SECTION 6 − OPERATION
6-1. Operational Terms
. See Menu Guide for detailed programming steps.
The following is a list of terms and their definitions as they apply to this wire feeder:
General Terms:
Adaptive Pulse Welding The wire feeder automatically regulates pulse frequency to maintain a constant arc length, regardless
of change in welding wire stickout.
Cold Wire Jog When weld amperage is not present, wire feeds for about three seconds at set wire feed speed. Then
the welding power source contactor deenergizes and wire continues to feed at the wire jog speed.
Inductance As inductance increases, arc on time increases, and the weld puddle becomes more fluid.
SharpArc™ Arc cone width and arc characteristics adjustment in pulse welding. Increasing SharpArc value de-
creases the arc cone width.
Trim Arc length adjustment in pulse welding. Increasing trim increases the actual arc length. Trim is
replaced by volts in MIG programs.
Synergic The operator programs pulse parameters for a specific wire feed speed. The wire feeder determines
the pulse parameters between these wire feed speed increments.
Process Mode Is used to select the type of process to be used, including Pulse, Adaptive Pulse, or Mig.
Sequence Mode Is used to select and program the weld sequences which include weld, crater, burnback, postflow,
preflow, run-in, and start.
Dual Schedule Mode Is used to select a pair of programs that can be used together.
Card Mode Is used to select use of the optional data card storage and retrieval capabilities.
Security Mode Only functions with an optional data card. Allows using the lock feature for restricting range of pro-
gram parameter changing.

DISPLAY SETTING NOTES
>System Select the process the welding power source is able to do.
>Model For the Invision 456 and XMT 304 selections, pulse data and welding power source minimum and maximum voltage
values are automatically loaded in. For the “Other” selection, welding power source minimum and maximum voltage
and amperage values must be entered. Pulse data defaults to Invision 456 values.
>Mig Type Default is Off. Set to On only for older CV welding power source without voltage feedback at 14-socket receptacle.
>Voltage Default is 14-pin receptacle. Use V. Sense when more than 50 ft (15m) of weld cable is used (including gun cable
length).
>Arc Start* Use Hot Start only with Inverter Model welding power source and large diameter wires. The arc starts in CV and
switches to CC.
>Trigger When on, trigger can be used to switch between programs that have at least 0.2 seconds of preflow time programmed.
>Remote When on, an optional dual schedule switch with a “y” trigger cable adapter cord can be used to change Volts or Trim,
IPM, SharpArc, or Prg depending on where the front panel display > is.
>Wire Feed Choose to display inches per minute or meters per minute and motor type, but installed motor must match selection.
>Memory No Reset: allows operator to exit memory reset parameter without resetting any data.
Program Reset: unit defaults to original factory setting for the last active program. Setup information does not change.
If setup card is in card slot, program will be loaded from card.
System Reset: unit defaults to original factory settings for all programs and setup excluding System and Arc Time. If
setup card is in card slot, program will be loaded from card.
Total Reset: unit defaults to original factory settings for all programs and setup including System and Arc Time. If setup
card is in card slot, program will be loaded from card.
>Shutdown When on, the system immediately shuts down if no arc voltage is sensed. When off, wire feeds even if no arc voltage
is sensed.
>Ramps Turns start and crater ramping On or Off. When On, output power is tapered from start to weld and from weld to crater.
