SEARCHING FOR A WELD MODE
To search for a mode, turn the control knob until "Weld Mode
Search" is displayed. This will appear in between the highest
and the lowest weld mode numbers.
Once "Weld Mode Search" is displayed, pressing the right
pushbutton labeled "Begin" will start the search process.
During the search process, pressing the right pushbutton typi-
cally acts as a "next" button and the left pushbutton typically
acts as a "back" button.
Rotate the control knob then press the right pushbutton to
select relevant welding details such as welding process, wire
type, wire size, etc.
When the final selection is made, the Feeder will automatically
change to the weld mode found by the Weld Mode Search
process.
Earlier products may not have this feature. To activate this fea-
ture, a software update may be needed from www.power-
wavesoftware.com
