Recommendation: Make the first weld (6 seconds) with QSet™ on a test piece to obtain all
the correct data.
- Activation of QSet performed in the PROCESS MENU.
Synergy
Every combination of wire type, wire diameter and gas mixture requires a unique relationship
between wire feed speed and voltage (arc length) in order to ensure a stable arc. The
voltage (arc length) is automatically controlled in accordance with the preprogrammed
synergy line that has been selected by the welder, which makes it much easier to quickly find
the optimum welding parameters. The relationship between the wire feed speed and the
other parameters is referred to as the synergy characteristic or synergy line.
NOTE!
QSet™ function and Synergy function are mutually exclusive. If one is selected, the
other will be deselected. Both can be OFF.
Synergy ON: the MAIN MENU shows the set wire feed, as well as positive and negative
deviation from the synergy line's voltage.
Positive deviation is displayed with a bar above SYN, negative is displayed below.
Synergy OFF: the MAIN MENU shows the set value for voltage and wire feed.
- Activation of synergy performed in the PROCESS MENU.
Synergy line package
The synergy line package supplied with the machine is called “Standard synergic lines”.
It is also possible to order other packages of synergy lines, but these must be installed by an
authorised ESAB service engineer.
Display of amperage estimate
Given the chosen synergic line an amperage estimate is calculated using the current wire
feed speed. The setting is adjusted in the MAIN MENU, using soft key AMP.
The amperage estimate is displayed as a reference when the welder does not know what
wire feed speed to set. Depending on joint type and the stick out (contact tip to work piece
distance) that is used, there will be some deviation between amperage estimate and the
actual measured amperage. Large deviation might mean that stick out should be adjusted for
optimal weld results.
The amperage estimate is presented in the MAIN MENU when the wire feed speed or the
voltage is adjusted. The row showing wire feed speed in the display is replaced with
amperage estimate. During and after welding the welding current measure values are
displayed on the same row.
