The correct wire speed is not known and is to be determined.
• Select the appropriate JOB (see "JOB list" sticker)
• Switch to the material thickness display
• Set the material thickness as appropriate (e.g. 5 mm)
• Switch to the wire speed display
The resulting wire speed will be shown (e.g. 8.4 m/min).

Accessory components for operating point setting
The operating point can also be set with various accessory components such as
• remote
controls
• special
torches
• PC
software
• robot and industrial bus interfaces (optional mechanised welding interface required – not possible for
all machines in this series!)
You will find an overview of accessory components in the "Accessories" chapter. See the operating
instructions for the machine in question for a more detailed description of the individual machines and
their functions.
