WARNING
Mar ‘95
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS may be dangerous
2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding machines
2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician before welding.
2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health effects which are now not known.
2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
2.d.1.
Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure them with tape when possible.
2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.
2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and
work cables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the work cable should also be on your right side.
2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded.
2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.
1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the radiator pressure cap when the engine is hot.

ARC RAYS can burn.
4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.
4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays.
4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free
gloves to insulate hands.
3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation. Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and ground.
In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding must be performed under electrically hazardous conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use the following equipment:
• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.
• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.
• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.
3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode, electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding gun are also electrically “hot”.
3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical connection with the metal being welded. The connection should be as close as possible to the area being welded.
3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical (earth) ground.
3.f.
Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace damaged insulation.
3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage of both welders.
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous.
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases.When welding, keep your head out of the fume. Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When
welding with electrodes which require special ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV) using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may be required. Additional precautions are also required when welding on galvanized steel.
5.b.
Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon
vapors
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors
to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.
5.c. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and
cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
5.d. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your employer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available from your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.
5.e. Also see item 1.b.

FOR ELECTRICALLY powered equipment.
8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect switch at the fuse box before working on the equipment.
8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
CYLINDER may explode if damaged.
7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and
pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in good condition.
7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.
7.c. Cylinders should be located:
• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to
physical damage.
• A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and
any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use.
7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l, “Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

Mar ‘95
WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion.
6.a.
Remove fire hazards from the welding area.
If this is not possible, cover them to prevent
the welding sparks from starting a fire.
Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the equipment being used.
6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside. They can cause an explosion even
though
they have been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended Safe Practices for the
Preparation
for Welding and Cutting of Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society
(see address above).
6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may explode.
6.f.
Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.
6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical. Work cables connected to the building framework or other locations away from the welding area increase the possibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate cir­cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ
Pour
votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suiv­antes:
Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:
a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tension
quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans trous pour isoler les mains.
b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand on
soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.
c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble
de soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état defonctionnement.
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour le
refroidir.
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension
des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le total de la tension à vide des deux machines.
f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de
courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions pour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de soudage.
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais enrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partie du corps.
3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel, donc:
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié
ainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray­onnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ou quand on regarde l’arc.
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la
peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de l‘arc.
c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité au
soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc de soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres de l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan­talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les
zones où l’on pique le laitier.
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de prévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.
7. Quand on ne soud
e pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un échauffement et un risque d’incendie.
8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible de la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on place la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev­age, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer des risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et des câbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.
9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage. Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui produit des fumeés toxiques.
10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant d’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La chaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique) ou autres produits irritants.
11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté, voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA Standard W 117.2-1974.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR LES MACHINES À SOUDER À TRANSFORMATEUR ET À REDRESSEUR
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une bonne mise à la terre.
2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seront effectués par un électricien qualifié.
3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debranch­er à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur place.

PARALLEL OPERATION
The EX350i are operable in parallel in CC mode. For best results, the currents of each machine should be reasonably well shared. As an example, with two machines set up in parallel for a 400 amp procedure, each machine should be set to deliver approximately 200 amps, not 300 amps from one and 100 amps from the other. This will minimize nuisance shutdown conditions. In general, more than two machines in parallel will not be effective due to the voltage require­ments of procedures in that power range. To set machine outputs, start with output control pots and arc control pots in identical positions. Use the output control pots to balance the currents and main­tain the desired voltage or current. The arc control pots should be kept identical on the two machines.

WARNING
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Invertec EX350i offers multi-process CV, CC, and DC welding and is rated 350 amps, 34 volts at a 60% duty cycle.
DUTY CYCLE
The EX350i is rated at 350 amps, 60% duty cycle (based on a 10 minute cycle). It is also rated at 300 amps, 100% duty cycle.
OPERATIONAL FEATURES and CONTROLS:
UPPER CONTROL PANEL
1. AMPS Meter
Prior to STICK or TIG operation (current flow), the meter displays preset current value (either 2 amps or +/- 3% (e.g. 3 amps on 100), whichever is greater).
Prior to CV operation, the meter displays four dash­es indicating non-presettable AMPS.
During welding, this meter displays actual average amps.
After welding, the meter holds the actual current value for 5 seconds. Output adjustment while in the "hold" period results in the "prior to operation" char­acteristics stated above. The displays blink indicat­ing that the machine is in the "Hold" period.
2. VOLT METER
Prior to CV operation (current flow), the meter dis­plays desired preset voltage value (+/- .5V).
Prior to STICK or TIG operation, the meter displays the Open Circuit Voltage of the Power Source or four dashes if the output has not been turned on.
During welding, this meter displays actual average volts.
After welding, the meter holds the actual voltage value for 5 seconds. The displays blink indicating that the machine is in the "Hold" period.
Output adjustment while in the "hold" period results in the "prior to operation" characteristics stated above.
3. OUTPUT CONTROL
Output control is conducted via a single turn poten­tiometer.
Adjustment is indicated by the meters as stated above.
When in TIG modes, this control sets the maximum welding current. Full depression of a foot or hand Amptrol results in the preset level of current.
4. WELD TERMINALS-REMOTE / ON
Two status lights indicate the location of trigger con­trol as determined by the "WELD TERMINALS" push button.
If trigger control is local "weld terminals on", the ON display will be lit.
If trigger control is remote "weld terminals remotely controlled", the REMOTE display will be lit.
The unit will power up in "pre-determined preferred" trigger modes.
STICK = ON CV = REMOTE TIG = REMOTE if remote output controls are attached to the machine. TIG = 0N if remote output controls are not attached to the machine. For all versions, these trigger modes can be over-ridden (switched) with the WELD TERMINALS push button. When changed, the unit will power up in the configuration it was in when it was last powered down.

5.
THERMAL
This status light indicates when the power source has been driven into thermal overload. If the output terminals were "ON", the "ON" light will blink indicating that the out­put will be turned back on once the unit cools down to an acceptable temperature level. If the unit was operating in the "REMOTE" mode, the trigger will need to be opened before or after the thermal has cleared and closed after the machine has cooled down to an acceptable tempera­ture to establish output.
6.
CONTROL-REMOTE / LOCAL
Two status lights indicate the location of output control as pre-determined by the power sources auto-configure sys­tem.
The LOCAL display will be lit when control is at the power source.
The REMOTE display will be lit when a remote pot/control is detected.
These Output Control configurations can be overridden (switched) with the CONTROL push button. When changed, the unit will power up in the configuration it was in when it was last powered down.
Hidden Middle Control Panel – Process Set Up Panel
7. WELD MODE SELECT -
The Mode Control button selects from the following welding modes.
CC-STICK SOFT: The Stick Soft process features continuous control ranging from 5 to 425 amps. This mode was intended for most SMAW applications, and Arc Gouging.
Arc Gouging: Setting the output of the Stick Soft mode to 425 amps will enable the arc-gouging mode. The actual output current will depend on the size of carbon used. The recommended maximum size carbon is 5/16".
The Hot Start control regulates the starting current at arc initiation. Hot Start can be adjusted from min­imum (0), with no additional current added at arc start, to maximum (10), with double the preset cur­rent or 425 amps (max of machine) added for the first second after arc initiation.
The Arc Control regulates the Arc Force to adjust the short circuit current. The minimum setting (-10) will produce a "soft" arc and will produce minimal spatter. The maximum setting (+10) will produce a "crisp" arc and will minimize electrode sticking.
CC-STICK CRISP:The Stick Crisp mode features continuous control from 5 to 425 amps. This mode was intended primarily for pipe welding applications.
The Hot Start control regulates the starting current at arc initiation. Hot Start can adjust starting current up or down by 25% of the preset value. The recom­mended setting for Hot Start is 5 where the initial current is equal to the preset current.
The Arc Control regulates the Arc Force to adjust the short circuit current. The minimum setting (-10) will produce a "soft" arc and will produce minimal spatter. The maximum setting (+10) will produce a "crisp" arc and will minimize electrode sticking.

OPERATION

TIG GTAW: The TIG mode features continuous con-
trol from 5 to 425 amps. The TIG mode can be run in either the TIG touch start or high frequency (optional equipment required) assisted start mode.
The Hot Start control selects the starting mode desired. A setting of less than 5, the TIG lift start mode is selected. The OCV is controlled below 10v and the short circuit "TIG touch" current is main­tained at 25 amps independent of the preset cur­rent.
When the tungsten is lifted, an arc is initiated and the output is regulated at the preset value. Hot start settings between 0 and 5 regulate the arc initiation current. A setting of 5 results in the most positive arc initiation. A setting of 0 reduces hot start.
Hot Start settings between 5 and 10, select high frequency assisted starting TIG mode. In this range, the OCV of the machine is controlled between 50 and 70 volts. If using the Lincoln K930­1 TIG Module, set the Hot start to 10 for maximum OCV.
The Arc Control is not used in the TIG mode.
TIG SOLENOID OPTION
The Solenoid only operates when th V350 is in the TIG mode. If the Weld Terminals are in Remote then the solenoid will open when the arc start switch is closed. The solenoid will close after the arc switch has been opened and the post flow time expired.
If the Weld Terminals are turned ON, then the sole­noid will open when the electrode is touch to the work. The electrode needs to remain in contact with the work to allow for gas coverage before attempting to start the arc. The solenoid will close after the arc has been broken and the post flow time expired.
CV-WIRE: The CV-WIRE mode features continuous control from 10 to 40 volts. The mode was intended for most GMAW, FCAW, and MCAW applications.
The Hot Start control is not used in the CV-WIRE mode.
The Arc Control regulates pinch effect. At the mini­mum setting (-10), minimizes pinch and results in a soft arc. Low pinch settings are preferable for weld­ing with gas mixes containing mostly inert gases. At the maximum setting (+10), maximizes pinch effect and results in a crisp arc. High pinch settings are preferable for welding FCAW and GMAW with CO2.
CV-INNERSHIELD: The CV-INNERSHIELD mode features continuous control from 10 to 45 volts. This mode was designed for self-shielded flux cored wires that require tight voltage control.
EX350i
The Hot Start control is not used in the CV-FLUX CORED mode.
The Arc Control regulates pinch effect. At the mini­mum setting (-10), minimizes pinch and results in a soft arc. At the maximum setting (+10), maximizes pinch effect and results in a crisp arc. Most self­shielded wires work well at an Arc Control setting of 5.

7. To save a second welding mode to a memory posi-
tion of your choice, turn the Select knob until the desired welding process mode is displayed in right digital window. Then follow steps 1 thru 6.
8. Adjust the output control to the correct wire feed
setting and the EX350i is ready to weld again. (Note: The wire feed speed setting is not stored in memory and will need to be reset.)
9. Adjust the Arc Control and note that the M1 goes
away indicating that the EX350i settings no longer match what is stored in memory. Going back to the original settings will not bring the M1 back. You will need to push the Memory button to recall the origi­nal settings in M1.
Note: After all memorys M1 thru M8 are used and the welder needs to store another welding process, a new welding process will overwrite what was originally in the memory and will read,

WELD MODE DETAILS:
EX350i
Mode Range Comments
Stick Soft 5 - 425 amps The stick soft mode is the best selection for general stick
applications. Arc Control = Arc Force Hot Start = Initial hot start current (min = start a match set amps, Max. =
greatest hot start current) During hot start, arc force is set at high and is fast response.
For gouging applications: Turn current up to 425 amps.
Stick Crisp 5 - 425 amps The stick crisp mode features an aggressive arc force routine well suit-
ed for Exx10, Exx11 series electrodes. Arc Control = Arc Force Hot Start = Initial hot start current (Mid range = welding current and will
vary up and down with knob control.) During hot start, arc force is set at high and is fast response.
For gouging applications: Turn current up to 425 amps.
GTAW (Tig mode) 5 - 425 amps The tig mode produces a soft, steady constant current waveform for
either touch start or high frequency assisted start DC GTAW applica­tions. Hot Start = Min to Mid range = Touch start with low OCV Mid to Max range = High frequency assisted starting with adjustable OCV up to 70 volts.
GMAW - CV 10 - 45 volts The GMAW - CV mode is the best selection for general MIG welding,
Metal core, and gas shielded applications. Arc Control = Pinch (Min = min pinch, softest arc),
(Max = max pinch, crispest arc)
FCAW-SS 10 - 45 volts The FCAW-SS mode is designed for Self Shielded Innershield products
that require tight voltage control. For example; the NR 203 series or NR
207) Arc Control = Pinch (Min = min pinch, softest arc),
(Max = max pinch, crispest arc, )
ADVANCED PULSE PANEL WELDING PROGRAMS
Gouging 60 - 425 amps The gouging mode is a low power version of other Lincoln welding
equipment gouging programs, for example a Power Wave 455.
GMAW - Power 1 - 18 (No Units) The GMAW - Power mode features good stable short arc performance
when welding small diameter (.025 and .030 steel & stainless) wires at low procedures. This mode also performs well welding aluminum in the spray mode.
This mode does not allow preset voltage. In the short arc GMAW mode, the set KW will not equal the actual Volts * Amps. The set power is reg­ulated only when an arc is present. During shorting, the output is allowed to increase to clear the short.

COMMENTS
The EX350i pulse programs are non-synergic and allow indepen­dent control of the wire feed speed and the arc length. The Output Control Knob on the EX350i, adjusts an "SPD" value. Similar to trim, the "SPD" value indicates the relative arc length setting. The value of "SPD" is meant to be a starting point at which to set the arc length relative to the wire feed speed. Depending on the appli­cation, the "SPD" value can be adjusted to obtain the desired arc length.
The "SPD" value displayed on the EX350i may not match the actual wire feed speed!
The operation of the Arc Control knob on the EX350i is similar to the Power Wave series. As Arc Control is increased, the frequency is increased and the background reduced. Decreasing Arc Control will reduce frequency and increase background current. Arc Control acts to fine tune the arc plasma to the specific application. Preferred gas selections:
Steel Argon Blends = Argon with CO2 additions from 2 to 20 % or Oxygen additions from 2 to 5%.
Stainless Argon Blends = Argon with Oxygen additions up to 2%
Stainless Argon Blends = Argon with Oxygen additions up to 2%.
Stainless He Ar CO2 = ~ 90% Helium, 7 1/2 % Argon 2 1/2 CO2 Aluminum 100% Argon
The Nickel Alloy pulse programs are non adaptive. The operator sets the output control knob to deliver the correct arc length at desired wire feed speed and stick out. While welding, the operator manipulates the stick out to maintain the correct arc length. This method of operation produces very stable arc performance consid­ering the nature of nickel alloys.
Preferred gas: Argon/Helium Blends = for the best results add helium to the argon base from 0-25%.
.035 4043 (4x Pulse on Pulse) 120 - 600 3/64 4043 (4x Pulse on Pulse) 85 - 400 .035 5356 (5x Pulse on Pulse) 130 - 700 3/64 5356 (5x Pulse on Pulse) 100 - 550
Arc Control = Pulse on Pulse frequency. For faster travel speed welds, the arc control should be increased. For larger puddle, slower travel speeds, the arc control should be decreased.

LN-10/DH-10 Wire Feeder Compatibility Note:
The LN-10 and DH-10 feeders can be used to pulse weld and in the power mode with the panel. The dis­plays on the LN-10 & DH-10 do not show the wire feed speed or power.
8. HOT START and ARC CONTROL features have different functions depending on the welding Mode that is active. Each feature is described under the welding mode heading. (See Item 7 or 7.A for speci-
fied Mode Operations) (See Figure 1 or 2) LOWER CASE PANEL (See Figure 1)
The output studs, line switch and remote connector are located on the lower case front.
9. Both STUDS contain "Twist-Mate" connector
inserts.
The Negative stud is configured to accept the pass through gas system.
10. The ON-OFF switch is a 3-phase circuit breaker
rated at 100 amps per leg.
11. The METER POLARITY switch is located above
the output connectors. The switch provides a work connection for wire feeder voltmeters. Place the switch in the position of the electrode polarity indi­cated by the decal. The switch does not change
the welding polarity.
12. 3-PIN AMPENOL for remote control. REMOTE CONTROL of the OUTPUT CONTROL and WELD TERMINALS
The EX350i has auto sensing of remote output con­trols.If after connecting or removing a remote, the EX350i is not configured the way you would like the local or remote control settings can be changed by pushing the OUTPUT CONTROL or WELD TERMI­NAL button. (A user cannot select between the 3 and 14 pin amphenols.)
CV modes
The remote will default to the 14-pin amphenol remote if a remote is connected to either of the 14­pin amphenols and the 3-pin amphenol. Note: Only one of the 14-pin amphenols can have a remote control connected at a time. If no remote is connect­ed to either of the 14-pin amphenols then the remote will default to the 3-pin amphenol if a remote is connected to it.
If a remote control is connected or is not connect- ed to any of the amphenols the WELD TERMINAL
control will default to REMOTE.
TIG mode
The remote will default to the 3-pin amphenol if a remote control is connected to the 3-pin amphenol and one of the 14-pin amphenols. If a remote is not connected to the 3-pin amphenol then the remote will default to the 14-pin amphenols if a remote is connected to one of the 14-pin amphenols.
If a remote control is connected to any of the amphenols the WELD TERMINAL control will default to REMOTE. If there are not any remote control devices attached the WELD TERMINAL con­trol will default to ON.
CC-Stick modes
The remote will default to only the 3-pin amphenol if a remote is connected to it.
The WELD TERMINAL control will default to ON with or without a remote connected.
Types of Remote OUTPUT CONTROL
The EX350is Output Control can be controlled by either a potentiometer connected between 77 & 75 with the wiper connected to 76 or a 0V to 10V DC supply connected between 76 & 75. (76 needs to be positive)
14-Pin Amphenol lead 75 is pin G, lead 76 is pin F and lead 77 is pin E.
3-pin Amphenol lead 75 is pin A, lead 76 is pin B and lead 77 is pin C.
Potentiometer Control
The total resistance should be between 2000 ohms (2K) and 10,000 ohms (10K)
The machine output will be at minimum when lead 76 (wiper) is at the end of the potentiometer that is connected to 75. The machines output will increase as the wiper of the potentiometer is moved to the end that is connected to 77. (Note: In TIG mode, moving the lead 76 (wiper) to lead 77 would pro­duce the current that has been set by the EX350i’s front panel Output Control.)
Voltage Control
The supply should be an isolated supply. (Not refer­enced to earth ground, any auxiliary power from the EX350i or the welding output) The supply should be capable of supplying at least 20mA.
0 volts supplied to 76 will set the EX350i to mini­mum output for the mode that has been selected while 10 volts supplied to 76 will set the EX350i to the maximum output for the mode. (Note: In TIG mode, 10 volts supplied to lead 76 would produce the current that has been set by the EX350is front panel Output Control.)
Types of Remote WELD TERMINAL Control
The EX350is Weld Terminals can be controlled from each of the 14 pin amphenol connectors. The circuit has a nominal OCV of 15VDC and requires a dry contact closure (less than 100 ohms) to activate the output of the EX350i.
14 Pin Amphenols the Weld Terminals are controlled from pins C (lead 2) and pin D (lead 4). Pin C is posi­tive.

VISUAL INSPECTION
Clean interior of machine with a low pressure air stream. Make a thorough inspection of all compo­nents. Look for signs of overheating, broken leads or other obvious problems. Many problems can be uncovered with a good visual inspection.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
1. Every 6 months or so the machine should be cleaned with a low pressure airstream. Keeping the machine clean will result in cooler operation and higher reliability. Be sure to clean these areas:
All printed circuit boards
Power switch
Main transformer
Input rectifier
Auxiliary Transformer
Reconnect Switch Area
Fan (Blow air through the rear louvers)
2. Examine the sheet metal case for dents or breakage.
Repair the case as required. Keep the case in good con­dition to insure that high voltage parts are protected and correct spacings are maintained. All external sheet metal screws must be in place to insure case strength and electrical ground continuity.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Overload Protection
The machine is electrically protected from producing high output currents. Should the output current exceed 430A, an electronic protection circuit will reduce the current to approximately 100A. The machine will continue to produce this low current until the protection circuit is reset. Reset occurs when the output load is removed.
Thermal Protection
Thermostats protect the machine from excessive operating temperatures. Excessive temperatures may be caused by a lack of cooling air or operating the machine beyond the duty cycle and output rating. If excessive operating temperature should occur, the thermostat will prevent output voltage or current. The meter will remain energized during this time.
Thermostats are self-resetting once the machine cools sufficiently. If the thermostat shutdown was caused by excessive output or duty cycle and the fan is operating normally, the Power Switch may be left on and the reset should occur within a 15 minute period.
