VIPER MIG 165
OPERATING MANUAL
6.4 Weld Mode Selector
Enables selection of required welding mode:
• MMA
• TIG
• MIG
6.5 MIG Torch Mode Selector
Controls the on/off cycle of the machine using the torch trigger while incorporating the
weld program parameters:
•
2T
(two times) (1) Pull the trigger and hold it in, the welding will start and remain welding
while you hold the trigger on.
(2) Release the trigger and the welding stops.
•
4T
(four times) (1) Pull the trigger and (2) release, the welding will start and continue weld.
(3) Pull the trigger and (4) release, the welding will stop.
6.3 Inductance Adjustment Knob
Inductance is what allows you to change the frequency of your short circuit – how often
the wire touches the joint in the circuit’s cycle.
The lower your inductance setting, the more frequently your weld will short circuit. Less metal is
being added, so the bead is narrower and freezes faster. A low inductance is generally used on
thinner metals when you want to avoid burning through.
The higher your inductance setting, the less frequently your weld will short circuit. If you set the
machine to 100% inductance, you would get a soft, fluid weld pool that wets out well.
7. Synergic Settings Operation
7.1 Synergic Selector
Activate Synergic mode while MIG is selected.
7.2 Wire Size Selector
Enables selection of MIG wire diameter in Synergic mode.
7.3 Wire Type Selector
Enables selection of MIG wire type in Synergic mode.
