When P.0 is displayed, press the left Mode Select button to exit the setup menu. Wire Feed Speed Units This option selects which units to use for displaying wire feed speed. English = inches/minute wire feed speed units (default). Metric = meters/minute wire feed speed units. P.
b-12 OPERATION b-12 USER DEFINED PARAMETERS Parameter P.5 Definition Procedure Change Method This option selects how remote procedure selection (A/B) will be made. The selected procedure can be changed locally at the user interface by pressing the 'A-Gun-B' button. The following methods can be used to remotely change the selected procedure: * Use an external switch wired to the procedure select input. * Quickly releasing and re-pulling the gun trigger.
b-13 OPERATION b-13 USER DEFINED PARAMETERS Parameter P.7 Definition Gun Offset Adjustment This option adjusts the wire feed speed calibration of the pull motor of a push-pull gun. This should only be performed when other possible corrections do not solve any push-pull feeding problems. An rpm meter is required to perform the pull gun motor offset calibration. To perform the calibration procedure do the following: 1. Release the pressure arm on both the pull and push wire drives. 2.
b-14 OPERATION b-14 USER DEFINED PARAMETERS Parameter P.16 Definition Push-Pull Gun Knob behavior This option determines how the potentiometer on the Push/Pull torch will behave. Gun Pot Enabled = The welding wire feed speed is always controlled by the potentiometer on the pushpull gun (default). The left front panel knob is only used to adjust Start and Crater wire feed speed. Gun Pot Disabled = The wire feed speed is always controlled by the left front panel knob.
b-15 OPERATION b-15 USER DEFINED PARAMETERS Parameter P.99 Definition Show Test Modes Most power sources contain weld modes used for calibration and test purposes. By default, the machine does not include test weld modes in the list of weld modes that are available to the operator. To manually select a test weld mode, set this option to "Yes". When the power source is turned off and back on again, the test modes will no longer appear in the mode list.
b-16 OPERATION b-16 USER DEFINED PARAMETERS Parameter P.501 Definition Encoder Lockout Locks one or both of the upper knobs (encoders), preventing the operator from changing wire feed speed, amps, volts or trim. The function of each upper knob depends on the selected weld mode. When a costant current weld mode is selected (e.g. Stick, TIG, Gouge), the upper right knob will always function as an on/off switch. This parameter can only be accessed using Power Wave Manager software. P.
b-17 OPERATION b-17 USER DEFINED PARAMETERS Parameter P.506 Definition Set User Interface Passcode Prevents unauthorized changes to the equipment. The default passcode is zero which allows full access. A nonzero passcode will prevent unauthorized: changes to memory limits, saving to memory (if P.502 = Yes), changes to setup parameters (if P.505 = Yes). This parameter can only be accessed using Power Wave Manager software. P.
b-18 OPERATION 4. COLD FEED / GAS PURGE SWITCH Cold Feed and Gas Purge are combined into a two position momentary toggle switch. To activate Cold Feeding, hold the switch in the UP position. The wire drive will feed electrode but neither the power source nor the gas solenoid will be energized. Keeping the electrode and gun electrically “cold”. Adjust the speed of cold feeding by rotating the WFS knob. • This feature is useful for threading the electrode through the gun.
b-19 OPERATION 2 STEP TRIGGER OPERATION (See Figure B.4) Sometimes it is advantageous to set specific arc start, crater and arc ending parameters for the ideal weld. Many times when welding aluminum crater control is necessary to make a good weld. This is done by setting Start, Crater and Burnback functions to desired values. b-19 3. START & UPSLOPE: As soon as the trigger is pulled, this starts preflow.
b-20 OPERATION 4 STEP TRIGGER OPERATION (See Figure B.5) The 4 step trigger sequence gives the most flexibility when the Start, Crater and Burnback functions are active. This is a popular choice when welding aluminum because extra heat may be needed during Start and less heat desired during Crater. With 4 step trigger, the welder chooses the amount of time to weld at the Start, Weld and Crater settings by using the gun trigger.
b-21 b-21 OPERATION PROCESS SETUP AND OPERATION The Power Feed/Power Wave system delivers world class arc performance for a wide variety of processes. Using the foundation of Waveform Control Technology™, each weld mode is precisely tuned to meet exacting standards for low spatter, weld bead profile and arc shape. Customized welding software means even the most difficult materials can by welded with the Power Feed/Power Wave system.
b-22 b-22 OPERATION STEEL AND STAINLESS SYNERGIC GMAW-P (PULSED MIG) WELDING Synergic GMAW-P (Pulsed MIG) welding is ideal for low spatter, out of position and reduced heat input applications. During pulse welding, the welding current continuously switches from a low level to a high level and then back again. Each pulse sends a small droplet of molten metal from the wire to the weld puddle. Pulse welding controls the arc length with 'Trim' instead of voltage.
b-23 b-23 OPERATION ALUMINUM SYNERGIC GMAW-P (PULSED MIG)AND GMAW-PP (PULSE ON PULSE) WELDING The Power Feed™ 10M Single Wire Feeder and Power Wave welding power source combine to readily produce top quality aluminum welds with excellent appearance, little spatter and good bead shape. Pushpull guns are available for consistent feeding when welding a long distance away from the wire feeder. FIGURE B.7e Frequency Modulation = 10 Narrow weld and ripple spacing, fast travel speed.
