PIPEFAB™ WELDING SYSTEM OPERATION
B-14
MIG HOME SCREEN
FIGURE B.11
1. Feedhead Indicator – Shows which side of the wire feeder is selected and ready for setup. The
ac � ve side can be selected by pressing the Feedhead Select Switch, Cold Feed Switch, or the gun
trigger for the desired side.
2. Menu Bar - Use the Menu knob to scroll through the op � ons along the bo � om of the screen.
Press the knob to select the highlighted op � on.
3. Wire Feed Speed Se � ng - Sets the desired wire feed speed, use le � knob to adjust.
4. Voltage/Trim Se � ng - Sets the voltage or trim, use right knob to adjust.
5. MIG Mode Selec � on.
6. Wire Type Selec � on.
7. Wire Diameter Selec � on.
8. Gas Type Selec � on.
9. 2-Step/4-Step Trigger Interlock - Toggles between 2-Step and 4-Step Trigger Interlock. 2-Step
provides weld power and feeds wire only when the trigger is depressed. 4-Step eliminates the
need to hold the trigger while welding. It operates in 4 steps:
1. Close trigger and establish welding arc.
2. Release trigger and con � nue welding.
3. Reclose trigger near end of weld.
4. Release trigger again to stop welding.
NOTE: No symbol will be shown if 2-Step mode is ac � ve.
10. Ul � marc/Pinch – Ul � marc and Pinch regulate the focus or shape of the arc. Values greater than
0.0 increase the pulse frequency while decreasing the background current, resul � ng in a � ght,
s �ff arc best for high speed sheet metal welding. Values less than 0.0 decrease the pulse
frequency while increasing the background current, for a so � arc good for out-of-posi � on
welding. The MIG mode will determine if Ul � marc is used or Pinch.
11. Synergic Voltage Indicator – Nominal voltage is shown. Lowering the voltage below nominal will
move the bar to the le � . Raising the voltage above nominal will move the bar to the right.
