What is Power Set?
PowerSet is a feature that quickly guides you to make the best choice of
settings without having to refer to a text or chart information. This feature
can be used by beginners or professionals. This is accomplished by re-
quiring you to input 3 separate pieces of information about your weld that
help determine the best setting for Volts (V) and Wire Feed Speed (WFS).
Once these pieces of information are entered, the machines programming
determines a setting for you. Although an optimized setting is determined,
this is based on average welding conditions, since no programming can
take into account every variable. In general, you should find that the set-
tings that the unit selects are very useable in most conditions. However,
even if you find that the settings the unit
’
s programming provides are not
suitable (for example you are welding out
-
of
-
position or joining different
thicknesses of metal) the PowerSet mode does not lock you into that exact
setting. In fact, it allows you to fine tune both volts and wire feed speed,
up or down, within a limited range. Don
’
t worry about not being able to
fine tune the units setting enough. The limited range accommodates plen-
ty of adjustment, but it is designed to help prevent you from making a
completely unworkable setting. The range is typically one full volt higher or
Using Power Set
To use the PowerSet mode:
1.
Choose the Gas Type/Mode (i.e. MIG25, MIG 100, or Flux
-
Cored). NOTE: If you select gas type
after
selecting PowerSet mode, you will drop out
of the PowerSet mode and return to manual mode.
2.
Press the PowerSet button to turn on the PowerSet mode.
3.
Use the left select button to select wire diameter. The selected setting will flash continuously. (For
.025”
and wires, use
.023”
selection.) NOTE:
Make sure you also have selected the proper drive roll size for the wire feeder.
See page 19 for more information.
4.
Use the right select button to select metal thickness. The selected setting will flash continuously. NOTE: If joining different metal thicknesses,
select for the thicker metal and position the gun so that the heat is concentrated mostly on the thicker piece
.
5.
The machine will automatically give you a centered setting, denoted by the flashing four pointed star for both Volts and Wire Feed Speed.
Moving up or down the range of either the Volts or Wire Feed Speed will cause other segments on the sloped guide to be highlighted and flash.
This gives you a visual reference and a targeted return point if you choose a setting too far off an optimum setting. NOTE: Test the prescribed
setting before making any adjustments.
