P.8 TIG
Gas
Control
This option allows control over which gas solenoid actuates while TIG welding.
"Valve (manual)" = No MIG solenoid will actuate while TIG welding, gas flow is
manually controlled by an external valve.
"Solenoid (auto)” = The MIG solenoid will turn on and off automatically while
TIG welding.
"Feeder Solenoid" = The internal (feeder) MIG solenoid will turn on and off
automatically while TIG welding.
"Pwr Src Solenoid" = Any gas solenoid connected to the power source will turn
on and off automatically while TIG welding. This selection will not appear in the
list if the power source does not support a gas solenoid.
Notes:
Preflow is not available while TIG welding. Postflow is available - the
same postflow time will be used in MIG and TIG. When machine output on/off
is controlled via the upper right knob, gas flow will not start until the tungsten
touches the work. Gas flow will continue when the arc is broken until the
Postflow time expires. When machine output on/off is controlled via an arc start
switch or foot Amptrol, gas will begin flowing when the output is turned on and
will continue flowing until the output is turned off and the Postflow time expires.
If a dedicated TIG gas solenoid is installed, as in the Advanced ACModule, all
TIG gas control will use that solenoid and this menu option will be irrelevant.

P.9 Crater
Delay
This option is used to skip the Crater sequence when making short tack welds.
If the trigger is released before the timer expires, Crater will be bypassed and
the weld will end. If the trigger is released after the timer expires, the Crater
sequence will function normally (if enabled).
On dual-head Power Feed 84 Feeders, a different setting can be used for each
head. The operator will be prompted to select which head to edit before the
setting can be changed.
P.14 Reset
Consumable
Weight
Use this option to reset the initial weight of the consumable package. Press the
Right Button to reset the consumable weight. This option will only appear with
systems using Production Monitoring.
P.16
Push-Pull Gun Knob Behavior
This option determines how the potentiometer on the Push/Pull torch will
behave.
Gun Pot Enabled = The welding wire feed speed is always controlled by
the potentiometer on the push-pull gun (default). The left front panel knob
is only used to adjust Start and Crater wire feed speed.
Gun Pot Disabled = The wire feed speed is always controlled by the left
front panel knob. This setting is useful when the operator wishes to have
wire feed speed settings recalled from memories and not have the
potentiometer "overwrite" the setting.
Gun Pot Proc A = When in procedure A, the welding wire feed speed is
controlled by the potentiometer on the push-pull gun. When in procedure
B, the welding wire feed speed is controlled by the left front panel knob.
This setting allows a fixed wire feed speed to be selected in procedure B
and not have the potentiometer "overwrite" the setting when the procedure
changes.
On dual-head Power Feed 84 Feeders, a different setting can be used for each
head. The operator will be prompted to select which head to edit before the
setting can be changed.
