NON-SYNERGIC GMAW AND FCAW
WELDING
In non-synergic modes, the WFS control is similar to a
conventional CV power source where WFS and volt-
age are independent adjustments. Therefore to main-
tain the arc characteristics, the operator must adjust
the voltage to compensate for any changes made to
the WFS.
UltimArc™Control, adjusts the apparent inductance of
the wave shape. The UltimArc™Control adjustment is
similar to the “pinch” function in that it is inversely pro-
portional to inductance. Therefore, increasing
UltimArc™Control greater than 0.0 results in a crisper
arc (more spatter) while decreasing the
UltimArc™Control to less than 0.0 provides a softer
arc (less spatter).

Start Procedure
DESCRIPTION
Adjusts the time that shielding gas
flows after the trigger is pulled
and prior to feeding wire.
Run-In sets the wire feed
speed from the time the trigger
is pulled until an arc is estab-
lished.
The Start Procedure controls
the WFS and Volts for a speci-
fied time at the beginning of
the weld. During the start time,
the machine will ramp up or
down from the Start Procedure
to the preset Welding
Procedure.

During the Crater time, the

Burnback:
Spot Timer:
The burnback time is the
amount of time that the weld
output continues after the wire
stops feeding. It prevents the
wire from sticking in the puddle
and prepares the end of the
wire for the next arc start.
