LA POCKETMIG 225 DP - Weldin
The manual mode allows the user to select the welding voltage and wire feed speed as need-
ed. Depending on the selected control mode and welding method, adjustment according to
the table below is possible.
WARNING! In MIG mode it is not possible to select the material to be welded or the wire diame-
ter.
Welding voltage correction in synergic modes
After setting the welding current in synergic modes, welding voltage correction is possible. After
setting the welding current with the knob (P), the welding voltage can be corrected with the
knob (L). To check the percentage change in voltage in relation to the value set according to
the synergic program, press the GAS (C) button. By turning the knob (L) further voltage correc-
tion is possible. To return to the voltage display, press the GAS (C) button again.
Inductance regulation
Adjusting the inductance allows optimization of the arc characteristics depending on the
thickness of the workpiece as well as the welding method and conditions. This function is useful
when MIG/MAG welding of thin elements, preventing burn-out and during braze welding of
galvanized elements.
Changing the inductance value also reduces the amount of welding spatter when welding in a
CO2 shield. The higher the inductance value (+), the amount of spatter decreases, when the
value is negative (-), the amount of spatter increases. The optimal setting of the inductance
value depends on several factors and may differ from standard recommendations, therefore it
should be chosen experimentally during welding tests.
Adjusting this parameter also allows braze welding of thin (up to 3 mm) galvanized elements
made of copper alloy CuSi3 wires in a pure argon sheath or in some cases Ar / CO2 mixtures
(82/18).
