NOTE
"OFF THE ARC" Wire Feeders can use
either MIG (CV) or STICK (CC) Process
Selection. Place the contactor toggle
switch on the accesssory panel (see
Figure 2-5 or 4-5) to the "ON" position.
SECTION 4 OPERATION
D. TIG and STICK WELDING
In the TIG and STICK process mode, you must depress and "HOLD" the
PRESET button while presetting the welding current in the top display.
Releasing the preset button causes the display to return to zero. Once welding
begins, the display will show average welding current and volts in the top and
bottom display, respectively. After welding stops, the current display will again
return to zero. There is no “HOLD” circuit for the display meters when using the
TIG and STICK process modes.
E.
MIG WELDING PRESET PROCEDURE
When the PROCESS switch is placed in the MIG position, the MultiPower 460
Pulse is set for CV (constant voltage) welding. The power source will output
open circuit voltage (OCV) when the Mig Gun trigger is depressed.
The
following procedure assumes the wire feed and voltage adjustments will be
made from the wire feeder front panel and wire and gas have been installed.
Step 1. Connect wire feeder to MultiPower 460 Pulse and set PANEL/RE-
MOTE switch to REMOTE position.
Step 2. Set the STANDARD/PULSE switch to the STANDARD position.
Step 3. Place the WELD PROCESS switch in the MIG (center) position.
Step 4. Press and release the PRESET button then turn the wire speed
control on the wire feeder to the desired speed shown on the top
digital display window of the MultiPower 460 Pulse.
Step 5. Turn the VOLTAGE knob on the wire feeder to the desired arc
voltage in the bottom digital display window of the MultiPower
460 Pulse.
Step 6. Set the shielding gas flow rate to 35 cfh by activating the gas purge
switch on the wire feeder or pulling the gun trigger and turning the
adjustment knob on the Flowmeter.
Step 7. Connect the work cable to the part to be welded and pull the gun
trigger to start welding. Trim the wire speed and volts as needed for
the desired arc characteristics and weld quality.
