The LED’s below the display illuminate to in-
dicate which value is being shown.

At any time during welding, the weld se-
quence wire speed can be adjusted and
overrides the preset wire speed display. In
other words, if the Adjust control is acti-
vated while welding, the unit displays and
permits adjustment of the weld sequence
wire feed speed regardless of the active
welding sequence.

JOG

The jog speed selection, indicated by “JOG”
in the upper display, can be changed by turn-
ing the Adjust control. The jog wire feed speed
setting is the same for all programs. The jog
wire feed speed may also be adjusted while
the INCH UP or INCH DOWN buttons are
pressed.

MODE

Welding mode indicated by “MODE” in the up-
per display is set to “CV” for constant voltage,
or “CV+C” for constant voltage plus current.
This setting is program specific.

Run-In

The run-in wire speed selection, indicated by
“RUNI” in the upper display, is set to automat-
ic , off, or manual run-in wire speed. The lower
display shows “AUTO” to indicate that auto-

matic run-in is active. The Adjust control can
be used to change the setting from “AUTO”,
to a run-in wire speed setting. If a start condi-
tion is set, run-in is a percentage of the start
wire speed, otherwise run-in is a percentage
of the weld wire speed. The active program is
displayed in the Program display. The active
program can be changed by pressing the Pro-
gram push button, and then selecting the de-
sired program with the Adjust control.

Run-in settings are program specific. For ex-
ample, program 1 can be set to 40% run-in,
and program 2 can remain on the Automatic
setting.

BURNBACK

Burnback time and voltage are specified
when the display indicates “BURN” in the low-
er display, and voltage and time in the upper
display. The Adjust control is used to set the
desired burnback time or voltage.

Burnback retract wirespeed is specified when
the display indicates “BURN” in the upper dis-

play. Burnback retract wirespeed may be
turned to “OFF” with the lower display push
button or changed with the Adjust control.

Flux Valve Control

Flux valve control, indicated by “FLUX” in the
upper display, is set to “AUTO” for automatic
control, or “MAN” for manual control. Setting
the Flux valve control to “AUTO” closes the
flux valve relay when the Start button is
pressed, and opens the flux valve relay when
the last sequence is finished. The flux valve
control can be overridden by using the flux
button. Setting the flux valve control to “MAN”
requires the user to close and open the flux
valve relay with the flux button.

Wire Feed Speed Setting

Wire feed speed setting, indicated by “WFS”
in the upper display, can be set to “IPM” inch-
es-per-minute or “MPM” meters-per-minute.
This setting is independent of the program se-
lected.
