b. VOLTS / TRIM DISPLAY
The voltage/trim meter displays either the voltage or trim value, depending upon the welding process (mode) being used and the status of the wire feeder and power source.

|
|
| Synergic |
| Displays the preset Trim value from 0.50 | |
|
| to 1.50, with 1.00 as the default. Trim | ||

| adjusts the arc length for Pulse programs. | |
|
|
| Lower the trim value to decrease the arc | |
|
|
| length, and raise the trim value to | |
|
|
| increase the arc length. A trim value of | |
|
|
| 1.00 is optimum for most conditions. | |

| STT waveform. Used to modify the heat | |
|
|
| input. | |
|
|
| • Linc Net Power Sources: Displays the | |
|
|
| background current as a value from 0.50 | |
|
|
| to 1.50, with 1.00 as the default. Lower | |
|
|
| the trim value to decrease the heat input, | |
|
|
| and raise the trim value to increase the | |
|
|
| heat input. A trim value of 1.00 is opti- | |
|
|
| mum for most conditions. | |
|
|
| • Arc Link Power Sources: Displays the | |
|
|
| background current in amps. Lower the | |
|
|
| background current to decrease the heat | |
|
|
| input and raise the background current | |
|
|
| to increase the heat input. | |
|
|
|
| |
| Nonsynergic |
| Displays the preset CP value from 0 to 20. | |

| The Power mode is best for thin sheet | |
|
|
| metal and aluminum applications. | |

|
All Processes | After welding, the meter holds the actual |
| average arc voltage for 5 seconds. |
| During this time, the display flashes to |
| indicate the wire feeder is in the "Hold" |
| period. Output adjustment while in the |
| "Hold" period results in the "prior to oper- |
| ation" characteristics described above. |
SYNERGIC CV VOLTAGE DISPLAY
Synergic CV programs feature an ideal voltage best suited for most procedures. Use this voltage as a starting point for the weld procedure and adjust if needed for personal preferences.
The voltage is calibrated to ±2% over a range of 10 to 45 volts.
When the voltage knob is rotated, the display will show an upper or lower bar indicating if the voltage is above or below the ideal voltage.
•Preset voltage above ideal voltage. (upper bar displayed)
•Preset voltage at ideal voltage. (no bar displayed)
•Preset voltage below ideal voltage. (lower bar displayed)
