Enables change WFS units:
"Metric" (factory default) = m/min;
"English" = in/min.
This option allows a memory to be recalled by quickly pulling and releasing the
gun trigger:
"Enable" = Selecting memories 2 through 9 by quickly pulling and releasing
the gun trigger. To recall a memory with the gun trigger, quickly pull and
release the trigger the number of times that correspond to the memory
number. For example, to recall memory 3, quickly pull and release the
trigger 3 times. Trigger memory recall can only be performed when the
system is not welding.
"Disable" (factory default) = Memory selection is performed only by the
Panel Buttons.
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.
Set the wire feed speed to 200 ipm.
3.
Remove wire from the pull wire drive.
4.
Hold an rpm meter to the drive roll in the pull gun.
5.
Pull the trigger on the push-pull gun.
6.
Measure the rpm of the pull motor. The rpm should be between 115
and 125 rpm. If necessary, decrease the calibration setting to slow the
pull motor, or increase the calibration setting to speed up the motor.
The calibration range is -30 to +30, with 0 as the default value.
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)
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.
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.
Determines how workpoint is displayed:
"No" (factory default) = The workpoint is displayed in the format defined in
the weld set.
"Yes" = All workpoint values are displayed as an amperage.
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
Use this option for diagnostic purposes only. When power is cycled, this option
is automatically reset to False.
"False" (default) = Voltage sensing is automatically determined by the
selected weld mode and other machine settings.
"True" = Voltage sensing is forced to "studs" of the power source.
