MIG 353DPi
Front Panel Description and Explanation:
1.
Synergic Function. The Synergic function is used to simplify setup and improve results while welding. It eliminates the need
for the operator to know complex algorithms or to have extensive experience at setting up complex parameters related to MIG
welding, especially Pulse parameters. The Synergic function of the Power i
-
MIG 353DPi applies to non
-
pulse, single pulse
and double pulse forms of MIG welding. In standard non
-
pulse MIG (CO
2
)mode, the synergic function is optional and can be
turned on and off. However, in all pulse MIG modes, the synergic light will stay illuminated as a reminder of function and
cannot be deselected (turned
-
off). To select for Synergic operation simply press the button to illuminate the LED located
directly over the button. Then, select the relevant parameters in items #5 and #6 (see reference picture on previous page for
comparison). Note: The synergic non
-
pulse MIG mode is designed and intended for steel operation with Ar/CO2 or 100%
CO2 shielding gas. The operation, theory and differences in Synergic non
-
pulse MIG mode, Synergic Single Pulse MIG mode
and Synergic Double Pulse MIG modes are discussed in more detail later in this manual. Please see the separate sections
dealing with Basic MIG welding and Pulse MIG welding for more information.
2.
Volts/Function Display and LEDs. The Volt/Function display works in conjunction with the LEDs directly below the display to indicate the
values of specific functions. As the
“
Select Parameter
”
button (#10) is pressed, the LEDs will light up, one at a time while progressing
through the parameter menu (graph). The LED indicates which function value is currently being shown in the display. The list of functions
controlled in this display are: Volts (V), Hertz (Hz), Seconds in tenths/thousandths (.S), and Percentage (%). Each one of these represents
a value of a parameter listed in the graphical parameter representation of the welding functions below in #6. NOTE: Depending upon which
mode is selected, not all LED
’
s will be highlighted as you scroll through the parameters. The default function represented in the display is
Volts. After adjusting or selecting each function, the unit will return to the Volt setting automatically within 3 seconds. While welding, this
display changes from set voltage to dynamically display actual welding voltage output while welding.
3.
Amps Display and Warning LEDs. The Amps display is a single purpose display and is used only to display selected Amps or dynamic
Amp output, depending on whether or not the unit is actually welding. The actual Amp output will vary somewhat in standard modes and
will actually display a different Amp output in pulse mode since the unit figures an
“
average value
”
of the pulse Amps. During Amp selec-
tion, in Pulse mode, you are only selecting for the
“
Welding Amps
”
and not the Pulse values. The synergic function of the Pulse mode
takes over and figures the balance of the pulse settings which will create a displayed Amp output while welding that is slightly different than
set. However, this should not be of concern, other than a reference of overall heat going into the weld. Keep in mind that when you are
adjusting Amp output, you are also adjusting wire speed. While wire speed is commonly used as a reference in lower tier MIG welders, it
is not the most accurate way of adjustment and measurement. Wire speed only gives you a reference of Inches of wire delivered to the
weld in one minute. However, if you are to swap the wire spool and change wire diameter, the same wire feed setting used with the first
roll will not produce the same amp output in the second roll because the wire diameters are different. With lower tier welders, you often
don
’
t have an option to program the wire diameter into the machine, so wire speed is the only figure that can be used as a referenced value
until the unit starts welding and a built
-
in sensor can measure and display the actual Amps being delivered to the weld. With this unit,
even in standard mode, you are able to input the wire diameter, from
.030”
to
.045”.
This ensures the most precise method of regulating
the weld parameters. As a reminder: Always remember to select the wire diameter first so that the amps can be correctly displayed during
adjustment. With wires larger or smaller than the listed wire diameter calibrations included in #5, select the nearest diameter to the size that
is installed. While this won
’
t be 100% accurate, it can be used as a relative reference for setup. In this case, you, may have to rely on
sight and sound to accurately set up the welder, as you would with a MIG without a display. See conversion factors found later in this
manual for figuring approximate wire speed and amperage. (Continued on next page)
