ARC CONTROL

 

 

 

 

 

 

PULSE

 

 

 

DESCRIPTION

 

FREQUENCY:

 

 

 

 

 

(Low)-10.0 to

 

 

For Pulse modes, Arc Control

 

(High)+10.0

 

 

changes the pulsing frequency.

 

 

 

 

When the frequency changes,

 

 

 

 

the Power Wave system auto-

 

 

 

 

matically adjusts the back-

 

 

 

 

ground current to maintain a

 

 

 

 

similar heat input into the weld.

 

 

 

 

Low frequencies give more con-

 

 

 

 

trol over the puddle and high fre-

 

 

 

 

quencies minimize spatter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

START OPTIONS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PREFLOW TIME

 

 

 

DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0 - 10 seconds

 

 

 

Adjusts the time the gas flows

 

 

 

 

 

after the trigger is pulled and

 

 

 

 

 

prior to feeding wire.

 

RUN-IN WFS:

 

 

 

 

 

Off, 50 to150 in/min.

 

 

 

Run-in sets the wire feed speed

 

 

 

 

 

from the time the trigger is

 

 

 

 

 

pulled until an arc is estab-

 

 

 

 

 

lished.

 

Start Procedure

 

 

 

The Start Procedure controls

 

 

 

 

 

the WFS. Trim at a specified

 

 

 

 

 

time at the beginning of the

 

 

 

 

 

weld. During the start time, the

 

 

 

 

 

machine will ramp up or down

 

 

 

 

 

from the Start Procedure to the

 

 

 

 

 

preset Welding Procedure.

EFFECT / RANGE

 

 

FUNCTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Postflow Time:

 

 

Adjusts the time that shielding

 

 

0 to 10 seconds

 

 

gas flows after the welding out-

 

 

 

 

 

put turns off.

 

 

Burnback: 0 to .25

 

 

The burnback time is the

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seconds

 

 

amount of time that the weld

 

 

 

 

 

output continues after the wire

 

 

 

 

 

stops feeding. It prevents the

 

 

 

 

 

wire from sticking in the puddle

 

 

 

 

 

and prepares the end of the

 

 

 

 

 

wire for the next arc start.

 

 

Crater Procedure

 

 

Crater Procedure controls the

 

 

 

 

 

WFS and volts for a specified

 

 

 

 

 

time at the end of the weld after

 

 

 

 

 

the trigger is released. During

 

 

 

 

 

the Crater time, the machine

 

 

 

 

 

will ramp up or down from the

 

 

 

 

 

Weld Procedure to the Crater

 

 

 

 

 

Procedure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spot Timer:

 

 

Adjusts the time welding will

 

 

0 to 10 Seconds

 

 

continue even if tigger is still

 

 

 

 

 

pulled. This option has no effect

 

 

 

 

 

in 4-Step Trigger Mode.
