4-3. Front Panel Controls - Continued (See Section 4-2)
8 Arc Control LED
The LED lights to indicate the Arc Control button is active. Light goes out when button is inactive.
9 Arc Control Push Button
This push button allows fine tuning inductance for MIG programs, and Arc Control for programs other than MIG. When the push button is pressed, the upper display (item 15) shows INDU for inductance, or ARC for Arc Control to indicate which parameter is selected for change. The range of possible values is
10 Wire Feed/Gas/Contactor LEDs
The Wirefeed LED lights when the wire feeder is energized. For example, when the front panel Jog or Retract button is pressed, the Wirefeed LED lights.
The Gas LED lights when the gas valve is energized.
The Contactor LED lights when the output contactor is energized, making the weld output terminals live.
11 Wire Speed And Amps LED’s
The lit LED indicates whether wire speed or amps are being displayed.
12Wire Feed Speed/Amps Display Push Button
13Lower Display
Press Wire Feed Speed/Amps Display button to show weld amperage or wire feed speed in lower display (the applicable LED under the lower display lights to indicate which is shown). When welding, actual value is shown.
If amperage was selected for display, the unit will show actual welding amperage prior to and while welding unless the the unit is in Display Command Values mode. Only wire speed command will be displayed while welding if the unit is set in Display Command Values mode, even if the Wire Feed Speed/Amps Display button is pressed.
.Displays show actual or command values as determined by configuration menu when using a PDA with File Management/ WaveWriter software. Command values are displayed prior to welding and actual values are displayed while welding unless a PDA with File Management software
was used to set the unit in the ”Display Command Values” mode. In the Display Command Values mode, command values are displayed while welding.
.If a PDA with File Management/WaveWriter software is used to change wire feed units (IPM, MPM) or display welding information (command or actual),save the changes and then turn the power to the unit off and then on again for the changes to be carried out by the unit.
14 Volts And Arc Adjust LED’s
The lit LED indicates whether voltage or arc length is being displayed.
15 Upper Display
The upper display shows different information depending on the active function of the unit and the weld process being used. When the display shows voltage (for a MIG process), the Volts LED lights. When it shows arc adjust [for a pulsed and RMD (optional) weld process], the Arc Adjust LED lights. However, during any weld process (MIG and pulse), the unit will display actual arc voltage unless a PDA with File Management/WaveWriter software has set the unit in the ”Display Command Values” mode.
