P.16

Push-Pull Gun Knob behavior

 

 

 

 

 

 

This option determines how the potentiometer on the Push/Pull torch will behave.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gun Pot Enabled = The welding wire feed speed is always controlled by the potentiometer on the push-

 

 

 

 

 

pull gun (default). The left front panel knob is only used to adjust Start and Crater wire feed speed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gun Pot Disabled = The wire feed speed is always controlled by the left front panel knob. This setting is

 

 

 

 

 

useful when the operator wishes to have wire feed speed settings recalled from memories and not have

 

 

 

 

 

the potentiometer "overwrite" the setting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gun Pot Proc A = When in procedure A, the welding wire feed speed is controlled by the potentiometer on

 

 

 

 

 

the push-pull gun. When in procedure B, the welding wire feed speed is controlled by the left front panel

 

 

 

 

 

knob. This setting allows a fixed wire feed speed to be selected in procedure changes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.20

Display Trim as Volts Option

 

 

 

 

 

 

This option determines how trim is displayed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

False = The trim is displayed in the format defined in the weld set (default).

 

 

 

 

 

 

True = All trim values are displayed as a voltage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.22

Arc Start/Loss Error Time

 

 

 

 

 

 

This option can be used to optionally shut off output if an arc is not established, or is lost for a specified

 

 

 

 

 

amount of time. Error 269 will be displayed if the machine times out. If the value is set to OFF, machine

 

 

 

 

 

output will not be turned off if an arc is not established nor will output be turned off if an arc is lost. The

 

 

 

 

 

trigger can be used to hot feed the wire (default). If a value is set, the machine output will shut off if an arc

 

 

 

 

 

is not established within the specified amount of time after the trigger is pulled or if the trigger remains

 

 

 

 

 

pulled after an arc is lost. This is disabled while welding in Stick, TIG or Gouge. To prevent nuisance

 

 

 

 

 

errors, set Arc Start/Loss Error Time to an appropriate value after considering all welding parameters (run-

 

 

 

 

 

in wire feed speed, weld wire feed speed, electrical stick out, etc). To prevent subsequent changes to Arc

 

 

 

 

 

Start/Loss Error Time, the setup menu should be locked out by setting Preference Lock = Yes using the

 

 

 

 

 

Power Wave Manager software.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.80

Sense From Studs

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use this option for diagnostic purposes only. When power is cycled, this option is automatically reset to

 

 

 

 

 

False.

 

 

 

 

 

 

False = Voltage sensing is automatically determined by the selected weld mode and other machine set-

 

 

 

 

 

tings (default).

 

 

 

 

 

 

True = Voltage sensing is forced to "studs".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.81

Sense Leads Selection

 

 

 

 

 

 

Used in place of DIP switches for configuration of the work and electrode sense leads. This option will

 

 

 

 

 

only appear in the list if the power source has a hardware selection option.

 

 

 

 

 

 

67 pos polarity = An electrode sense lead is connected using positive polarity. This is used by most

 

 

 

 

 

GMAW welding procedures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

67 neg polarity = An electrode sense lead is connected using negative polarity. This is used by most

 

 

 

 

 

GTAW welding procedures and some Innershield procedures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

67 & 21 = An electrode sense lead and work sense lead are connected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hardware Config = The hardware determines the best remote sensing configuration. This is applicable to

 

 

 

 

 

MIG welding procedures only.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.82

Voltage Sense Display

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allows viewing of Voltage Sense Lead Selection to aid in troubleshooting. The configuration is displayed

 

 

 

 

 

as a text string on the lower display whenever the output is enabled. This parameter is not saved on a

 

 

 

 

 

power cycle, but will be reset to False.
