WELD MODE SEARChING

The Weld Mode Search feature allows the selection of
a welding mode based on certain criteria (wire size,
process type, etc.).

SEARChING FOR A WELD MODE

To search for a mode, turn the control knob until
“Weld Mode Search” is displayed. This will appear in
between the highest and the lowest weld mode num-
bers.
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 C300TM 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
