockwise  
direction increases the pulse frequency.  
When remote control of the output amperage is  
employed, only the peak amperage level is remotely  
controlled; the background amperage level is still estab-  
lished by the position of the BACKGROUND control.  
The scale surrounding the PULSES/SECOND control is  
calibrated in pulses per second to aid in the selection of  
a pulse frequency suitable for the application.

4-12. BACKGROUND CONTROL (Pulser Models  
Only) (Figure 4-1)  
The % ON TIMEcontrol provides pulse width selection  
of the welding power source output amperage. The %  
ON TIMEcontrol is operational only when the  
PULSES switch is in the ON position.  
BACKGROUND  
The BACKGROUND and AMPERAGE ADJUSTMENT  
control provide amperage selection within the welding  
power source output amperage range being used. The  
setting of the background control establishes the back-  
ground level from which the output amperage travels to  
the pulse level established by the setting of the AMPER-  
AGE ADJUSTMENT control. When the AMPERAGE  
ADJUSTMENT control is adjusted to a setting above the  
BACKGROUND control, there will be positive pulse  
peaking from the background reference level. This unit  
does not have negative pulsing capability. The back-  
ground amperage is always a percentage of the peak  
amperage. If the peak amperage is adjusted (by means  
of the AMPERAGE ADJUSTMENT control), the back-  
ground amperage will always vary with it according to  
the percentage setting of the BACKGROUND control.  
The background amperage can never be higher than  
the peak amperage. Rotating the AMPERAGE AD-  
JUSTMENT control and BACKGROUND control in a  
clockwise direction increases the output amperage.  
Rotating the % ON TIMEcontrol in a clockwise direc-  
tion increases the peak amperage on-timerelative to  
the entire pulse time; the balance of the time is back-  
ground amperage. Hence, this control establishes the  
peak amperage pulse width relative to the entire pulse  
width.  
The scale surrounding the % ON TIMEcontrol is cali-  
brated in percent and does not indicate an actual time  
value.  
IMPORTANT: This control may be adjusted while  
welding.

ELECTROSLOPE 9  
Adjust the PERCENTAGE INITIAL AMPERAGE control  
for the approximate starting amperage desired. This  
control is not linear and its settings represent a percent-  
age of the AMPERAGE ADJUSTMENT control value in  
use and not an actual amperage reading. Adjustment of  
the PERCENTAGE INITIAL AMPERAGE control will  
vary the amperage from minimum of the amperage  
range used to the setting of the AMPERAGE ADJUST-  
MENT control in the TIG-Unit. For example: If the  
Range Switch setting has a amperage range of 100 to  
500 amperes and the AMPERAGE ADJUSTMENT con-  
trol on the TIGUnit is set for 300 amperes, the setting of  
the PERCENTAGE INITIAL AMPERAGE control on the  
Electroslope will then determine the initial amperage be-  
tween 100 and 300 amperes. If the PERCENTAGE INI-  
TIAL AMPERAGE control is set at 50, initial amperage  
will be approximately 200 amperes and will remain at  
this amperage until the Upslope is energized. The initial  
amperage can never be higher than the weld amperage  
provided by the TIG-Unit.  
The Electroslope in this unit allows the operator (by  
means of the momentary-contact switch, RMLS-14) to  
manually select the welding condition and the duration  
of that condition. The welding conditions that the Elec-  
troslope provides are PERCENTAGE INITIAL AMPER-  
AGE, PERCENTAGE UPSLOPE RATE, PERCENT-  
AGE DOWNSLOPE RATE, and PERCENTAGE FINAL  
AMPERAGE. Additionally, adjustment of each condition  
is provided by means of a control on the front panel of  
the Electroslope.  
IMPORTANT:  
A
momentary-contact type switch  
(RMLS-14) is supplied with each unit equipped with an  
Electroslope, It is necessary to press the switch each  
time a new or different weld condition is desired. This  
switch allows the operator to manually control the selec-  
tion of the welding condition and the duration of that con-  
dition. It further gives the operator the capability of mov-  
ing rapidly from one condition to the next, if desired.  
Anytime that the arc is broken (except during the initial  
condition), the Electroslope will automatically reset to  
Off. During the initial condition resetting to Off is accom-  
plished manually by pushing the switch once, provided  
that an arc has not been established. (For further expla-  
nation of this switch, see Section 4-5).

The PERCENTAGE UPSLOPE RATE control is cali-  
brated in percent and can be adjusted for an upslope  
rate of approximately .25 (FAST) to 20 (SLOW) sec-  
onds. With the control set at minimum, initial amperage  
will rise immediately to the amperage setting of the TIG-  
Unit AMPERAGE ADJUSTMENT control. When the  
PERCENTAGE UPSLOPE RATE control is set at 50, it  
takes approximately 10 seconds for initial amperage to  
reach welding amperage provided that the difference  
between initial amperage and weld amperage is great  
enough. By increasing the control setting to 100, the  
upslope rate will be approximately 20 seconds.  
The Electroslope switch provides two positions: ON  
and OFF.  
When the Electroslope switch is in the OFF position, the  
Electroslope will be bypassed or out of the welding pow-  
er source control circuit. When the Electroslope switch  
is in the ON position, the Electroslope will be connected  
into the welding power source control circuit.  
Ensure that the AMPERAGE switch on the TIG-Unit is in  
the PANEL position whenever the Electroslope is to be  
utilized. The AMPERAGE ADJUSTMENT control on  
the TIG-Unit has complete control of the amperage at  
this point.  
IMPORTANT: This control may be adjusted while

whenever the contactor is opened.  
The PERCENTAGE DOWNSLOPE RATE control is

WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill; UN-  
EXPECTED HIGH FREQUENCY DURING  
PREFLOW can cause serious injury and  
equipment damage.  
Do not allow electroslope switch or other unit  
control switch to be maintained closed during  
preflow time.  
When spot welding is desired, the SPOT TIME switch  
must be placed in the ON position. Conversely, by plac-  
ing the SPOT TIME switch in the OFF position, spot  
welding is not available, despite the position of the  
SPOT TIME control.  
The spot weld timer begins to time out as soon as an arc  
is initiated. When the time set on the SPOT TIME control  
has elapsed, weld output is cut off and the postflow timer  
starts.  
Always close and immediately open control  
switch to ensure that high frequency will not be  
present during preflow.  
If the unit is equipped with the optional electro-  
slope and preflow timer, it is possible to have  
high frequency present during preflow without  
machine contactor energized.  
Upon closure of the remote contactor control switch, the  
operator may proceed with establishing an arc provided  
that the preflow timer, if applicable, has timed out. As

soon as an arc is struck, the spot weld timer begins tim-  
ing out. The remote contactor control switch must re-  
main closed throughout the entire spot welding time in-  
terval. If the remote contactor control switch is released  
prior to the completion of the spot weld cycle, spot weld  
output ceases and the spot weld timer will reset for the  
next cycle. After completion of the spot weld cycle, the  
remote contactor control switch must be released to re-  
set the spot weld timer.  
Whenever the SPOT TIME switch is in the ON position,  
the AMPERAGE switch on the TIG-Unit can be placed  
in either the PANEL or REMOTE position to suit the de-  
sired application. However, the OUTPUT (CONTAC-  
TOR) switch on the welding power source must be in the  
REMOTE position.

locking line disconnect switch in open position,  
removing fuses from fuse box, or shutting off  
and red-tagging circuit breaker or other discon-  
necting device.  
IMPORTANT: Every six months inspect the labels on  
this unit for legibility. All precautionary labels must be  
maintained in a clearly readable state and replaced  
when necessary. See Parts List for part number of  
precautionary labels.  
MOVING PARTS can cause serious injury.  
Keep away from moving parts.

the tungsten will become contaminated.  
Shape tungsten electrodes on a fine grit, hard abrasive  
wheel used only for tungsten shaping. Grind tungsten  
electrodes so that grinding marks run lengthwise with  
the electrode. These procedures reduce the possibility  
of the tungsten electrode transferring foreign matter into  
the weld and help reduce arc wander.  
A. Weld Cables  
Every three months inspect cables for breaks in insula-  
tion. Repair or replace cables if insulation breaks are  
present. Clean and tighten connections at each inspec-  
tion.  
Grind the end of the tungsten electrode to a taper for a  
distance of 2 to 2-1/2 electrode diameters in length. For  
example, the ground surface for a 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) di-  
ameter tungsten electrode should be 1/4 to 5/16 in. (6.4  
to 8.0 mm) long.  
B. Internal Cleaning  
Every six months blow out or vacuum dust and dirt from  
the inside of the unit. Remove the outer enclosure, and  
use a clean, dry airstream or vacuum suction for the  
cleaning operation. If dusty or dirty conditions are pre-  
sent, clean the unit monthly.

6-3. SPARK GAP ADJUSTMENT (Figure 6-3)  
IMPORTANT: Spark gaps widen with normal operation.  
At regular inspections, check and maintain the spark air  
gap to ensure consistent welding results and com-  
pliance with FCC radiation regulations.  
It is necessary to readjust the spark gaps every three to  
four months or when intermittent operation occurs. Nor-  
mal spark gap setting is 0.008 in. (0.203 mm).  
IMPORTANT: Do not clean or dress points since the  
material at the tips is tungsten and impossible to file.  
The entire point should be replaced when the tungsten  
section has completely disappeared.  
High-frequency output varies with the spark gap setting.  
When a great amount of high frequency is necessary,  
the spark gaps can be adjusted to 0.010 in. (0.254 mm).  
This, however, increases high-frequency radiation  
which increases interference with communications  
equipment. It is suggested that a minimum spark gap  
setting be used.  
This unit is provided with a spark gap assembly located  
inside the unit in the lower right side (refer to Parts List  
views). To adjust spark gaps, proceed as follows:

SECTION 8 CERTIFICATION FOR HIGH FREQUENCY ARC WELDING EQUIPMENT  
8-1. GENERAL  
8-2. DEFINITIONS  
A. High-Frequency Assisted Arc Welding Power  
Sources  
The following information is necessary to make a proper  
installation of the high-frequency arc welding equipment  
described in this instruction manual. In order to comply  
with Part 18 of the Rules and Regulations of the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC), the certificate in  
the front of this manual must be filled in completely and  
signed after the unit has been correctly installed. The  
certificate must be kept WITH THE EQUIPMENT AT  
ALL TIMES to comply with the regulation. The manu-  
facturer of the equipment covered herein has conducted  
approved field tests and certifies that the radiation can  
be expected to be within the legal limits if the correct in-  
stallation procedures, as outlined, are followed. The im-  
portance of a correct installation cannot be overempha-  
sized since case histories of interference due to high-  
frequency stabilized arc welding equipment have shown  
that in most cases, an inadequate installation was at  
fault. In the event that interference with authorized FCC  
services occurs, the user is required to take suitable  
steps to clear the situation. The Factory Service Depart-  
ment personnel will assist the user by supplying techni-  
cal information.  
In the arc welding process, high frequency may be used  
for initiating an arc or stabilizing the arc once it is struck,  
or for both functions.  
The energy from the high-frequency source must flow to  
the welding electrode via a good quality, low impedance,  
and well insulated connecting cable.  
B. Welding Circuit  
The welding circuit consists of all attachments con-  
nected to the welding terminals.  
C. Welding Terminals  
Welding terminals are the terminals which provide weld-  
ing power and high-frequency energy to the arc.  
D. Electrode Terminal  
The electrode terminal is the terminal to which the elec-  
trode cable or welding torch is connected.  
E. Welding Torch  
A device used in the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)  
process to control the position of the electrode, to trans-  
fer current to the arc, and to direct the flow of shielding  
gas.  
Instead of complying with the installation requirements  
and the certification of each individual installation, the  
user may elect to certify the entire plant by having a  
qualified engineer make a plant radiation survey. In such  
cases, these instructions could serve as a guide in mini-  
mizing interference that might be caused by the high-  
frequency arc welding equipment.  
F. Work Terminal  
The work terminal is the terminal to which the welding  
workpiece is connected.  
G. Welding Zone  
The welding zone is the space within 50 ft. (15 m) in all  
directions from the midpoint between the power source  
and the welding arc (see Figure 8-6).  
Many processes and applications of processes require  
open-circuit voltages sufficient to jump from the elec-  
trode to the work without making direct contact. The  
maximum open-circuit voltage (OCV) of a welding  
power source is not sufficient for this. In the Submerged  
Arc Welding (SAW) process, granules of flux often get  
between the electrode and the workpiece making start-  
ing of the arc difficult at normal open-circuit voltages. A  
higher voltage is also required to start and maintain a  
stable arc in processes like the Gas Tungsten Arc Weld-  
ing (GTAW) process. In these cases it will take several  
thousand volts to cause an electrical spark to jump this  
gap between the electrode and the work, creating an in-  
itial path of ionization that the arc current can follow  
without the hazards that would be present at power fre-  
quency.  
H. Bonding  
Bonding refers to connecting metallic objects together  
to cause the objects to be at the same potential regard-  
less of any current flow between them (see Figure 8-3  
and Figure 8-4).  
I. Grounding (Earthing)  
Depending on the practices within jurisdictions, one of  
these terms is commonly used to indicate the connec-  
tion, or bonding, of parts of the apparatus to the  
earth.The terms may be used interchangeably.  
J. Receiver  
A receiver is any device normally used for receiving  
electromagnetic energy and converting it to useful com-  
munications purposes.  
In order to provide these higher voltages, it is common  
practice to superimpose a high open-circuit voltage on  
the output of a welding power source by using high-fre-  
quency techniques. The high-frequency voltage can be  
a source of interference and will be discussed in this  
section.  
K. Conduction  
Conduction is the transmission of high-frequency en-  
ergy via an electrical conductor or conducting medium.

L. High Frequency  
8-4. LOCATION  
Locate the high-frequency power source as close to the  
welding process as possible. Also consider the near-  
ness of a suitable ground connection when selecting a  
site for the installation of the power source. Ideally, the  
high-frequency power source should be located in an  
area where there is a limited amount of miscellaneous  
wiring (lighting, power, telephone, communications, and  
other unshielded conductors) located within the welding  
zone. Ungrounded, metallic conductors in the welding  
zone can act as antennas which will pick up, conduct, or  
reradiate the high-frequency energy transmitted by the  
welding circuit. All miscellaneous wiring in the welding  
zone should be enclosed in grounded, rigid metallic con-  
duit, copper braid, or some other material having an  
equivalent shielding efficiency, and grounded at 50 ft.  
(15 m) intervals (see Figure 8-1).  
High frequency is radio frequency energy, either con-  
tinuous or pulsed, used to start or stabilize a welding arc.  
M. High-Frequency Assisted Arc Welding  
High-frequency assisted arc welding refers to any of the  
arc welding processes requiring high frequency.  
N. Interference  
Interference is the unwanted and problematic reception  
of high-frequency energy.  
O. Radiation  
Radiation is the transmission of high-frequency energy  
through space.  
8-3. HIGH-FREQUENCY RADIATION  
Shielded Wire  
Installations using high frequency, either as an integral  
part of the power source or as an accessory unit, will  
produce some high-frequency radiation. Such radiation,  
if the signal strength is sufficient at the receiving device,  
can cause an inconvenience or disruption of communi-  
cations or can cause malfunction in sensitive electronic  
controls and systems. The four major causes of high-  
frequency radiation are as follows:

Ground At 50ft.  
(15 m) Intervals  
50 ft.  
(15 m)  
A. Direct Radiation From The Power Source Or  
High-Frequency Accessory Unit  
Work Clamp  
Direct radiation is that radiation emanating directly from  
the power source or accessory unit. Radiation from the  
power line and welding power source accessories is not  
considered to be direct radiation from the power source  
or accessory unit.

Keep all unshielded and ungrounded

B. Direct Radiation From The Welding Circuit  
Figure 8-1. Requirements To Minimize Reradia-  
tion Pickup In The Vicinity Of The Welding Zone  
Any attachment to the output terminals of the high-fre-  
quency source is capable of acting as an antenna and  
radiating high-frequency energy. Attachments include  
weld cables, torches, worktables, etc. Since direct ra-  
diation from the welding circuit is the major source of ra-  
diation, it is important to keep attachments to a mini-  
mum.  
8-5. GENERAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURES  
A. Weld Cables  
Keep the weld cables as short as possible and do not  
exceed 25 ft. (8 m) in length. Position the cables as  
close together and as close to the floor or ground plane  
as possible.  
C. Conduction And Radiation From The Power  
Line  
If the welding operation must be carried out at a point  
farther than 25 ft. (8 m) from the welding power source,  
use a portable high-frequency source and locate the  
portable unit within 25 ft. (8 m) of the welding electrode.  
Most power lines are capable of conducting high-fre-  
quency energy which may cause interference directly or  
by reradiation from these power lines. Normally such ra-  
diation is small when compared to that caused by radia-  
tion from the weld cables.  
B. High-Frequency Assisted Arc Welding Power  
Sources  
When the high-frequency assisted arc welding power  
source is in operation, all service doors and covers must  
be closed, securely fastened, and adequately bonded to  
ensure good contact around the entire perimeter of the  
opening. Except for changes and adjustments allowed  
by the manufacturer, the high-frequency assisted arc  
welding power source should not be modified.  
D. Reradiation  
Radiation from the welding circuit can be picked up by  
ungrounded metal objects or unshielded wiring in the  
immediate vicinity, conducted some distance, and  
reradiated. This can be a troublesome source of inter-  
ference.

Place leads on floor or on boards  
and keep 3/4 in. (19 mm)  
to 1 in. (25 mm) apart.

High-Frequency  
Welding Power Source  
However, when the high-frequency power source is in-  
stalled within a metal building, precautions must be  
taken to be sure that the building is properly bonded and  
grounded (earthed). This can be accomplished by plac-  
ing several good electrical ground rods around the pe-  
riphery of the building. During the construction of a new  
building of any type having metal in the structure, be  
sure that all the reinforcing and structural steel is  
bonded together (as by welding each piece of metal to  
all other adjacent pieces). For metal buildings, adjacent  
metal panels should be bolted or welded together at fre-  
quent intervals.All windows and doorways should be  
covered with grounded copper screen or galvanized  
hardware cloth of not more than 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) mesh.

C. Grounding (Earthing) The Weld Cables  
E. Shielding Of Miscellaneous Wiring In The Weld-  
ing Zone  
Be sure that the enclosure of the high-frequency power  
source is firmly grounded to the WORK terminal. If the  
high-frequency power source is not labeled as being in-  
ternally high-frequency grounded, then this ground  
must be made by grounding the enclosure to the WORK  
terminal with No. 12 AWG gauge or smaller wire. Con-  
nect the ground wire to a driven ground rod or to a water  
pipe which enters the earth within 10 ft. (3 m) of the high-  
frequency power source.  
Ungrounded, metallic conductors in the welding zone  
can act as antennas which will pick up, conduct, and/or  
reradiate the high-frequency energy transmitted by the  
welding circuit located within or near the welding zone.  
This means that all ungrounded water pipes must be  
grounded, and that all lighting, power, telephone, com-  
munications, and other conductors within the welding  
zone must be enclosed in grounded, rigid metallic con-  
duit, copper braid, or some other material having an  
equivalent shielding capability (spirally wound, flexible,  
metallic conduit is not suitable). Shielding of the miscel-  
laneous wiring in the welding zone must be grounded at  
50 ft. (15 m) intervals. Excellent low resistance electrical  
connections must be maintained between conduit sec-  
tions (see Figure 8-4).  
D. Metal Buildings  
Installation of a high-frequency power source within a  
suitably bonded and grounded (earthed) metal building  
can be an effective means of reducing high-frequency  
radiation. Wherever possible, install high-frequency  
power sources in such places.

The high-frequency power source should be connected  
to the line input power supply as instructed in this man-  
ual. If the unit is equipped with a power cord, the supply  
conductors serving the high-frequency power source  
should be completely enclosed in solid metallic conduit,  
or in equivalent shielding, up to the point of connection  
with the power cord. The solid, metallic conduit, or  
equivalent shielding, should extend the entire distance  
from the power entrance location in the building to the  
high-frequency power source. Shielding should be elec-  
trically continuous throughout its length and should be

connected so that good electrical contact is provided be-  
tween the shield and the high-frequency power source.

10. Use driven ground rods which enter the ground  
10 ft. (3 m) or less from the ground connection, or  
cold water pipes, as the ground for the high-fre-  
quency welding power source.  
3. Be sure that there is good electrical contact made at  
the enclosure of the high-frequency welding power  
source, through the conduit, and back to the service  
box. Be sure that the conduit system is continuous  
to a point at least 50 ft. (15 m) from the equipment,  
and that the conduit system is one complete run  
within the high-frequency zone. If rigid, metallic con-  
duit is not used, be sure that the shielding used has  
equivalent shielding efficiency. Copper sleeving,  
lead covered cable, or the equivalent, is satisfac-  
tory. Spirally wound, flexible, metallic conduit is not  
suitable.  
11. Be sure that all ground connections are clean and  
tight.  
12. If the high-frequency welding power source is oper-  
ated within a metal building, be sure that the building  
is properly grounded.  
8-7. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES CHECKLIST  
All items may not be necessary or practical for each in-  
stallation. Complete the necessary items to eliminate in-  
terference with authorized FCC services.  
4. Keep WORK and ELECTRODE cables as short  
and straight as possible.  
1. Is equipment properly located?  
5. Keep weld cables to a maximum length of 25 ft. (8  
m).  
(See Sections 8-4, 8-5D, 8-5E, 8-6.1, and 8-6.9.)  
2. Are ac input power connections properly made?  
(See Sections 8-5B, 8-6.2, and 8-6.3.)  
6. Keep weld cables as close together and as close to  
the ground plane as possible.  
3. Are weld cables and equipment properly installed?

8-6.12.)  
8. Secure all service and access doors before operat-  
ing.  
9. Visualize the welding zone as a sphere with a 50 ft.  
(15 m) radius centered on a point between the  
power source and the electrode holder (see  
Figure 8-6), and proceed as follows:  
5. Is equipment properly set up and adjusted?

Before welding, the highest current  
setting required is set at the power  
source. To change current, the  
operator replaces the welding  
electrode in the holder with the  
AMPSET control and moves the  
indicator on the control to the  
desired higher or lower setting.  
The control is then touched to the  
workpiece for a few seconds and  
the current is reset. Reinsert the  
electrode, and weld at the new  
setting.  
Fastens to TIG torch handle using  
two Velcro strips. The control  
allows complete current and  
contactor control at the operators  
fingertips a practical alternative  
to a foot control. Includes 28 ft.  
(8.5 m) control cord with 14pin  
plug.
