Remote Control Type - This option selects the type of analog 
remote control being used. Digital remote control devices 
(those with a digital display) are configured automatically. 

 

"TIG" = Use this setting while TIG welding with a foot or 
hand current control device (Amptrol). While TIG welding, 
the upper left Control on the User Interface sets the 
maximum current obtained when the TIG amp control is at 
its maximum setting. 

 

"Stick" = Use this setting while stick welding or gouging 
with a remote output control device. While stick welding, 
the upper left Control on the User Interface sets the 
maximum current obtained when the stick remote is at it’s 
maximum setting. While gouging, the upper left Control is 
disabled and the gouging current is set on the remote 
control. 

 

"All" = This setting allows the remote control to function in 
all weld modes which is how most machines with 6-pin and 
7-pin remote control connections operate. 

 

"Joys" (default) = Use this setting while MIG welding with a 
push MIG gun with a joystick control. Stick, TIG and gouge 
welding currents are set at the User Interface. 

Note:

 On machines that do not have a 12-pin connector, the 

"Joys" settings will not appear. 

 

Arc Start/Loss Error Time - This option can be used to 
optionally shut off output if an arc is not established, or is lost 
for a specified amount of time. Error 269 will be displayed if 
the machine times out. If the value is set to OFF, machine 
output will not be turned off if an arc is not established nor will 
output be turned off if an arc is lost. The trigger can be used to 
hot feed the wire (default). If a value is set, the machine output 
will shut off if an arc is not established within the specified 
amount of time after the trigger is pulled or if the trigger 
remains pulled after an arc is lost. To prevent nuisance errors, 
set Arc Start/Loss Error Time to an appropriate value after 
considering all welding parameters (run-in wire feed speed, 
weld wire feed speed, electrical stick out, etc).  

 

OFF (0) to 10.0 seconds (default = Off) 

Note:

 This parameter is disabled while welding in Stick, TIG or 

Gouge. 

 

Feedback Persist – determines how feedback values are 
displayed following a weld: 

 

"No" (factory default) – last recorded feedback values will 
blink for 5 seconds following a weld, then return to present 
display mode. 

 

"Yes" – last recorded feedback values will blink indefinitely 
following a weld until a Control or button is touched, or an 
arc is struck. 

 

Power Source Select – this option is only for the LADI 
interface. It selects the analog power source that is connected.

 

User interface type - determines how the user interface works:

 

Feeder (FEEd, factory default) – UI works as Feeder. 

 

Parallel (PArA) – UI works as a remote control. Parallel 
may be used only in parallel with the main panel, which 
can be set to the "FEEDER ". 

 
Note:

 Selecting the UI type makes restart of system.

 

 
Note:

 Back to the factory setting forces Feeder type. 

 

Brightness Control - enables the brightness level. 

 

Adjust range: from 1 to +10, where 5 is default.
