Typical Control Settings For Short
Circuit Transfer Using .035 (ER70S-3)
Solid Wire And 75/25 Argon/CO
>
Set Weld Process Selector switch
to Wire + (DCEP) position.
>
Set Coarse Range switch to Wire/
Low Range (17-22 volts) position.
>
Set Fine Control to obtain minimum
spatter.
>
Set wire feed speed between
100-300 ipm.
Typical Control Settings For Spray
Transfer Using .035 (ER70S-3) Solid
Wire And 80% Or Higher Argon/CO
Gas:
>
Set Weld Process Selector switch
to Wire + position.
>
Set Coarse Range switch to Wire/
High Range (20-28 volts) position.
>
Set wire feed speed between
320-500 ipm.
>
Set Fine control to 3 and increase
for longer arc length.
Typical Control Settings Using .045
(E71T-11) Self-Shielded Flux Core
Wire:
>
Set Weld Process Selector switch
to Wire − position (DCEN).
>
Set Coarse Range switch to Wire/
Low Range (17-22 volts) position.
>
Set Fine Control near minimum set-
ting.
>
Set wire feed speed between
125-200 ipm.
>
Do a test weld. To increase arc
length, increase Fine Control set-
3
ting. To shorten arc length, reduce
fine control setting or increase wire
feed speed.
