WIRE DATA
Wire type
The equipment can be preset for the wire you intend to weld with. The control
system must be given information about the wire shape in order to achieve optimum
start/stop characteristics.
S
solid wire
S
cored wire
S
strip
Wire diameter
The chosen wire diameter has a big effect on the start cycle and crater filling. When
welding with a wire diameter that is not given in the options table, choose the nearest
diameter from the menu.
Remark. For certain wire materials a better welding result can be achieved, if a
value deviating from the real wire dimension by 1 step is set (normally 1 step from
the real value).
When metric units are used the following alternatives are available:
S
solid wire 0.8 / 1.0 / 1.2 / 1.6 / 2.0 / 2,4 / 3.0 / 3.2 / 4.0 / 5.0 / 6.0 mm
S
cored wire 0.8 / 1.0 / 1.2 / 1.6 / 2.0 / 2,4 / 3.0 / 3.2 / 4.0 mm
S
strip 30 x 0.5 / 60 x 0.5 / 100 x 0.5 mm
When inch units are used the following alternatives are available
S
solid wire 0.030, 0.040, 0.047, 1/16, 5/64, 3/32, 7/64, 1/8, 3/32,
7/64, 1/8, 5/32, 3/16, 1/4
S
cored wire 0.030, 0.040, 0.047, 1/16, 5/64, 3/32, 7/64, 1/8, 3/32,
7/64, 1/8, 5/32
S
strip 30 x 0,5 / 60 x 0,5 / 100 x 0,5
Wire composition
When welding with different filler materials the start and stop method is affected by
the choice of materials. It is therefore important that the settings show whether you
are welding with steel--based or aluminium--based filler wires.
S
Fe Steel filler wire
S
Al Aluminium filler wire
S
SS Stainless steel filler wire
Number of wires
Values between 1 -- 2 can be entered.
For example, if welding with two wires (Twin Arc) enter the value 2.
