OPERATING MANUAL
6. Control Panel Operation
6.1 Voltage Adjustment Knob
Provides digital adjustment of voltage in MIG and MIG Synergic.
•
Turn the knob
to increase or decrease the desired value displayed on the
LED display.
6.2 Amperage / Wire Speed Adjustment Knob
Provides digital adjustment of wire speed in MIG, and adjustment of amperage in MIG
Synergic, TIG and STICK.
•
Turn the knob
to increase or decrease the desired value displayed on the
LED display.
6.4 Weld Mode Selector
Enables selection of required welding mode:
• MMA
• TIG
• MIG
6.5 MIG Torch Mode Selector
Controls the on/off cycle of the machine using the torch trigger while incorporating the
weld program parameters:
•
2T
(two touch) means you will need to hold the trigger down on your torch while you
weld.
•
4T
(four touch) means you will only need to pull the trigger to ignite the arc and the torch
will continue to weld until you pull it again to turn it off.
6.3 Inductance Adjustment Knob
Inductance is what allows you to change the frequency of your short circuit – how often
the wire touches the joint in the circuit’s cycle.
The lower your inductance setting, the more frequently your weld will short circuit. Less metal is
being added, so the bead is narrower and freezes faster. A low inductance is generally used on
thinner metals when you want to avoid burning through.
The higher your inductance setting, the less frequently your weld will short circuit. If you set the
machine to 100% inductance, you would get a soft, fluid weld pool that wets into the toes well.
