Basic settings for operation with two wire feeds
NOTE
Before operating for the first time, the wire feed controls must be configured for
operation with a second unit.
• One wire feed needs to be set up as the master, and the second as a slave.
• Wire feed units with a key switch (optional) must be configured as the master.
The special parameter P10 is located in the not directly accessible menu levels on the wire feed or
welding machine control.
It determines the settings for single or dual operation of wire feeds.
P10 Meaning
0
Single operation (no second wire feed connected)
1
Dual operation as the master
2
Dual operation as the slave
The following settings should be carried out in sequence on both wire feeds (with compact units, on the
welding machine and wire feed), or checked:
• open the special parameters menu on the machine control,
• set special parameter P10 on a wire feed (or welding machine) to "Master" and
• set special parameter P10 on the other wire feed to "Slave".
The "Master" or "Slave" setting does not mean a difference in function. The unit configured as the master
is active after switching on. (Tapping the torch trigger on the inactive unit will change over units.)
