Two versions (115 VAC, 50/60/100 Hz
and 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz) meet most
single-phase power configurations, and
all are rated at 60% duty cycle.
The HF-251 is compatible with power
sources made by other manufacturers.
For use with power sources with 14-socket
receptacle (5-socket adapter available).
Power on/off switch with pilot light.
Start, off and continuous control.
With the addition of an HF unit,
your constant-current power source
can handle welds on aluminum,
magnesium, thin stainless steel,
brass, copper and a wide variety of
both ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.
High-frequency intensity control.
Built-in postflow eliminates
contamination.
Protected secondary terminal.
Convenient, portable design can be
easily moved from location to location.
14-pin receptacle on front panel for
remote controls.
Warranted for 1 year, parts and labor.
