SETTING AND CONFIGURING THE POWER

MIG 300 FOR WELDING

Check that the electrode polarity is correct for the process and turn the Power Switch to the "ON" position. After the "boot-up" period (approximately 20 seconds), the POWER MIG 300 will default to the last preset weld mode that was active when the machine was powered down. The Multi- Process Panel defaults with the "Weld Mode" active.

Toggle the SET switch to the desired "Weld Mode" opera- tion. The Multi-Process Meter displays a weld mode num- ber corresponding to a CC or CV welding process as detailed by the chart on the right side of the panel. In the example shown in Figure B.2 “3” is displayed above the SET switch. This means that the machine is set for CC- GTAW (TIG) welding.

Toggle the SELECT switch to activate the "weld parame- ters" for the selected weld mode.

Set each parameter using the SET switch to adjust the parameter displayed on the display meter.

NOTE: If the LED next to the weld parameter is flashing, the WFS/AMP and/or the Volt/Trim values can also be adjusted for that parameter using the control knobs below each dis- play meter. An LED below each of the displays will also be flashing to indicate which value is adjustable.

The Table B.1 shows which weld parameters are adjustable for a given weld mode. The weld parameters are detailed later in this section.
