Weld Mode Search
The Weld Mode search function allows for a particular
mode to be selected based on the process, wire type
and wire size.
1. Press the Left Push Button until Weld Mode LED is
illuminated.
2. Press and hold the centre knob for 1 second release
centre knob. The Weld Mode search menu will be
active.
3. Rotate centre knob to cycle to desired process.
4. Press the right Push Button to select the process. If
necessary, repeat steps 3 and 4 to select wire type,
wire size, and final selection.
2-step 4-step - Trigger Operation
The 2-Step - 4-Step switch changes the function of the
gun trigger. 2-Step trigger operation switches the
welding output ON-OFF in direct response to the trigger.
4-Step trigger operation provides ' trigger interlock'
capability and gives the ability to control the amount of
time spent in the arc start and arc crater steps.
Press the right push button on the case front to toggle
between 2-Step and 4-Step operation.
The 2-Step, 4-Step trigger has no effect when welding
with SMAW.
2-Step Trigger
2-Step trigger operation is the most common. When the
gun trigger is pulled, the welding system (power source
and wire feeder) cycles through the arc starting
sequence and into the main welding parameters. The
welding system will continue to weld as long as the gun
trigger is activated. Once the trigger is released, the
welding system cycles through the arc ending steps.

4-Step Trigger
4-Step trigger operation gives the welder additional
control in the welding sequence. 4-Step trigger allows
the welder to choose the arc start, weld and arc end
time. It may also be set-up to work as a trigger interlock.
Cold Feed/Gas Purge Switch
Cold Feed and Gas Purge are combined
into a single spring centered toggle switch.
To activate Cold Feeding, hold the switch
in the UP position. The wire drive will feed
electrode but neither the power source nor
the gas solenoid will be energized. Adjust
the speed of cold feeding by rotating the
WFS knob. Cold feeding, or "cold inching" the electrode
is useful for threading the electrode through the gun.
Hold with toggle switch in the DOWN position to activate
Gas Purge and let the shielding gas flow.
Set-Up Features Menu
The Setup Menu gives access to the set-up
configuration. Stored in the set-up configuration are
user parameters that generally need to be set only at
installation. The parameters are grouped as follows:
•
P.1 through P.79 Unsecured Parameters (always
adjustable).
• P.79 through P.199 Diagnostic Parameters (always
read only).
•
P.501 through P.599 Secured Parameters
(accessible only through Power Wave Manager).
To access the set-up menu, press the right and left
buttons of the MSP4 panel simultaneously. Note that
the set-up menu cannot be accessed if the system is
welding, or if there is a fault (The status LED is not solid
green). Change the value of the blinking parameter by
rotating the SET knob.
After changing a parameter it is necessary to press the
right hand button to save the new setting. Pressing the
left button will cancel the change. To exit the set-up
menu at any time, press the right and left buttons of the
MSP4 panel simultaneously. Alternately, 1 minute of
inactivity will also exit the setup menu.
