Slope refers to the shape of a volt-amp curve. Varying the amount of slope in the welding circuit will
change the amount of short-circuit current and rate of response from the welding power source.
Provides voltage/arc adjust, wire feed rate, and time value for modified arc starts.
TDS allows the operator to select between a pair of weld programs by using the gun trigger. In TDS
mode, momentarily release and close the gun trigger while welding to cycle between a pair of
preselected weld programs.
Trigger Hold allows the operator to feed wire without continuously pressing the gun trigger. In trigger
hold mode, momentarily press gun trigger, and wire will feed until gun trigger is momentarily pressed
again.
Indicates time values being set for timed functions (e.g. Preflow, Postflow which are only available in
the Arc On and Analog input or the Arc On and No Analog input modes).
TPS allows the operator to select weld programs by using the gun trigger. In TPS mode, momentarily
pressing the gun trigger allows the operator to cycle through preselected weld programs up to a total
of 8 programs.
Selecting Trigger Control allows activating trigger functions such as DS, IGNR, TH, 4T, TDS, and
TPS.
Preset voltage in MIG mode at idle, actual voltage while welding, and 3 seconds hold value at end of
weld.
Selection of wire type by alloys and classification.
Term used to represent wire feed speed. In MIG mode, wire feed setting is independent of voltage
setting. In pulse and Accu-pulse adjusting wire feed speed also increases power level on wire elec-
trode (one knob control).
4T allows the operator to select between weld parameters and crater parameters using the gun
trigger. Crater time must be set for at least 0.2 seconds to make this function operational. If gun
trigger is released during welding, unit goes into trigger hold, then pressing and holding trigger again
causes unit to stay in crater until trigger is released and crater parameter times out.
