EZIMIG 205 / ADVANCEMIG 255
Pre-Gas Time:
(0-2S)
Time in seconds that gas is released after
the torch has been triggered but before the arc
is initiated.
Post Gas Time:
(0-5S)
Time in seconds that gas will continue to
be released after the trigger has been released
and the arc has been extinguished.
Soft Start:
(0-5)
When a weld is started, the workpiece and
the wire are cold. This can cause an uneven and
poor start to the weld. This setting slows the
wire feed down at the start of the weld which
can improve the weld starting performance.
Burn Back:
(0-5)
Burn back is used as a way of releasing
the wire from the weld pool at the stopping of
the weld run. When the trigger is released the
wire will stop feeding whilst adding a little time
for the output current and the gas shield to stay
running. The longer the time that the power and
gas stay on, the closer the wire will burn back to
the tip.
Spot/Stitch:
(0.5-5.0)
The time in seconds the weld arc is
active when the weld torch has been triggered
and held when spot mode is selected.
Gap: (0.1-5.0)
The time in seconds of no Weld Arc
before the next Weld Arc begins when the trigger
is held and spot mode is selected.
NOTE:
Spot and Gap functions are only available
within the function menu when spot mode
has been selected.
Inductance:
(-5 -+5)
This setting is used to change the MIG
waveform to simulate changing the inductance
of the welding circuit. Inductance controls the
rate of current rise and fall as the welding wire
contacts the workpiece. More inductance causes
a wider and more penetrating arc, useful for
thicker weld joints. Less inductance will create
a narrow more focused arc.
NOTE:
This setting can be accessed in both Syn-
ergic and Manual Mig mode by first pressing
the LH Mig Voltage knob to select the induct-
ance parameter and then by rotating the knob
for inductance adjustment. Pressing the LH Mig
Voltage knob again will exit the inductance ad-
justment screen.

Plate Thickness:
Selection of this parameter is achieved
in synergic mode by pressing the RH
wire speed/current knob until the plate
thickness light is lit. Rotate this knob
until the required plate thickness is se-
lected. Press this knob again to set the
selection. Synergic parameters will then
be set by the internal programme to give
you an excellent starting point to achieve
a superior weld.
