ESAB CIGWELD EasyWeld 130 Operating Manual page 29

For example, if the Pre-set Voltage is 15V and in volts trim mode the setting is changed to -2.0 then the Pre-set
voltage will now be 13V. If the Volts Trim is changed to 4.0 then the Pre-set Voltage will be 19V.
5. Digital Meter
In MIG mode the digital meter is used to display the Wire Ø (diameter), Material Plate Thickness, Pre-set Wire
Feed Speed in Metres Per Minute (MPM), Pre-set Voltage, Volts Trim Setting in MIG mode and the actual
welding amperage of the power source whilst welding.
At the completion of welding, the digital meter will hold the last recorded amperage value for a period of
approximately 10 seconds.
The Digital meter will hold the value until; (1) any of the front panel controls are adjusted in which case the
unit will revert to viewing mode, (2) welding is recommenced, in which case actual welding amperage will be
displayed, or (3) a period of 10 seconds lapses following the completion of welding in which case the unit will
return to viewing mode.
To press the control knob within the 10 seconds digital meter display changes to next item on the menu for
adjustment, and corresponding LED indicator lights up. If there is no operation within the 10 seconds, digital
meter returns to the last pre-set value before welding and corresponding LED indicator lights up.
NOTE
The Pre-set functionality provided on this power source is intended to act as a guide only. Some differences may be
observed between pre-set values and actual welding values due to factors including the mode of welding, differences
in consumables/gas mixtures, individual welding techniques and the transfer mode of the welding arc (ie dip versus
spray transfer). Where exact settings are required (in the case of procedural work), it is recommended that alternate
measurement methods be utilised to ensure output values are accurate.
6. MIG Gun Polarity Lead
The polarity lead is used to connect the MIG Gun to the appropriate positive or negative output terminal (allowing
polarity reversal for different welding applications). The polarity lead should be connected in to the positive
welding terminal (+) when using solid steel, stainless steel or aluminium MIG wire. When using gasless wire,
the polarity lead is connected to the negative welding terminal (-). If in doubt, consult the manufacturer of
the electrode wire for the correct polarity. It is essential, that the male plug is inserted and turned securely to
achieve a sound electrical connection.
! !
CAUTION
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being fused in the Dinse terminal.
7. Positive Welding Output Terminal
The positive welding terminal is used to connect the welding output of the power source to the appropriate
welding accessory such as the MIG Gun (via the MIG Gun polarity lead), electrode holder lead or work lead.
Positive welding current flows from the power source via this Dinse terminal. It is essential, that the male plug
is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
CAUTION
! !
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being fused in the Dinse terminal.
