6-1. Controls (Continued)
1 Arc Length/Volts Display And Indicators
This display shows the voltage setting for MIG and FCAW processes (10.0 to 44.0 volts), and it shows the arc length for RMD and Pulsed-MIG
processes ( − 3.0 to +3.0 in 0.1 increments with 0.0 as nominal). The actual arc voltage is displayed while welding and continues to appear for 10
seconds after the welding arc is extinguished. Dashes appear on the display when other welding processes are selected. The indicators illuminate to
show if the value on the display is Arc Length or Volts.
2 IN USE Button And Indicator
Press and release this button on the power source or wire feeder to illuminate the IN USE text. Press and release again to turn IN USE text off. This lets
others know that the machine is being used. Light automatically turns on when arc is struck. Toggle light using the IN USE button during use. Light will
automatically turn off after four hours of inactivity. Press and hold this button to allow adjustment of Arc Control (arc width for RMD and pulsed-MIG, and
inductance for FCAW and MIG). The “IN USE” indicator will automatically illuminate when welding.
3 Amps/Wire Feed Speed Display And Indicators
Actual amperage is displayed while welding and measured amperage just prior to the end of a welding operation will appear on the display for 10 sec-
onds after the welding operation. The display shows wire feed speed setting for MIG and FCAW processes. The MPM (meters per minute) or IPM
(inches per minute) illuminate to show what the wire feed speed value is on the display.
4 Amps/Wire Feed Speed Decrease And Increase Buttons
Use the buttons to decrease or increase the value shown on the display.
5 Memory Select Button And Location Indicator
These memory locations are for storing weld process settings for easy access. Press and release the button to recall stored unit configuration settings.
Only one memory location can be active during unit operation. The number illuminates to indicate the active memory location. Unit configuration set-
tings are automatically saved to the active memory location one second after any change is made to any of the front panel controls. This feature allows
the unit to remember an operator’s preferred settings. These settings can be recalled at any time by selecting the appropriate memory location.
6 Trigger Select On/Off Button
Press and release TRIGGER SELECT button to enable/disable the trigger select feature for memory locations 1-4. The indicator above or below the
button, either On or Off respectively, illuminates to indicate the trigger select status. This feature must have at least two memory locations enabled to
perform its function, but as many as four memory locations can be enabled for TRIGGER SELECT. The desired MIG process type(s) and parameter
settings should first be loaded to each memory location prior to welding. These parameter settings (voltage/arc length and wire feed speed) are made at
the wire feeder front panel. Once parameters are set, quickly press and release gun trigger, in less than 0.2 seconds while not welding, to select the next
enabled memory location. If the gun trigger is pressed and held for 0.2 seconds or longer, the memory location will not advance and parameter settings
will remain at the current settings.
7 Jog Button
Pressing the Jog switch allows the operator to jog wire without energizing the contactor or gas valve. Hold Jog button and Press purge for auto-jog
function.
8 Trigger Hold On/Off Button
Press this button to turn the trigger hold feature On or Off. The text ON will illuminate to indicate when trigger hold is active. When trigger hold is active,
the gun trigger must be pressed and held after the arc is established for a minimum of one half second, but not more than six seconds. Releasing the gun
trigger activates the trigger hold function. To stop welding, press and release the gun trigger.
9 MIG Type Select Button And Indicator
Press this button to select the desired MIG process. Possible selections include FCAW, MIG, RMD, or pulsed-MIG. The process type text will illuminate
to show the selected process.
10 Purge Button
Pressing the Purge switch allows the operator to purge gas lines before welding and to preset gas flow rate at the flowmeter. Hold Purge button and
press Jog for timed purge.
11 Arc Length/Volts Decrease And Increase Buttons
Use the buttons to decrease or increase the value shown on the display.
