Displays D1 and D2 will show the wire feeder software version. Welding system is ready to weld with the factory-set default values or or the values and parameters of the last weld.
  • Page 17: Trigger Mode Selection

    4-4. Trigger Mode Selection Always check and set a trigger mode. If trigger mode is undefined for a weld- ing process, select the desired mode. Trigger mode can be set for Manual MIG, Synergic MIG, Synergic Pulsed MIG, and Synegic Double Pulsed MIG welding to change when output power is present at the weld connectors.
