A welding procedure is made up of seven compo-
nents: process, material type, wire diameter, program,
wire feed speed, voltage or arc length trim, and wave
control. A new welding procedure is created by
selecting a combination of these components from the
ones that have been programmed into the Power
Wave. See Figure B.4 for key locations.
NOTE: The following four selections should
always be performed in this order: process, elec-
trode class, electrode size, electrode/gas type.
Selecting a setting for one component narrows
your choice of available settings in remaining com-
ponents. This is why the order of performing the
steps is important. However, if you make compo-
nent selections out of order, the machine will
prompt you to make a new selection for any set-
tings that do not apply.
2. PROCESS SELECT KEY: Use the PROCESS
SELECT key to select from the processes avail-
able in the machine. Press the PROCESS
SELECT key until the light by the desired process
is lit.
