    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.
  • Page 20: Power Switch

    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).
