A. General
ST-801 077-A
1 Interface Unit
The interface unit is designed for
use in pulse MIG welding (adaptive
or standard), or MIG welding.
The unit is factory-equipped with
eight programs for pulse MIG weld-
ing (see Figure 5-2). The programs
contain parameters that maximize
welding performance for each com-
bination of wire and shielding gas.
The unit also provides memory for
the creation of up to eight MIG pro-
grams (see Section 8).
The weld programs require the user
to enter information specific to the
welding application. This informa-
tion is entered as a part of program
development (see Section 6 for
pulsed MIG information), and dur-
ing setup (see Section 10).

B. Pulse MIG Programs
The eight pulse programs are
shown in the table. Each program
can be used in standard pulse MIG
or adaptive pulse MIG.
In an adaptive pulse MIG program,
the unit manipulates certain weld
variables to hold arc voltage
constant. This feature is described
in Section 7-4.
The factory-set parameters for
each program can be changed to
customize them for an application
(see Section 7).
