CHANGING ARC WAVE CONTROL
If the selected weld mode uses any of the four available
wave controls, users can press the left MSP4 pushbutton
until the ARC CONTROL
LED is illuminated. The value,
name and units (if applicable) of the available wave con-
trols will appear. Note that the name of the control is
derived from the weld table and may not necessarily
appear as "Wave Control". Repeated pressing of the left
MSP4 pushbutton will cycle through all active wave con-
trols and then the weld mode. Turning the MSP4 encoder
will change the value of the displayed wave control.
CHANGING WELD SEQUENCE BEHAVIOR
Weld sequencing attributes are grouped into two cate-
gories, STAR
T OPTIONS and END OPTIONS. START
OPTIONS may include Preflow Time, Run-in Wire Feed
Speed, and Start Time. END OPTIONS may include
Crater Time, Burnback Time and Postflow Time. The
attributes that appear in the START and END OPTIONS
are weld mode dependent. For example, if a TIG weld
mode is selected, Run-in WFS will not appear since it is
not relevant to the selected process. Repeated pressing
of the right MSP4 pushbutton will cycle through all rele-
vant START and END OPTIONS. Turning the MSP4
encoder will change the value of the selected option.
When the Start Time attribute is set to a value other than
OFF, the START OPTIONS LED will blink synchronous
with the WFS and VOLTS/TRIM LED’s on the dual-display
panel. This blinking is used to indicate that start wire feed
speed and voltage/trim can now be set to values different
from those used while welding. Similarly, if the Crater
Time attribute is set to a value other than OFF, the END
OPTIONS LED will blink synchronously with the dual-dis-
play LED’s, indicating that crater wire feed speed and
voltage/trim now can be set to values different from those
used while welding.
INFRARED (IR) CONTROL
The MSP4 interface includes an infrared transceiver. This
allows wireless machine configuration using a Palm OS
based hand held computer.
A proprietary Palm OS appli-
cation, ALPalm, was developed for this purpose. (Contact
Lincoln Electric for more information on this feature.)
LOCKOUT/SECURITY
The MSP4 can be optionally configured to prevent the
welder from changing selected MSP4 options. By default,
the welder will be able to change the weld mode, all rele-
vant wave controls and all relevant start and end options.
