SETTINGS MENU:

There are 2 levels of menus that can be accessed on the DLF-72.
To enter the welding menu system, press the menu button on
the bottom right.
Rotating the left encoder knob will change the menu item.
Rotating the right encoder knob will change the menu item's
setting.
Pressing the Menu Button again will exit the menu.
Settings Menu items are:
•
Arc Control
•
•
•
Burn Back
•
Units Metric / Imperial
•
Display Arc Current/WFS
Arc Control (Arc):
In CV modes arc control is used to vary the pinch or inductance
When ACtL is selected in the setting menu, it will appear on the
left display. To change the value turn the right knob clockwise
to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the value.
It can be adjusted from the range -10.0 to +10.0.
Run-in Speed (% of weld WFS) (run):
Run-in speed is used to modify the wire feed speed during the
wire will begin to be fed at the run in speed. By default it is set
This setting changes the amount of time that the solenoid is held
closed before the welding torch is energized and the wire is fed.
trigger is pulled.
range can be adjusted to be off or adjusted between 0.1s and
10.0s.
This setting changes the amount of time that the gas solenoid is
held closed after the welding arc is commanded off. The welding
turned off here as well. It can also be adjusted between 0.1s and
10.0s.
Burnback Time (burn bAC):
the trigger is released and the wire is no longer being fed. It can
be used to reduce the wire stickout after a weld.
The default burnback time is Auto. It can be turned off in the
menu or adjusted between 0.05s - 0.250s.
Units (Unit):
The wire feed speed settings can be viewed in Metric or Imperial
Units by selecting either "US" or "Euro" in the Units section of
the Setup Menu. By default "US" is selected.
Display Units (diSP):
The units shown on the left display while welding can be
changed from the default of Arc Current in Amps. When "diSP" is
selected in the menu, the right knob can be turned to select
"Curr" or "Feed". Curr will show Arc Current in Amps. Feed will
display wire feed speed in inches per minute or meters per
minute depending on the setting of the Units Menu Item.

ADVANCED MENU:

The Advanced Menu can be accessed by pressing and holding the
Menu Button for 5 seconds. This menu allows the user to view
the Software Revision and restore the unit to factory default
settings. The menu items can be scrolled through by pressing the
Menu Button once in the Advanced Menu.
Restore Factory Default (dFLt):
The second menu item allows the user to restore the machine to
its factory defaults. The option can be selected by turning the
right knob when "dFLt" is selected.
Software Revision:
Checksum. This information may be useful when communicating
machine version to service.
Calibration Speed (CAL Spd):
This is used to calibrate the wfs meter to a known calibrated WFS
Meter. To calibrate the wire feed speed, before entering the Setup
Menu, use the following procedure:
- Set the display to desired WFS Setpoint using the left
knob (ex: 400 IPM)
- Measure the actual WFS (ex: 405 IPM)
- Calibration Factor = Actual WFS / Set WFS
- For this example, 405/400 = 1.01
- Navigate to the "CAL Spd" Menu Item
- Use the right encoder to increase or decrease the value
to 1.01
