General Terms:
Arc Control Pressing this button will allow setting of inductance in MIG mode and arc control in pulse, Accu-pulse,
and RMD (optional). In pulse and Accu-pulse mode this adjustment changes the arc cone by
adjusting the preprogrammed factory pulse data. In RMD (optional) this control will affect the arc in
much the same way as inductance.
Inductance In short circuit GMAW welding, an increase in inductance will decrease the number of short circuit
transfers per second (provided no other changes are made) and increase the arc-on time. The
increased arc-on time makes the welding puddle more fluid.
Adjust Control knob used to change or set parameters and functions.
Sequence Selecting Sequence will allow setting of preflow, start, crater, and postflow times and parameters (only
available on Auto Axcess models in the Arc On and Analog input or the Arc On and No Analog input
modes).
Preflow Setting a time value for gas flow prior to arc start (only available on Auto Axcess models in the Arc On
and Analog input or the Arc On and No Analog input modes, and can only be set with the optional
PDA with File Management software).
Start Provides voltage/arc adjust, wire feed rate, and time value for modified arc starts (only available on
Auto Axcess models in the Arc On and Analog input or the Arc On and No Analog input modes, and
can only be set with the optional PDA with File Management software).
Weld Sequence function that allows for a timed weld operation [(0 to 999 seconds) only available on Auto
Axcess models in the Arc On and Analog input or the Arc On and No Analog input modes, and can
only be set with the optional PDA with File Management software].
Crater Allows setting of voltage/arc adjust, wire feed rate, and time value for arc ends (only available on Auto
Axcess models in the Arc On and Analog input or the Arc On and No Analog input modes, and can
only be set with the optional PDA with File Management software).
Postflow Setting a time value for gas flow after arc end (only available on Auto Axcess models in the Arc On
and Analog input or the Arc On and No Analog input modes, and can only be set with the optional
PDA with File Management software).
Retract Sequence function that allows the wire to move back towards the contact tip when a welding opera-
tion is completed. Setting is both speed (IPM) and time (sec), (only available on Auto Axcess models
in the Arc On and Analog input or the Arc On and No Analog input modes, and can only be set with
the optional PDA with File Management software).
Feeder Set Up Allow selection of Sequence functions.
Auto Thread Method of jogging wire without holding jog or trigger switch. Pressing Jog and Retract simultaneously
will automatically feed wire. Default setting is 192 at a feed rate of 700 ipm (these values can be
changed using a PDA with File Management software). Pressing jog, purge, or trigger switch will
terminate the auto-threading feature.
Output A Relay and
Output B Relay
Normally open, programmable output relays that allow the user to select when these relays turn on or
off during a weld sequence.
Arc Established Relay Normally open relay that energizes when an arc is established.
Error Output Relay Normally open relay that energizes when an error condition occurs.
Contactor Input When this is input is shorted to input common, machine output turns on. When this input is open,
machine output is off.
Remote Program Select A,
Remote Program Select B, and
Remote Program Select C
These inputs provide remote control of weld program selection when these inputs are shorted to input
common. The remote program selection feature is on by default, to turn this feature off see Section
5-5.
