OPERATION

Once “Weld Mode Search” is displayed, pressing the right pushbutton labeled “Begin” will start the search process.

During the search process, pressing the right pushbut- ton typically acts as a “next” button and the left push- button typically acts as a “back” button.

Rotate the control knob then press the right pushbut- ton to select relevant welding details such as welding process, wire type, wire size, etc.

When the final selection is made, the PF10MTM will automatically change to the weld mode found by the Weld Mode Search process.

Earlier products may not have this feature. To acti- vate this feature, a software update may be needed from www.powerwavesoftware.com

CHANGING ARC WAVE CONTROL

If the selected weld mode uses any of the four available wave controls, users can press the left MSP4 pushbutton until the ARC CONTROL LED is illuminated. The value, name and units (if applicable) of the available wave con- trols will appear. Note that the name of the control is derived from the weld table and may not necessarily appear as "Wave Control". Repeated pressing of the left MSP4 pushbutton will cycle through all active wave con- trols and then the weld mode. Turning the MSP4 encoder will change the value of the displayed wave control.

CHANGING WELD SEQUENCE bEHAVIOR

Weld sequencing attributes are grouped into two cate- gories, START OPTIONS and END OPTIONS. START OPTIONS may include Preflow Time, Run-in Wire Feed Speed, and Start Time. END OPTIONS may include Spot Timer, Crater Time, Burnback Time and Postflow Time. The attributes that appear in the START and END OPTIONS are weld mode dependent. For example, if a TIG weld mode is selected, Run-in WFS will not appear since it is not relevant to the selected process. Repeated pressing of the right MSP4 pushbutton will cycle through all relevant START and END OPTIONS. Turning the MSP4 encoder will change the value of the selected option.

When the Start Time attribute is set to a value other than OFF, the START OPTIONS LED will blink synchronous with the WFS and VOLTS/TRIM LED’s on the dual-dis- play panel. This blinking is used to indicate that start wire feed speed and voltage/trim can now be set to values dif- ferent from those used while welding.

Similarly, if the Crater Time attribute is set to a value other than OFF, the END OPTIONS LED will blink syn- chronously with the dual-display LED’s, indicating that crater wire feed speed and voltage/trim now can be set to values different from those used while welding.

INFRARED (IR) CONTROL

The MSP4 interface includes an infrared transceiver. This allows wireless machine configuration using a Palm OS based hand held computer. A proprietary Palm OS application, ALPalm, was developed for this purpose. (Contact Lincoln Electric for more information on this fea- ture.)

LOCKOUT/SECURITY

The MSP4 can be optionally configured to prevent the welder from changing selected MSP4 options. By default, the welder will be able to change the weld mode, all rele- vant wave controls and all relevant start and end options.

LIMIT SETTING

The MSP4 can be optionally configured to limit the operator’s range of control of any weld parameter (weld WFS, arc control, etc.). Limits are only available with the Dual Procedure/Memory Panel.

MACHINE SETUP/USER PREFERENCES

The MSP4 can be used to configure and troubleshoot the machine.

ACCESSING THE MACHINE SETUP MENU

To access the Machine Setup menu, press both MSP4 push buttons simultaneously. The MSP4 7-seg- ment display will display the first user preference, "P.0", and the SETUP LED will illuminate.

•Pressing the left MSP4 pushbutton will exit the entire Machine Setup menu while in the P.0 user preference.

•Turning the MSP4 encoder knob will select other available User Preferences.

•To exit the User Preference Menu, either rotate the MSP4 encoder until P.0 is displayed and press the left MSP4 pushbutton or press both MSP4 push but- tons simultaneously at any time.
