Activ8X® Pipe™

WELDING MODES

Non-Synergic Welding Modes
In non-synergic weld modes, WFS and Voltage can be chosen
independently of each other. There are two non-synergic modes
in the Activ8X Pipe:
• Non-synergic GMAW
• Non-synergic FCAW-G
Synergic Welding Modes
In synergic weld modes, the WFS work-point is chosen and the
recommended voltage/trim is given for the chosen work-point. If
needed, the Voltage/Trim can be adjusted (up or down). If the
Voltage/Trim is adjusted above its recommend limit, a dash will
appear on the upper-left of the preset Voltage value. If the
Voltage/Trim is adjusted below its recommend limit, a dash will
appear on the lower-left of the preset Voltage value.
WELD PROCUDURE SETUP
WFS and Volts/Trim are chosen with the upper encoders on the
Activ8X Pipe User Interface.
Weld modes are chosen with the lower encoder and displayed
on the lower screen.

AUTO SETTINGS

The Activ8X Pipe has an Auto settings feature enabled by default.
Auto settings are engineered by Lincoln and vary based on the
workpoint of the weld mode and help optimize the welding
performance. Auto settings are enabled by default for the following
parameters:
Preflow
Run-in
Start procedure
Crater procedure
Burnback
Postflow
Auto settings are enabled on these parameters by default but can
be disabled, allowing the parameters to be manually set by the end-
user.
MEMORIES
There are four memory storage selections. The active memory
is shown in the lower right corner of the bottom display.
If the memory number is blinking, then the active procedure has
a setting that does not exactly match the settings stored in that
memory.
Pressing the right pushbutton allows you to cycle through and
make active any of the 4 memories stored in the Activ8X Pipe
After 5 seconds of inactivity (or immediately following a gun
trigger, gas purge or cold feed switch engagement), the "M" in
the upper right corner will disappear indicating that the memory
selection menu has been exited. The number of the selected
memory will continue to be displayed in the lower right corner of
the bottom display. If changes are made to the settings outside
of memory selection, the number will blink.
To save the active procedure settings to a memory, press and
hold the right button for 3 seconds. After the memory is stored,
the display will indicate the stored memory location. The display
will stay on for 2 seconds and then the display will revert to the
memory selection display.
All four memory locations and procedure A and B will default to
the factory default settings after a factory reset.
Memory saves can be disabled in the setup menu.
