SECTION 5 − OPERATION 5-1. Operational Terms Note See Menu Guide for detailed programming steps. The following is a list of terms and their definitions as they apply to this wire feeder: General Terms: Adaptive Pulse Welding The wire feeder automatically regulates pulse frequency to maintain a constant arc length, regardless of change in welding wire stickout.

SECTION 6 − SETTING SEQUENCE PARAMETERS 6-1. Sequence Parameters In A Program See Menu Guide for detailed programming steps. Trim is arc length. If set to zero, arc length is short. If set to 99, arc length is long. If time is set to zero in Weld sequence, welding continues until gun trigger is released.
SECTION 7 − SETTING DUAL SCHEDULE PARAMETERS 7-1. Selecting Dual Schedule Pair Dual Schedule is used with two consecutive weld programs 1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6, or 7 & 8. Any program type (MIG, Adaptive Pulse, or Pulse) can be combined in dual schedule.
8-2. Installing Data Card Label Apply label to data card. Write program information on label. Data Card Card Slot For Blank Data Card: Insert card into slot. To format card, turn On power. Select Card from menu. Data card formats when unit enters Card mode.
SECTION 9 − SYSTEM SETUP 9-1. System Setup Display Parameters Note See Menu Guide for detailed programming steps. DISPLAY SETTING NOTES >System * Select the process the welding power source is able to do. >Range * Welding power source minimum and maximum voltage values are always needed. Amperage values are required for pulse welding.
SECTION 10 − STANDARD PULSE WELDING PROGRAMS Note Apk = Peak Amperage, Vpk = Peak Voltage, Abk = Background Amperage, PPS = Pulses Per Second, PWms = Pulse Width (milliseconds). Four teach points were used for factory set programs. If selection is set for fifteen teach points, the remaining points are interpolations from the 4 taught points.
