Keypad - Seven key, membrane
type with “snap” tactile feel and
embossed domes. Long life
design. Spatter resistant surface.
Display - 3-1/2 digit 7-segment
LED with (+) or (-) polarity
indicators. .56” (14.2mm) character
height. Displays arc voltage in
volts, wire speed in IPM or m/m and
all timers in seconds.
Indicator Lights - Extra bright red
LED’s for viewing at almost any
angle. Always indicates the mode
being used and which function or
timer is being displayed. A function
and a timer light will never be on at
the same time since they can only
be displayed one at a time.
Function Select key enables operator to
choose which function will be displayed as
shown by the appropriate indicator light.
Pressing the key causes lights to sequence
(top to bottom) starting from the current
indicated position. The function displayed will
be adjustable with the rotating encoders or
arrow keys.
Top Light - Indicates display of preset voltage
or percent trim when not welding and arc
voltage while welding (as indicated by top light
“blinking”). The power source automatically
determines whether preset voltage or percent
trim will be displayed, and adjustable with
Volts/Trim rotating encoder control.
Middle Light - Indicates Run-in speed is being
displayed. As shipped, these models are setup
for a 50 IPM (1.27m/min) fixed run-in speed
with display function deactivated. They may be
user-selected to activate or deactivate
adjustable Run-in display.
Bottom Light - Indicates Weld Feed Speed
(WFS) is being displayed, and is adjustable
with the Wire Feed Speed rotating encoder
control.
Timer/Crater Select
key enables operator to
choose spot or gas timers, or crater speed as
indicated by the appropriate light. Pressing the
key causes lights to sequence (left to right, top
to bottom) starting from the current indicated
selection. Any parameter not available in the
mode selected is skipped over.
Top Left Light - indicates preflow time is being
displayed in seconds.
Top Right Light - indicates postflow time is
being displayed in seconds.
Middle Light - indicates Crater Feed Speed is
being displayed. This display will only occur if
4-step mode with crater fill is selected.
Bottom Light - indicates spot on time is being
displayed in seconds.
Increase arrow key increases the setting of
the parameter selected to be displayed.
Arrow keys do not function for Wire Feed
Speed or Volts/Trim settings, which are
adjusted using the rotating encoder knobs.
Decrease
arrow key decreases the setting of
the parameter selected to be displayed.
Arrow keys do not function for Wire Feed
Speed or Volts/Trim settings, which are
adjusted using the rotating encoder knobs.
Cold Feed key energizes the wire
feeder but not the power source or
solenoid valve. Cold feed speed is
adjustable and is displayed only
while pressing Cold Inch, and the
last speed selected is stored in
memory for next Cold feeding.
Gas Purge
key energizes the
solenoid valve but not the wire
feeder or power source.
Mode Select
key enables operator
to choose mode of operation shown
by the indicator lights. Pressing key
causes mode lights to sequence
(top to bottom) starting from the
current indicated selection.
Top Light - Indicates 2-step
(standard) trigger mode.
