mode.
To access hot start parameters, press the
SETUP (1) button until SPWR appears in
the left display.
SPWR − Start Power
Range for start power is 100-250 as a per-
cent of wire feed speed.
. SPWR maximum setting will depend
on set wire feed speed and may not
allow a setting of 250 under certain
conditions.
STMR − Start Time
Time range is 0.0-0.5 seconds for hot start
to be on.
STRL − Start Arc Length
Range for start arc length is 0-99 that
changes arc length from shorter to longer.
RMPT − Ramp Time
Time range is 0.1-5.0 for the time it takes to
go from hot start to set wire feed speed.
. The two parameters that will have the
largest influence on hot start are Start
Power and Start Time. These two pa-
rameters will determine how much
heat is provided and for how long at
the beginning of the weld.
To exit this menu, press the SETUP (1)
button.
