Spot Timer
Sets the length of time for welding when the
trigger is pulled. If the trigger is released
before the Spot Timer is complete, welding
stops.
This option has no effect in 4-Step Trigger
Mode.
Crater Time,
WFS and Volts
0 – 10.0
seconds
Auto,
Crater Procedure controls the WFS and volts
for a specified time at the end of the weld
after the trigger is released. During the Crater
time, the machine will ramp up or down from
the Weld Procedure to the Crater Procedure.
Crater is not commonly used with STT
processes.
Burnback Time
0 – 0.25
seconds
The burnback time is the amount of time that
the weld output continues after the wire stops
feeding. It prevents the wire from sticking in
the puddle and prepares the end of the wire
for the next arc start.
Postflow Time
0 – 25.0
seconds
Adjusts the time that shielding gas flows after
the welding output turns off.
GTAW (TIG)
Postflow Time
0 – 25.0
seconds
Adjusts the time that shielding gas flows after
the welding output turns off.
Wire Drive Selection
The wire drive selection is active when a dual wire drive
or more than one single wire drive is connected to the
user interface. When a single wire drive (Power Feed
84) is connected, Wire Drive 1 LED is always
illuminated.
Pressing the button toggles the active wire drive
between 1 and 2. The active wire drive may also be
selected by pulling the gun trigger on wire drive 1 or 2.
LED “1” or “2” illuminates to indicate the active wire
drive.
When the active wire drive is switched, all parameters of
the active drive from the last active procedure are loaded
into the display.
If contactors are installed, the power path is routed to the
appropriate wire drive or gouging stud.
Cold Feed
Pressing the Cold Feed rocker switch feeds wire forward
at the indicated speed for as long as the switch is held.
When the user interface is mounted in a separate control
box, Cold Feed may be active by the rocker switch on
the side of the feeder or the rocker switch on the side of
the control box.
The power source output remains OFF during Cold
Feeding.
