Synergic vs. Manual Setup and Operation

How Synergic MIG operates:

The Synergic function of the PowerMTS 250S allows the user to automatically raise or lower the voltage by using

only the amp /wire speed control. This function is based off a microprocessor controlled program that uses the

operator's input of wire diameter and filler metal type. Increasing or decreasing wire speed simultaneously ad-

justs the voltage. Even in the Synergic mode, the user can make manual adjustments to the voltage to fine tune

the programming if he chooses by turning the voltage knob up or down after adjusting the amps. If the voltage is

readjusted after overriding the wire speed, the unit remains in the synergic mode and wire speed is once again

adjusted automatically. However, the new ratio of volts and wire speed created by manual readjustment of the

wire speed while in the synergic mode will be automatically be saved. It will be remembered and used by the

micro processor in subsequent voltage adjustments during the synergic welding session. The unit will return to

the factory default programming when the welder is cycled on and off or the process is changed. The welder may

be used in a non synergic MIG mode, with independent control of the wire feed speed by simply selecting the

MIG process. Settings will not be saved when the unit cycles off and back on and will restore factory settings un-

less a program has been saved. If you are going to use Flux Core, special flux core drive rolls must be used that

have a knurled surface to properly feed the wire. The Synergic function is not optimized to weld with flux core

(gasless or dual shield) wire. To use flux core or a dual shielded wire, with the 250S, you must select the MIG

function to disengage the feature and manually configure the welder. Also please note that polarity with flux core

wire varies.

How to setup the Synergic and Manual functions:

1. Turn unit on. Wait for it to go through the power up cycle. (MTS 200, 250S)

2. Select the MIG icon with the Process Selector button.

3. Select the wire diameter of the wire being used. (MTS 250S).

4. Select the filler wire type. Fe= Steel, Al= Aluminum, Ss= Stainless Steel. (MTS 250S)

5. Select 2T or 4T function. 2T is simply press and hold the torch trigger to start and activate the torch. 4T

requires the trigger to be pressed to start the arc. Once started, the trigger should be released to weld. The

trigger should once again be pressed, held briefly and then released to terminate the arc when ready.
