Controls and indicators
General
Setting parameters at control panels is only possible in manual welding mode.
In the automated welding mode or in robot welding, the robot control provides the set val-
ues for the welding parameters. Specifying command values via control panels is not pos-
sible in automated welding mode or in robot welding.

WARNING!
Operating the equipment incorrectly can cause serious injury and
damage. Do not use the functions described here until you have fully read and
understood the following documents:
-
These operating instructions
-
all the operating instructions for the system components, especially the safe-
ty rules
IMPORTANT!
Welding parameters that must be entered on a wire-feed unit control panel
cannot be changed on the power source. Welding parameters can only be changed on the
wire-feed unit.
Standard control panel
(1)
Welding power/wire speed adjust-
er
-
Setting the welding power
(during MIG/MAG pulse synergic
welding, MIG/MAG standard
synergic welding)
-
Setting the wire speed
(during MIG/MAG standard man-
ual welding)
(2)
Arc length/arc-force dynamic adjuster
has a different function depending on the welding process being used
-
Correcting the arc length
(during MIG/MAG pulse synergic welding, MIG/MAG standard synergic weld-
ing)
- = shorter arc length
0 = neutral arc length
+ = longer arc length
-
Setting the welding voltage
(during MIG/MAG standard manual welding)
-
Influencing the short circuit amperage at the instant of droplet transfer
(during MMA welding)
0 = soft, low-spatter arc
100 = harder and more stable arc
