P.9 

Crater Delay 

This option is used to skip the Crater sequence when making short tack 
welds. If the trigger is released before the timer expires, Crater will be 
bypassed and the weld will end. If the trigger is released after the timer 
expires, the Crater sequence will function normally (if enabled). 

  OFF (0) to 10.0 seconds (default = Off) 

P.17 

Remote Control Type 

This option selects the type of analog remote control being used. Digital 
remote control devices (those with a digital display) are configured 
automatically. 

  "Push-Pull Gun" = Use this setting while MIG welding with a push-pull 

gun that uses a potentiometer for wire feed speed control (this setting 
is backward compatible with "P.17 Gun Selection" = PushPull). 

  "TIG Amp Control" = Use this setting while TIG welding with a foot or 

hand current control device (Amptrol). While TIG welding, the upper 
left Control on the User Interface sets the maximum current obtained 
when the TIG amp control is at its maximum setting. 

  "Stick/Gouge Rem." = Use this setting while stick welding or gouging 

with a remote output control device. While stick welding, the upper left 
Control on the User Interface sets the maximum current obtained 
when the stick remote is at its maximum setting. While gouging, the 
upper left Control is disabled and the gouging current is set on the 
remote control. 

  "All Mode Remote" = This setting allows the remote control to function 

in all weld modes which is how most machines with 6-pin and 7-pin 
remote control connections operate. 

  "Joystick MIG Gun" (European default) = Use this setting while MIG 

welding with a push MIG gun with a joystick control. Stick, TIG and 
gouge welding currents are set at the User Interface. 

Note:

 On machines that do not have a 12-pin connector, the "Joystick 

MIG Gun" settings will not appear. 

P.20 

Display Trim as Volts Option 

Determines how trim is displayed 

  "No" (factory default) = The trim is displayed in the format defined in 

the weld set. 

  "Yes" = All trim values are displayed as a voltage. 

Note:

 This option may not be available on all machines. The power 

source must support this functionality, or this option will not appear in the 
menu. 

P.22 

Arc Start/Loss Error Time 

This option can be used to optionally shut off output if an arc is not 
established, or is lost for a specified amount of time. Error 269 will be 
displayed if the machine times out. If the value is set to OFF, machine 
output will not be turned off if an arc is not established nor will output be 
turned off if an arc is lost. The trigger can be used to hot feed the wire 
(default). If a value is set, the machine output will shut off if an arc is not 
established within the specified amount of time after the trigger is pulled 
or if the trigger remains pulled after an arc is lost. To prevent nuisance 
errors, set Arc Start/Loss Error Time to an appropriate value after 
considering all welding parameters (run-in wire feed speed, weld wire 
feed speed, electrical stick out, etc.). To prevent subsequent changes to 
Arc Start/Loss Error Time, the setup menu should be locked out by setting 
Preference Lock = Yes using the Power Wave Manager software. 

Note:

 This parameter is disabled while welding in Stick, TIG or Gouge.
