3.8  Interconnection cable set

The interconnection cable set contains several cables and 

hoses wrapped in a strong fabric sleeve equipped with 

a zipper. The cable set is used for delivering the welding 

power, shielding gas, cooling liquid, and control signals 

from the welding power source to the wire feeder.

The interconnection cable set is available with and without 

cooling hoses.

3.8.1  The arc measurement cable

The arc measurement cable is a part of the arc voltage 

measurement function, which is used to calibrate the 

actual arc voltage and power regardless of the welding 

cable diameter or length.

Connect the cable to the arc measurement input 

connector at the rear of the power source.

 

Connect the cable to the arc measurement 

output connector at the wire feeder.

 

For using the arc voltage calibration, connect a 

separate earth cable (included in the package) 

from the wire feeder to the work piece, near the 

weld joint.

  Check the route of the earth cable. Incorrect routing 

can cause damage to the cable or the robot when the 

robot is moving.

  When the system is ready to run, calibrate the power 

source by welding with 1-MIG, MIG or with Pulse MIG for 

at least 5 seconds, with the arc measurement cable and 

the earth cable connected. After calibration the earth 

cable can be detached, although it is recommended to 

use it always. The cable is required when monitoring arc 

voltage.

  Using the arc measurement cables affects the 

functionality of the touch sensor. See the 

A7 MIG Welder 

Operating manual

 for details.

  If you are using a sub-feeder, enter the length of 

the sub-feeder to the 

SubFeederLength

 parameter in the 

setup panel. This parameter is not available in the web 

user interface.
