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.
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).

When welding, actual arc voltage is displayed. Upper Display Push Button Press the button to illuminate the LED and allow changing information in the display.
5-6. 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.

5-10. Jog/Purge Pressing the Jog/Purge switch allows the operator to jog wire without energizing the weld power or gas valve circuit. The unit provides the ability to jog the wire feeder by means of the gun trigger or the Jog/Purge switch. If the welding arc does not initiate in 3 seconds after the gun trigger is activated, the unit will perform a jog operation for a maximum of 30 seconds.
