“Set It/See It” Pulse Control — Make attractive and consistent welds!
What Is It?
Pulse welding systems vary weld current between peak (high heat) and background current (low heat) levels. Adjusting the pulse fre­quency controls the level of heat input applied to the weld relative to the weld travel speed.
Results
Better control of heat input in the weld, resulting in:
• Reduced warping and burnthrough on thin materials.
• Smaller heat-affected zone – good for thin material.
• Smaller bead profile without compromising proper penetration.

Thin materials – Faster pulse settings help to narrow the bead
profile and minimize the heat-affected zone and resulting warping or burnthrough.

Consistent appearance – Slower pulse settings aid in timing the
application of filler metal to produce the consistent stacked bead appearance associated with high quality TIG welding.

AC Auto Balance®Controls — Automatically sets the optimal cleaning vs. penetration level for aluminum welding!
What Is It?
When aluminum welding, the positive (+) portion of the AC welding amperage cleans the oxides from the aluminum surface. The neg­ative (-) portion delivers more heat input, increasing penetration level.
Patented AC Auto Balance®automatically sets the ratio of cleaning action (+) versus penetration (-) based on amperage.
Manual balance control provides the flexibility to customize the arc to your preference.

PERFORMANCE
• Excellent stick welding performance. — Weld steel, stainless and low allow metals with ease.
— Weld sheet metal, pipe and heavy plate. — Weld with Lincoln
Hydrogen and Fleetweld®5P welding electrodes.
• Wider output range — for maximum flexibility:
— 2-420A DC, 2-420 AC.
• More amperage than nearest competitor at 40% duty cycle — 25 amps more!
• Lower input current draw compared to nearest competitor — up to 10% less current with 40% more duty cycle.

QUALITY AND RELIABILITY
• Fan-As-Needed™ (F.A.N.) minimizes repeated heating and cooling of internal components, keeps dust and dirt build-up to a minimum and saves on electricity costs.
• Engineered cooling air routing brings clean air in from the top and exhausts at the bottom to draw and collect less dirt in the machine (see photo at right), unlike competitive systems with a vacuum cleaner-like floor intake.
• Compare these reliability enhancing design features: — Crimped and soldered power connections. — Wound and varnished electrical coils do not require coil spacers
to remain secure. Competitive models use wooden coil spacers that can loosen over time.
— Locking tabs on PC board connectors eliminates loose
connections.
• Tough testing cycles ensure long service — dropping, jerking, rolling, shipping, vibration, resistance to real world extreme conditions, and extended in-service life testing.
• Line Voltage Compensation holds output setting constant to maintain weld quality even when the input voltage fluctuates ±10%.
• CSA C/US certified.
• Lincoln three-year warranty on parts and labor. Two-year extended warranty available in the U.S.
