Adjusting welding parameters
1. Turn the right control knob to highlight the desired welding parameter.
2. Press the right control knob to select the welding parameter for adjustment.
3. Turn the right control knob to adjust welding parameter value.
>> Depending on the parameter to be adjusted, refer also to the Welding parameters table below for more
details.
4. Confirm the new value / selection and close the adjustment view by pressing the right control knob.
Saving welding parameters for later use
A work channel is automatically created for the changed welding parameters. To save the set welding parameters on
a memory channel, do one of the following:
• Quick active channel option:Keep the Channels shortcut button pressed for approximately 2 seconds.
>> This will save the parameter settings onto the currently active channel replacing its previous parameter set-
tings.
• Channels view option:Go to the Channels view and save the parameter settings onto a new channel.
>> Refer to "Auto control panel: Memory channels" on page70 for more information.
MIG and 1-MIG welding parameters
The parameters listed here are available for adjustment with the MIG and 1-MIG processes.
Parameter Parameter value Description
Trigger logic
2T, 4T Welding guns can haveseveral alternative
trigger operation modes (trigger logics).
Most common are 2T and 4T. In 2T mode
you hold thetrigger down whilewelding.
In 4T mode you press and release the trig-
ger to start or to stop welding.
Touch Sense Ignition
OFF/ON Touch Sense Ignition delivers minimum
spatter and stabilizes the arc immediately
after ignition.
Start arc length
-30 .. .+30 Start arc settings affect the arc length and
duration at the ignition start.
Start arc time
-30 ... +30
Post current
-30 ... +30 Post current setting affects the wirelength
at the weld end, for exampleto prevent
the wire from stopping too close to the
weld pool. This also enablestheoptimum
wirelength for the start of thenext weld.
Dynamics
-10.0 ... +10.0, step 0.2
Default = 0
Controls theshort circuit behavior of the
arc. The lower the valuethesofter the arc,
the higherthe valuetherougherthe arc.
WF end step
OFF/ON
Default = OFF
Wirefeed end step featureprevents the
filler wirefrom sticking to the work piece
when the welding ends. This is accom-
plished by pulling thewireback briefly.
