Definition of MIG/MAG welding tasks

The PHOENIX product range has been designed to be very simple and quick to operate, but still provide
all the functions one could ever need.
For the most common applications, 128 JOBs (welding tasks) have been pre-programmed. The JOB
(welding task) is defined using the four basic welding parameters of welding process, material type, wire
diameter and gas type.
The digital system calculates the process parameters required, such as the welding current, welding
voltage and pulse current according to the operating point specified.
All the user needs to do is select the required job number (material, wire diameter, gas combination)
using the job list (sticker on the casing cover on the wire feed unit) and enter this job number on the
machine control.
There are presets for other welding parameters such as gas pre-flow, free-burning, etc. for numerous
applications, and these can be changed if required.
The parameters and functions described here can also be programmed by PC using the PHOENIX PC
300.NET welding parameter software.

Basic welding parameters

• Select JOB (welding task) using the JOB list.
On decompact welding systems, the "JOB list" sticker is located on the inside on the wire feed unit
cover; with compact machines it is on the right-hand power source cover.
It is only possible to change the JOB number when no welding current is flowing.
