4-10. Selecting Manual MIG Welding

E1 D1

L6

P1 P2

Set Manual MIG welding process on the power source. L6 is On.

In Manual MIG mode, the operator may need to adjust main welding parameters for specific arc characteristics. Wire feed speed and arc voltage will appear on D1 and D2.

During Setting :

D1 value is default voltage setting of 18.5 V (range is 10 V to 50 V). L1 is On.

Use E1 to change voltage.

D2 value is default wire feed speed setting of 5.0 m/min (range is 1.0 m/min to 20.0 m/min). L3 is On.

Use E2 to change wire feed speed.

While Welding:

D1 shows the measured welding voltage in volts. L1 is On.

D2 shows the measure welding current in amperes. L4 is On. Set wire speed and welding voltage with E1 and E2.

Select trigger mode using P1 push button (see Section 4-4). If necessary, use P2 to adjust the welding parameters.

Purge air from gun hose using P3 pushbutton. (see Section 4-8).

Manual MIG Welding Advanced Settings

To change all values list, unit must be SETUP FULL. To set unit to SETUP FULL, proceed as follows:

Press P2 to enter SET UP menu.

Select SET FULL on D1 and D2 (see Section 4-6).

Setting Inductance

Press P2 to enter SET UP menu.

Use E1 to select on D1 ind. D2 shows 100.wi

If necessary, use E2 to adjust inductance value (range is 1% to 200%).

.Higher inductance setting produces a softer weld puddle and less spatter, but arc starts may be more difficult. Lower induc-

tance setting produces a stiffer weld puddle and more spatter, but arc starts may be easier.

Wire Feed Speed Unit (only in SETUP FULL)

Use E1 to change D1 to Uni.

D2 value is the default setting of mpm (meters per minute). D2 shows IS.

Use E2 to change D2 to IPM (inches per minute). D2 shows Inc. L3 is always on in MIG Manual welding.

Setting Pre-Gas (only in SETUP FULL)

Use E1 to change D1 to PrE.

D2 value is default setting of 0.0 s (range is 0.0 s to 10.0 s). Use E2 to change D2 value.

Setting Post-Gas (only in SETUP FULL)

Use E1 to change D1 to PoS.

D2 value is default setting of 0.1 s (range is 0.0 s to 10.0 s). Use E2 to change D2 value.

Setting BurnBack (only in SETUP FULL)

Use E1 to change D1 to bur.

D2 value is default setting of Aut (range is 1% to 200%).

Auto is a setting below 1% that provides an automatic burnback time. Use E2 to change D2 value.

Setting Run-In (only in SETUP FULL)

Use E1 to change D1 to rin.

D2 value is default setting of Aut (range is 1% to 200%).

Auto is a setting below 1% that provides an automatic run-in time. Use E2 to change D2 value.

Run-In is the speed of the wire feed before arc starting in percent of the set wire speed. It is used for improving arc starts.
