Figure 4-2 Standard Stick Setup Procedure
Be sure to set the polarity to DCEP (Electrode Positive) by placing the Electrode Holder cable in the Positive con-
nection lug on the front of the power source.
Place the WELD PROCESS switch in the STICK position.
Place the PANEL/REMOTE switch in the PANEL position.
Place STANDARD/MIG PULSE switch in the STANDARD position.
While holding the PRESET button, turn the VOLTAGE/CURRENT knob to the desired weld current displayed in the
top digital display window for the stick electrode type and size being used .
Strike the electrode on the workpiece and start welding. Trim the welding current as needed for the desired
weld pool control.

D. Stick Welding
When the PROCESS switch is placed in the STICK position, the MultiPower 460 Pulse establishes open circuit voltage (OCV)
and output power is immediately available for welding. This means that the STICK electrode holder is “HOT”, and an arc will
strike when the electrode comes in contact with the workpiece.
Arc Force is automatically enabled when the WELD PROCESS switch is set to the STICK position. The level of Arc Force is
automatically adjusted by the current preset being used. Due to the "Built-In" Arc Force in the stick mode, the actual current
may be greater than the preset value.
When the WELD PROCESS switch is moved to the TIG or STICK position,
electrode becomes electrically “HOT”. Do not allow the electrode to
contact ground potential until you are ready to make a weld.

NOTE
When using the MP-460 Pulse with an Optional Remote Pendent Control , the STANDARD/MIG PULSE
switch must be in the STANDARD position for proportional current control. Set the current knob on
the MP-460 Pulse front panel to the maximum desired weld current level. The remote device will then
control the current proportionally between the minimum current setting of 5 amps and the maximum
current set on the MP-460 Pulse front panel. The maximum Stick welding current is 525 amps.
If the MP-460 PANEL/REMOTE switch is left in the REMOTE position while using a Remote Pendant Con-
trol option, the current range will be full scale or 10 to 400 amps on the remote device. Adjustment of the
maximum current on the MP-460 Pulse front panel is defeated.
