OPERATION
Comments
The stick soft mode is the best selection for general stick
applications.
Arc Control = Arc Force
Hot Start = Initial hot start current (min = start a match set amps, Max. =
greatest hot start current) During hot start, arc force is set at
high and is fast response.
For gouging applications: Turn current up to 425 amps.
The stick crisp mode features an aggressive arc force routine well suit-
ed for Exx10, Exx11 series electrodes.
Arc Control = Arc Force
Hot Start = Initial hot start current (Mid range = welding current and will
vary up and down with knobcontrol.) During hot start, arc
force is set at high and is fast response.
For gouging applications: Turn current up to 425 amps.
The tig mode produces a soft, steady constant current waveform for
either touch start or high frequency assisted start DC GTAW applica-
tions.
Hot Start = Min to Mid range = Touch start with low OCV
Mid to Max range = High frequency assistedstarting with adjustable
OCV up to 70 volts.
The GMAW - CV mode is the best selection for general MIG welding,
Metal core, and gas shielded applications.
Arc Control = Pinch (Min = min pinch, softest arc),
(Max = max pinch, crispest arc)
equipment gouging programs, for example a PowerWave 455.
The GMAW Power mode features good stable short arc performance
when welding small diameter (.025 and .030 steel & stainless) wires at
low procedures. This mode also performs well welding aluminum in the
spray mode.
The FCAW-SS mode is designed for Self Shielded Innershield products
that require tight voltage control. For example; the NR 203 series or NR
207)
Arc Control = Pinch (Min = min pinch, softest arc),
(Max = max pinch, crispest arc, )
