P.17 Remote
Control
Type
This setup parameter was previously named "Spool/Push-Pull"
This option selects the type of analog remote control being used. Digital
remote control devices (those with a digital display) are configured
automatically. Not all P.17 selections will be available on all machines. When
P.17 is used to configure the remote control to function in a specific process,
the remote will be ignored in other processes. For example, if P.17 = TIG Amp
Control, the remote control will only function when TIG welding - the remote will
be ignored in other processes (MIG, stick and gouge). If P.17 is set to Spool
Gun or Push-Pull Gun then set to All Mode Remote, the machine will
remember prior value of P.17 and will operate a Spool Gun or Push-Pull Gun,
depending on the prior value of P.17.
Spool Gun
= Use this setting while MIG welding with a spool gun that uses a
potentiometer used for wire feed speed control (this setting is backward
compatible with "P.17 Gun Selection" = Standard/Spool).
Push-Pull Gun
= Use this setting wile MIG welding with a push-pull gun that
uses a potentiometer for wire feed speed control (this setting is backward
compatible with "P.17 Gun Selection" = PushPull).
TIG Amp Control
= Use this setting while TIG welding with a foot or hand
current control device (Amptrol). While TIG welding, the upper left knob on the
User Interface sets the maximum current obtained when the TIG amp control is
at its maximum setting.
Stick/Gouge Rem
. = Use this setting while stick welding or gouging with a
remote output control device. While stick welding, the upper left knob on the
User Interface sets the maximum current obtained when the stick remote is at
it’s maximum setting. While gouging, the upper left knob is disabled and the
gouging current is set on the remote control.
All Mode Remote
= 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. This setting was provided so that customers with a mix of
Lincoln Electric equipment can have consistent remote control behavior across
all of their equipment. (N. American default)
Joystick MIG Gun
= 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. (European default)
On dual-head PF84 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.
