OPERATION

APEX

3 SERIES TIG PENDANT MANUAL

Mode Select

The weld mode is determined by the wire size, type,
process and type of gas being used. Refer to the
Power Wave

operator’s manual for additional informa-

tion about weld modes. The system can be a guide
when the user is not sure which mode is appropriate
for their application.

Pressing the Modes selection button will take the user

to the Mode Select Screen.

The available weld modes are displayed in sequential

order. These available modes depend on the available

equipment.

Use the left toggle or turn the steering knob to choose

an available weld mode then press the Enter Selection

button to select the mode as the current weld mode.

Advanced Process Setup

Certain weld modes have advanced settings specific

to that mode or process. Pressing the ADV Selection

button on the Process Setup screen will present the

user with the advanced options associated with the

selected weld mode, see

FIGURE 22

and

FIGURE 23

- Advanced Process Setup and Advanced Process
with Hot Wire.

When Hot Wire equipment is available

and Hot Wire is enabled, the advanced screen also
displays the Hot Wire weld mode.

Advanced Options

Options available depend on the selected weld mode.

See the Power Wave settings for a full breakdown and

explanation of advanced options.

Wave Controls

Some typical wave controls are:

•  Frequency
•  Background
•  Transition Speed

Note: Wave controls are limited to 12 characters when

displayed on the screen, e.g.,“Transition Speed” will be

displayed as “Transition S.”
