7. INDUCTANCE TRIM
This control is used only in the STANDARD mode and is deactivated in the TIG,
STICK and PULSE modes.
Inductance is used to optimize short circuiting arc performance by changing the
current rise and fall time of each short circuit. This results in improved spatter
control, weld bead wetting and arc stability. The short circuiting Mig arc
performance will change from a high short circuit frequency, fast reacting arc,
to a lower short circuit frequency, soft and less spattering arc as the dial is turned
clockwise. The optimized arc performance will vary depending on shielding gas,
wire type and wire diameter. The operator can adjust this control to optimize
welding characteristics.
8. STANDARD/PULSE SWITCH
This switch enables the Mig pulse operation mode. When this switch is in the
MIG PULSE position, the pulse parameters are determined by the WIRE
TYPE and WIRE DIAMETER position on the PULSE SELECTION switches.
9. PULSE SELECTION SWITCHES
WIRE TYPE
Use this switch to select the WIRE TYPE installed on the wire feeder. The
position of this switch and the WIRE DIAMETER switch selects the pulse
parameters to be used during welding in the Mig pulse mode.
WIRE DIAMETER
Use this switch to select the WIRE DIAMETER installed on the wire feeder.
The position of this switch and the WIRE TYPE switch selects the pulse
parameters to be used during welding in the Mig pulse mode.
