Setup Screen Terms:
Access Code NOTE: The optional Data Card is required to activate this feature. With code
off, access to the setup displays is not restricted. With code on, the operator
must know and enter the access code to access or change any of the setup
displays.
To use code, press Parameter Select button to enter access code. When the
correct letter is entered, the indicator automatically moves to the next charac-
ter. When the final access code letter is entered, the display automatically
changes to the initial setup display.
Arc Start NOTE: Do not use the Hot Start setting for .035 in (9 mm) or smaller wire. Use
the Hot Start mode for pulse welding with 450 Ampere Inverter Model when
high initial weld current is necessary to start large diameter welding wires.
When in Hot Start, the 450 Ampere Inverter Model starts the arc in the CV
mode and switches to CC once the arc is started. Do not use Hot Start unless
using 450 Ampere Inverter Model.
Arc Time Allows actual arc time up to 9,999.99 hours and weld cycles up to 999,999 to
be accumulated and displayed on the digital display, and can be reset to zero
as required.
Mig Type (Voltage
Correction)
With DVC Voltage Correction On, the unit uses closed-loop feedback from the
17-pin cord or voltage sensing leads to maintain set voltage parameters. With
DVC Voltage Correction Off, feedback from the arc is not used for closed-loop
feedback to maintain voltage parameters. Feedback from the arc is still used
for other functions.
Be sure voltage sensing leads are connected or voltage feedback is available
through the 17-pin receptacle via the welding power source.
Name Feature When using the optional Data Card and turning the name feature on, programs
written to the card can be identified by name, number, job number, etc.
Program Reset By selecting program reset in the memory reset mode, the unit defaults to origi-
nal factory program settings for the program last active. All other program and
setup information remains the same.
Range The interface requires that the voltage and amperage range of the welding
power source be entered. Obtain this information from the welding power
source Owner’s Manual.
Security NOTE: The optional Data Card is required to activate this feature. Is used to
limit what the operator can control. This includes accessing the number of the
program, 1 through 8, and the range of welding parameters within the program.
Software Screen Selection of this function will display the software version of the unit. When
talking with factory service personnel, this number may be required.
System Reset By selecting system reset in the memory reset mode, the unit defaults to origi-
nal factory settings for all programs and all set up excluding System, Arc Time,
and Model Type.
Voltage (Control Feedback) Allows voltage to be monitored at the output terminals by two methods. This
can be selected through the 17-pin cord connection if the welding power source
has a 17-pin receptacle, or through the unit’s external voltage sense lead.
If the 17 Pin setting is used, it is recommended that the voltage sensing termi-
nals on the welding power source be used to monitor arc voltage at the work-
piece.
When using the V. Sense setting, arc voltage feedback is through the voltage
sense leads connected to the feeder. Use this setting when there is more than
50 ft (15 m) of weld cable used.
Arc Start/Volt Sense
Shutdown
When this feature is on, the system immediately shuts down if no arc voltage is
sensed. An error message is displayed. When this feature is off, wire feeds
even when there is no arc voltage sensed.
Wire Feed Mode Allows the selection of inches per minute or meters per minute for wire feed
speed. This mode is also used to select motor type; standard speed, low
speed, or high speed. High speed motor is available as factory option.
