ters change based on current process):
Description
Arc control adjusts puddle characteristics. 0 to 25 results in stiffer/faster re-
acting puddle. 0 to -25 results in softer, more fluid puddle.
Increase for less electrode sticking and more penetration/drive. Reduce for
softer arc that will penetrate less.
Provides additional amperage to assist in starting electrode.
Adjust in .1 second increments to increase or decrease time it takes to
transition from hot start current to preset current.
When enabled, welding output turns off when stick electrode becomes
dead shorted or stuck to the workpiece. This allows for easy removal of
electrode and will eliminate overheating of flux.
Arc control adjusts reactivity of arc. 0 to 25 results in stiffer, faster reacting
arc. 0 to –25 results in softer, slower reacting arc.
Adjusts arc length required to terminate arc.
Modified auto stop that terminates arc over a period of time. This reduces
chance for craters, as puddle solidifies more slowly.
Pulsing can be used to reduce heat input/distortion and aid in welding of
dissimilar thickness. 1-10 PPS produces distinct ripple pattern and to time
filler addition. 100+ PPS helps focus arc, increase arc stability, and travel
speed.
Increasing raises average amperage and creates more fluid puddle. De-
creasing lowers average amperage and creates less fluid puddle.
Increasing raises average amperage and creates more fluid puddle. De-
creasing lowers average amperage and creates less fluid puddle.
This adjusts inductance. Settings from 0 to -25 result in softer, more fluid
puddle. Settings from 0 to 25 will result in stiff, fast responding arc.
The speed of wire prior to arc initiation. When enabled, welder determines
the optimal run-in speed for each start. When set to disabled, run-in speed
is same as weld wire feed speed.
Select correct spool gun being used. If wrong model is selected, wire feed
speed could be inaccurate.
Select wire type used in spool gun. Each wire type selection has process
parameters optimized for that wire.
Calibration ensures wire feed speed (WFS) is accurate. See Section 6-15
for spool gun calibration instruction.
This adjusts inductance. Settings from 0 to -25 result in softer, more fluid
puddle. Settings from 0 to 25 will result in stiff, fast responding arc.
Machine defaults to AUTO. When 14-pin is connected, output and voltage/
amperage (V/A) is controlled by 14-pin accessory.
OFF overrides 14-pin accessory's contactor and V/A controls.
