CHANGING AND SETTING WELD MODES
To select a weld mode, press the WELD MODE SELECTOR button until the WELD MODE indicator comes ON (it may already be lit by default at power up). Turn the control knob to select the desired mode. After about 1 second, the parameters for the new mode will be displayed. These parameters can be adjusted with the control knobs below each display.
NOTE: CC Modes will show AMPS in the upper left display. CV Modes will show wire feed speed and the WFS indicator will be lit.
FREQUENCY/BALANCE CONTROL
FREQUENCY ADJUST
Press the WELD MODE selector until the FREQUEN- CY/BALANCE indicator comes ON and the MSP Display reads “Frequency”. If the selected mode allows for frequency adjustment, the Control Knob can be used to select the desired frequency between 20 and 100hz.
BALANCE ADJUST
Press the WELD MODE selector until the MSP Display reads “Balance”. If the selected mode allows for balance adjustment, the Control Knob can be used to select the desired wave balance through a range of 25% to 75%.

Adjusting the Balance (the ratio between Positive and Negative half cycle ‘on time’) changes the deposition for more efficient welding.
OFFSET ADJUST
Press the WELD MODE selector until the MSP Display reads “Offset”. If the selected mode allows for offset adjustment, the Control Knob can be used to select the desired offset. The amount of offset allowed is determined by the selected weld mode.

Frequency adjustment can be used to fine tune stabili- ty of imbalanced waveforms and multiple arc system.
Independent control of the Positive and Negative cycles allows for more precise control of penetration and deposition.
