The interface unit is designed for use in pulse MIG welding (adaptive or standard), or MIG welding.

The unit is factory-equipped with eight programs for pulse MIG welding.

The unit also provides memory for the creation of up to eight MIG programs (see Section 11).

The weld programs require the user to enter information specific to the

welding application. This information is entered as a part of program development (see Section 9 for pulsed MIG information), and during setup (see Section 14).

The eight pulse programs are shown in the table. Each program can be used in standard pulse MIG or adaptive pulse MIG.

In an adaptive pulse MIG program, the unit manipulates certain weld variables to hold arc voltage constant. This feature is described in Section 10-5.

The factory-set parameters for each program can be changed to customize them for an application (see Section 10).

8-2. Standard Pulse Welding Programs

The following sixteen (16) pulse welding programs are in the control memory. Use this information if it is necessary to change a standard program, or as a basis to build your own custom program. If at any time while changing a standard program, or while building your own custom program, you want to go back to the standard program in the control memory, see Section 14-12 for System memory Reset instructions. See Section 10 for explanation of Pulse welding settings.

Apk = Peak Amperage, Abk = Background Amperage, PPS = Pulses Per Second, PWms = Pulse Width (millisec- onds), Vpk = Peak Voltage
