P.9 Crater Delay
P.17 Remote Control Type
P.20 Display Trim as Volts Option
P.22 Arc Start/Loss Error Time
English
This option is used to skip the Crater sequence when making short tack
welds. If the trigger is released before the timer expires, Crater will be
bypassed and the weld will end. If the trigger is released after the timer
expires, the Crater sequence will function normally (if enabled).

OFF (0) to 10.0 seconds (default = Off)
This option selects the type of analog remote control being used. Digital
remote control devices (those with a digital display) are configured
automatically.

"Push-Pull Gun" = Use this setting while MIG welding with a push-pull
gun that uses a potentiometer for wire feed speed control (this setting
is backward compatible with "P.17 Gun Selection" = PushPull).

"TIG Amp Control" = Use this setting while TIG welding with a foot or
hand current control device (Amptrol). While TIG welding, the upper
left Control on the User Interface sets the maximum current obtained
when the TIG amp control is at its maximum setting.

"Stick/Gouge Rem." = Use this setting while stick welding or gouging
with a remote output control device. While stick welding, the upper left
Control on the User Interface sets the maximum current obtained
when the stick remote is at its maximum setting. While gouging, the
upper left Control is disabled and the gouging current is set on the
remote control.

"All Mode Remote" = This setting allows the remote control to function
in all weld modes which is how most machines with 6-pin and 7-pin
remote control connections operate.

"Joystick MIG Gun" (European default) = Use this setting while MIG
welding with a push MIG gun with a joystick control. Stick, TIG and
gouge welding currents are set at the User Interface.
Note: On machines that do not have a 12-pin connector, the "Joystick
MIG Gun" settings will not appear.
Determines how trim is displayed

"No" (factory default) = The trim is displayed in the format defined in
the weld set.

"Yes" = All trim values are displayed as a voltage.
Note: This option may not be available on all machines. The power
source must support this functionality, or this option will not appear in the
menu.
This option can be used to optionally shut off output if an arc is not
established, or is lost for a specified amount of time. Error 269 will be
displayed if the machine times out. If the value is set to OFF, machine
output will not be turned off if an arc is not established nor will output be
turned off if an arc is lost. The trigger can be used to hot feed the wire
(default). If a value is set, the machine output will shut off if an arc is not
established within the specified amount of time after the trigger is pulled
or if the trigger remains pulled after an arc is lost. To prevent nuisance
errors, set Arc Start/Loss Error Time to an appropriate value after
considering all welding parameters (run-in wire feed speed, weld wire
feed speed, electrical stick out, etc.). To prevent subsequent changes to
Arc Start/Loss Error Time, the setup menu should be locked out by setting
Preference Lock = Yes using the Power Wave Manager software.
Note: This parameter is disabled while welding in Stick, TIG or Gouge.
