The preset voltage can be adjusted re-
motely at the wire feeder if the feeder
has a voltage control. This voltage con-
trol will override the Adjust Control of
preset voltage on the welding power
source.
Pressing the Setup Button allows adjust-
ment of Arc Control, Wire Type, Gas Type
and preset voltage.
.
For best results, select the appropriate
Wire and Gas Type to match the actual
wire and gas being used. Refer to the
MIG − Wire and Gas Selection Table
for available wires and gases (see
Section 7-3).
Selecting a Wire and Gas
Press the Setup Button repeatedly until the
Wire Type indicator is lit. The active Wire
Type will appear in the Left and Right Dis-
play.

Press the Setup Button to confirm the
selection. The unit will acknowledge a
change of wire and gas information by dis-
playing PROG LOAD momentarily.
Arc Control (Inductance)
Press the Setup Button repeatedly until the
Arc Control indicator is lit. INDU appears on
the Left Display, and the corresponding in-
ductance setting appears on the Right Dis-
play.
Rotate Adjust Control to select desired in-
ductance setting from 0 to 100. Use lower
inductance settings to stiffen the arc and re-
duce puddle fluidity. Use higher inductance
settings to soften the arc and increase
puddle fluidity.
Refer to the MIG − Wire and Gas Selection
Table (see Section 7-3) for suggested in-
ductance setting for the specific wire and
gas being used.
Press the Setup Button to return to adjust-
ment of preset voltage.
.
Each Wire and Gas Type combination
has independent preset voltage and in-
ductance settings. These settings are
preserved when the unit is turned off.
