OPERATION

b-6

 

 

 

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.

Volts / Trim Display prior to operation

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nonsynergic CV

 

Displays the preset Voltage value.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Synergic CV

 

Displays the preset Voltage value.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Synergic

 

Displays the preset Trim value from 0.50

 

CV-Pulse

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Synergic CV-STT

 

• Adjusts the background current of the

 

 

 

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.

 

Power

 

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)
