BUILT TO LAST
Description
The future of welding has arrived! The
Campbell Hausfeld Arcitech
arc
welder uses inverter technology to
eliminate the mass and weight of
traditional transformer welders, giving
you amazing power in a tiny portable
package. This constant-current power
source delivers smooth DC power for
high quality welds with the SMAW
(shielded metal arc welding) process
using stick electrodes. It can also be
converted to a TIG (tungsten inert gas)
welder with the optional TIG torch
(WT6100) and a bottle of inert gas
with a regulator.
The Campbell Hausfeld Arcitech
welder runs on 115 Volt – 20 Amp
single phase input power. It is
equipped with infinite amperage
control to accurately select the proper
current needed for various welding
conditions. Internal components are
thermostatically protected.
Unpacking
When unpacking, inspect carefully for
any damage that may have occurred
during transit. Make sure any loose
fittings and screws, etc. are tightened
before putting unit into service.
Circuit Requirements
This equipment
requires a
dedicated 115 volt circuit. Refer to the
following chart for the correct circuit
breaker or fuse rating. Do not run
other appliances, lights, or tools on
this circuit while operating this
equipment.. See chart for proper
extension cord use. Blown fuses and
tripped circuit breakers can result from
failure to comply with this
recommendation.

CAUTION
Specifications
The electrode
holder is "live"
(has current potential) when machine is
turned on.
Components (See Figure 1)
1. Work Clamp with 10’ lead and dinse
plug connector
!
WARNING
2. Electrode Holder with 15’ lead and
dinse plug connector
3. Power Cord – 7.5’ – 14AWGX3C-SJT
Controls – Front Panel (See Figure 2)
1. Infinite amperage control knob –
controls 5-110 Amps DC output
2. Positive Dinse plug connector:
a) Connect electrode holder for
“reverse” (DCEP) polarity.
b) Connect work clamp for “straight”
(DCEN) polarity.
3. Negative Dinse plug connector:
a) Connect work clamp for “reverse”
(DCEP) polarity.
b) Connect electrode holder for
“straight” (DCEN) polarity.
4. Yellow LED – Normally off. When lit it
means that welding current is shut off
due to:
a) Thermal overload – duty cycle is
exceeded – allow to cool for 15
minutes.
b) Input voltage outside of safe
