1. WIRE FEED SPEED (WFS) / AMP METER

This meter displays either the WFS or current value depending on the status of the machine. Located below the display are the text "WFS" and "Amps." An LED light is illuminated next to one of these in order to indicate the units of the value displayed in the meter.

•Prior to CV operation, the meter displays the desired pre- set WFS value.

•Prior to CC-Stick and CC-GTAW operation, the meter dis- plays the preset current value.

•During Welding, the meter displays actual average amps, but may be configured to display actual WFS.

•After welding, the meter holds the actual current or WFS value for 5 seconds. During this time, the display is blink- ing to indicate that the machine is in the "Hold" period. Output adjustment while in the "Hold" period results in the "prior to operation" characteristics stated above.

CC Processes

•The meter displays the status of the output.

•When output is enabled, the meter will display "ON."

•When there is no output, the meter will display "OFF."
