5.17.1.2 Special parameters in detail
Ramp time for wire inching (P1)
The wire inching starts with a speed 1.0 m/min for 2 secs. It is subsequently increased to a ramp function
to 6.0 m/min. The ramp time can be set between two ranges.
During wire inching, the speed can be changed by means of the welding parameter setting rotary dial.
Changing the speed has no effect on the ramp time.
Program "0", releasing the program block (P2)
The program P0 (manual setting) is blocked. Only operation with P1-P15 is possible, irrespective of the
key switch position.
Display mode for Up/Down welding torch with one-digit 7-segment display (P3)
Normal display:
Program operation: Program number
Up/down operation: Up/down setting
Alternating display:
Program operation: Change program number and welding process (pulse/non-pulse)
Up/down operation: Change up/down setting and up/down symbol
Program limit (P4)
Program selection can be limited with the special parameter P4.
• The setting is adopted for all JOBs.
• Program selection depends on the position of the "welding torch function" changeover switch (see
"Machine description"). Programs can only be switched when the changeover switch is in the
"program" position.
• Programs can be switched by means of a connected remote control or special welding torch.
• If a special welding torch or a remote control is not connected, it is only possible to switch programs by
means of the "arc length correction/select welding program" rotary dial (see "Machine description").
Special cycle in the operating modes special latched and non-latched (P5)
With the special sequence activated, the start of the welding process changes as follows:
Sequence for special non-latched mode/special latched mode:
• Start program "P
START
"
• Main program "P
A
"
Sequence for special non-latched mode/special latched mode with custom sequence activated:
• Start program "P
START
"
• Reduced main program "P
B
"
• Main program "P
A
"
Enabling special JOBs SP1 to SP3 (P6)
For machine version Phoenix Expert only.
Phoenix Expert machine series:
The welding task is set at the power source control; refer to the relevant system documentation.
If required, the predefined special welding tasks SP1 = JOB 129 / SP2 = JOB130 / SP3 = JOB 131 only
can be selected at the wire feeder control. The special JOBs are selected by pressing the welding task
selection push-button for a longer period. The special JOBs are switched by pressing the push-button
briefly.
The JOB changeover is blocked if the key switch is in the “0” position.
This block can be cancelled for the special JOBs (SP1 - SP3).
