3-3. Duty Cycle And Overheating Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 min- utes that unit can weld at rated load without overheating. If unit overheats, output stops, a Help message is displayed and cooling fan runs. Wait fifteen min- utes for unit to cool. Reduce amper- age or voltage, or duty cycle before welding.

4-5. Electrical Service Guide NOTICE − INCORRECT INPUT POWER can damage this welding power source. Phase to ground voltage shall not exceed +10% of rated input voltage. NOTICE − Actual input voltage should not be 10% less than minimum and/or 10% more than maximum input voltages listed in table. If actual input voltage is outside this range, output may not be be available.

4-6. Weld Output Receptacles And Selecting Cable Sizes NOTICE − The Total Cable Length in Weld Circuit (see table below) is the combined length of both weld cables. For example, if the power source is 100 ft (30 m) from the workpiece, the total cable length in the weld circuit is 200 ft (2 cables x 100 ft). Use the 200 ft (60 m) column to determine cable size.
