- Page 23 POWER FEED™ 25M NNS OPERATION VOLTAGE / TRIM DISPLAY AND KNOB Process Display / Function Description Pulse welding controls the arc length with 'Trim' instead of volt- age. When trim (arc length) is adjusted, the Power Wave auto- matically recalculates the voltage, current and time of each part of the pulse waveform for the best result.
- Page 24 POWER FEED™ 25M NNS OPERATION SELECTING A WELD MODE Weld modes may be selected by mode number or through a search function. To select a weld mode: 1.

- Page 25 POWER FEED™ 25M NNS OPERATION WAVE CONTROL Wave Control is used to adjust the arc for exact preferences. The wave control functions vary for different processes and weld modes. Effect / Range Process Wave Control Description Name Arc Force adjusts the short circuit current for a soft arc, or for a forceful, driving arc.
- Page 26 POWER FEED™ 25M NNS OPERATION WAVE CONTROL Effect / Range Process Wave Control Description Name Peak Current acts similar to an arc pinch control. Peak Current sets the arc length and promotes good fusion. Higher peak current levels will cause the arc to broaden momentarily while increasing arc length.
- Page 27 POWER FEED™ 25M NNS OPERATION 2- STEP 4- STEP- TRIGGER OPERATION 2-Step Trigger The 2-Step - 4-Step switch changes the function of the gun trigger. 2-Step trigger operation switches the weld- ing output ON-OFF in direct response to the trigger. 4- Step trigger operation provides 'trigger interlock' capa- bility and gives the ability to control the amount of time spent in the arc start and arc crater steps.
- Page 28 POWER FEED™ 25M NNS OPERATION 2-Step Trigger 2-Step Trigger controls the welding sequence in direct response to the trigger. When the gun trigger is pulled, the welding system (power source and wire feeder) cycles through the arc starting sequence and into the main welding parameters. The welding system will continue to weld as long as the gun trigger is activated.
- Page 29 POWER FEED™ 25M NNS OPERATION 2-Step Trigger Example 2: 2-Step Trigger: Improved Arc Start and Arc End Tailoring the arc start and arc end is a common method for reducing spatter and improving weld quality. This can be accomplished with the Start and Burnback functions set to a desired values and Crater set to OFF. For this sequence, PREFLOW: Shielding gas begins to flow immediately when the gun trigger is pulled.
- Page 30 POWER FEED™ 25M NNS OPERATION 2-Step Trigger Example 3: 2-Step Trigger: Customized Arc Start, Crater and Arc End Aluminum is an example of where start, crater and burnback are commonly used to improve welding performance. For this sequence, PREFLOW: Shielding gas begins to flow immediately when the gun trigger is pulled. RUN-IN: After preflow time expires, the power source regulates to the start output and wire is advanced towards the work piece at the Run-In WFS.
- Page 31 POWER FEED™ 25M NNS OPERATION 4-Step Trigger 4-step trigger allows the operator to release the trigger once an arc has been established. To end the weld, the trigger is pulled and then released again. Two types of 4-Step Trigger are available. Use the set-up menu to select the desired type of operation. With current interlock, if the arc goes out for more than 0.5 seconds while the trigger is released, the welding process stops and goes to the idle state.
- Page 32 POWER FEED™ 25M NNS OPERATION 4-Step Trigger Example 2: 4-Step Trigger: Manual Control of Start and Crater times with Burnback ON. The 4-Step trigger sequence gives the most flexibility when the Start, Crater and Burnback functions are active. This is a popular choice when welding aluminum because extra heat may be needed during Start and less heat desired during crater.
- Page 33 POWER FEED™ 25M NNS OPERATION Spot Trigger The Spot Trigger may only be selected if the Spot Time has previously been set to a value other than 0.0 (OFF) and the Start and Crater are both OFF. Spot time causes the welding system to turn on for a fixed time, regardless if the trigger is held for a longer period of time. If the trig- ger is released before the spot timer is complete, welding stops.
- Page 34 POWER FEED™ 25M NNS OPERATION 4-Step Trigger: Special Considerations The response to the trigger with 4-step trigger active is dependent upon when the trigger is pulled/released and the settings for START and CRATER. Example 1. Pull the trigger to start feed of wire. When arc is established the sequencer will remain in START until the trigger is released. When the trigger is released, UPSLOPE begins.
