USER INTERFACE PROGRAMMING
• Turn off the power to the Power Wave 300C
• Insert the USB stick into the USB port on the user
interface.
• A message will appear asking if you want to perform
a Display Software Update. Turn the center knob to
highlight “Yes” in red. Press the center knob to start
the update.
• Once a message appears stating display updated
successfully, the unit will restart and return to a
typical welding screen.
• Remove the USB stick from the 300C’s USB port.

ARC FORCE SOFT (-10.0) TO
CRISP (10.0)
ARC FORCE ADJUSTS THE SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT FOR A SOFT ARC, OR
FOR A FORCEFUL, DRIVING ARC. IT HELPS TO PREVENT STICKING AND
SHORTING OF ORGANIC COATED ELECTRODES, PARTICULARITY GLOBULAR
TRANSFER TYPES SUCH AS STAINLESS AND LOW HYDROGEN. ARC FORCE
IS ESPECIALLY EFFECTIVE FOR ROOT PASS ON PIPE WITH STAINLESS
ELECTRODE AND HELPS TO MINIMIZE SPATTER FOR CERTAIN ELECTRODES
AND PROCEDURE AS WITH LOW HYDROGEN, ETC.

FCAW
PINCH
SOFT (-10.0) TO
CRISP (10.0)
PINCH CONTROLS THE ARC CHARACTERISTICS WHEN SHORT-ARC
WELDING.
MIG
ULTIMARC SOFT (-10.0) TO
STIFF (10.0)
ULTIMARC REGULATES THE FOCUS OR SHAPE OF THE ARC. ULTIMARC
VALUES GREATER THAN 0.0 INCREASE THE PULSE FREQUENCY WHILE
DECREASING THE BACKGROUND CURRENT, RESULTING IN A TIGHT, STIFF
ARC BEST FOR HIGH SPEED SHEET METAL WELDING. ULTIMARC VALUES
LESS THAN 0.0 DECREASE THE PULSE FREQUENCY WHILE INCREASING THE
BACKGROUND CURRENT, FOR A SOFT ARC GOOD FOR OUT-OF-POSITION
WELDING.

DESCRIPTION
1. This function controls the frequency of the AC wave in cycles per second. A lower
frequency results in a wider bead. A higher frequency results in a more focused bead.
2. Set for bead shape and travel speed: Higher for thinner plate and faster travel. Lower for
thicker plate and slower travel.
3. Sets the Background Current as a percentage of Peak Current.
4. AC balance controls the amount of time, as a percentage, that the polarity is electrode
negative. A lower AC Balance results in an arc with increased cleaning action. A higher
AC Balance results in an arc with higher penetration.
• Turn on the power to the Power Wave 300C and
wait for the initialization sequence to complete.
