POWER WAVE® C300
• The Power Wave® C300 is now configured and
ready to weld in the synergic mode.
• Adjustment of the SPD value from the set value
has the affect of adjusting trim or arc length.
• To increase the arc length; increase the SPD
value at the Power Wave® C300 to a value
higher than the actual WFS.
Remember; do not change the WFS at the spool
gun.
• To decrease the arc length; decrease the SPD
value at the Power Wave® C300 to a value lower
than the actual WFS.
Remember: The dialed in SPD value at the Power
Wave® C300 does not control the WFS at the
spool gun. Rather, it is adjusting the Power
Wave® C300 synergic work point. Therefore,
adjusting the SPD value will not change your actu-
al WFS at the spool gun. WFS can only be
changed at the spool gun.
PuSh / PuLL OPERATION
• Set the idle roll pressure on the wire drive between
an indicator reading of 0-2. A recommended start
point is 1.5.
• Configure the machine for push/pull operation
(see
parameter P.17 in the Set-up Menu section).
• Depending on the weld mode, set the Voltage or
Trim at the Power Wave® C300 using the right con-
trol knob located on the upper case front panel.
• The Wire Feed Speed (WFS) is set using the control
knob on the Torch. The left control knob on the
Power Wave® C300 is inactive. The actual WFS
being set at the torch is displayed on the Power
Wave® C300.
• All weld parameters normally available for the active
weld mode are available during push-pull operation.
