NOTE
If a Remote Hand Control is used for con-
tinuous current control, place the PANEL/
REMOTE switch in the PANEL POSITION
and set the Panel Current knob to the
maximum desired weld current. The re-
mote device will then control the current
between minimum and the maximum set-
ting preset (proportional current control).
Maximum Tig weld current is 525 amps.

NOTE
If the MP-460 PANEL/REMOTE switch
is left in the REMOTE position when Tig
welding while using a remote current
control device, the current range will
be full scale or 10 to 400 Amps.
Limiting the the maximum weld current
(proportional current control) using the
currnet control on the MP-460 front
panel is defeated.
NOTE
When using the MP-460 Pulse, the
STANDARD/PULSE switch must be in
the STANDARD position for proportional
current control using a TIG remote
current device.
SECTION 4 OPERATION
C. TIG WELDING
When the PROCESS switch is placed in the TIG position, the MultiPower 460
Pulse is automatically set for CC (constant current) welding using the ESAB
Touch TIG starting method. The voltage and current at the output terminals are
maintained at low values until the electrode is shorted to the workpiece.
Step 1. Be sure to set the polarity to DCEN (Electrode Negative) by connect-
ing the Tig torch to the negative terminal lug on the front of the power
source.
Step 2. Place the WELD PROCESS switch in the TIG position.
Step 3. Place the PANEL/REMOTE switch in the PANEL position.
Step 4. Place STANDARD/PULSE switch in the STANDARD position.
Step 5. While depressing the PRESET button, turn the VOLTAGE/CURRENT
knob to the desired weld current as displayed on the top digital dis-
play window.
Step 6. Set the shielding gas flow rate to 20 cfh by adjusting the control knob
on the flowmeter.
Step 7. Touch the tungsten electrode to the workpiece momentarily then lift 1/
16" off the workpiece to establish the welding arc. Trim the weld
current as desired by turning the VOLTAGE/CURRENT knob.
