Parameter Definition
P.16 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 push-
pull 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. This setting is useful when the operator wishes to have wire feed speed settings recalled
from memories and not have the potentiometer "overwrite" the setting. Gun Pot Proc A = When
in procedure A, the welding wire feed speed is controlled by the potentiometer on the push-pull
gun. When in procedure B, the welding wire feed speed is controlled by the left front panel
knob. This setting allows a fixed wire feed speed to be selected in procedure.
P.17 Remote Control Type
This setup parameter was previously named "Spool/Push-Pull".
This option selects the type of analog remote control being used. Digital remote control
devices (those with a digital display) are configured automatically. Not all P.17 selections will
be available on all machines. When P.17 is used to configure the remote control to function in a
specific process, the remote will be ignored in other processes. For example, if P.17 = TIG
Amp Control, the remote control will only function when TIG welding - the remote will be
ignored in other processes (MIG, stick and gouge).
Spool Gun = Use this setting while MIG welding with a spool gun that uses a potentiometer
used for wire feed speed control (this setting is backward compatible with "P.17 Gun Selection"
= Standard/Spool).
Push-Pull Gun = Use this setting wile MIG welding with a push-pull gun that uses a potentiome-
ter 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 knob on the User Interface sets the maximum cur-
rent 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 knob on the User Interface sets the maximum current
obtained when the stick remote is at itʼs maximum setting. While gouging, the upper left knob
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. This setting was
provided so that customers with a mix of Lincoln Electric equipment can have consistent
remote control behavior across all of their equipment. (N. American default)
Joystick MIG Gun = 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. (European
default)
P.20 Display Trim as Volts Options
This option determines how trim is displayed.
False = The trim is displayed in the format defined in the weld set (default).
True = All trim values are displayed as a voltage.
