LES RAYONS D’ARC peuvent entraî- ner des brûlures aux yeux et à la peau. Le rayonnement de l’arc du procédé de soudage génère des rayons visibles et invisibles intenses (ultraviolets et infrarouges) susceptibles de provo- quer des brûlures dans les yeux et sur la peau. Des étincelles sont projetées pendant le soudage.

SECTION 5 − OPERATION 5-1. Operational Terms The following is a list of terms and their definitions as they apply to the interface unit in the wire feeder: General Terms: Arc Adjust Term used to represent arc length adjustments in pulse programs. Increasing Arc Adjust increases the actual arc length.
Page 20
General Terms: Sequence Selecting Sequence will allow setting of preflow, start, crater, and postflow times and parameters. Preflow Setting a time value for gas flow prior to arc start. Start Provides voltage/arc adjust, wire feed rate, and time value for modified arc starts (which is only adjustable with the optional PDA with File Management/WaveWriter software).
SECTION 6 − OPERATION 6-1. Power Switch 6-2. Left/Right Select Switch Power Switch 804 021-A Left/Right Select Switch Pressing the Left/Right Select switch allows the operator to choose which side of the units’ con- trols will operate. Depressing the Left or Right Gun Trigger also allows the operator to enable the con- trols on that side of the unit.
6-3. Jog/Purge The Jog/Purge switch provides the following functions: Pressing left side of the Jog/Purge switch allows the operator to feed wire without energizing the weld power or gas valve circuit. The wire will feed at a 60 ipm rate for 3 seconds, then the rate ramps up to 700 ipm until the Jog switch is released.

6-5. Program Push Button 6-6. Upper Display Upper Display The upper display at idle (not welding) shows preset volts with process selection MIG or Arc Adjust for all other processes. When welding, the display shows actual voltage. The display will show actual voltage for approximately 3 seconds after welding stops before returning to preset value.
6-7. Lower Display Lower Display The lower display shows WFS (wire feed speed), AMPS (amperage), ARC CTL (arc control), or Time. The feeder displays only preset wire speed at idle (not welding). While welding, the average amperage is displayed. The lower display shows welding sequence time when the Time LED is illuminated.

The upper and lower displays will be used for Accu-pulse and only the lower display for MIG, Pulse and RMD (optional) to show the current process installed in this program.
6-11. Reset Mode Enter reset mode by turning power On and pressing the Program Push Button until the RST NO message is displayed. RST NO message will not display until after the power-up sequence is completed (approximately 20 seconds). Rotate Adjust knob to change NO to YES.
