Parameter Definition
P.22 Arc Start/Loss Error Time
This option can be used to optionally shut off output if an arc is not established, or is lost for a
specified amount of time. Error 269 will be displayed if the machine times out. If the value is set
to OFF, machine output will not be turned off if an arc is not established nor will output be
turned off if an arc is lost. The trigger can be used to hot feed the wire (default). If a value is set,
the machine output will shut off if an arc is not established within the specified amount of time
after the trigger is pulled or if the trigger remains pulled after an arc is lost. This is disabled
while welding in Stick, TIG or Gouge. To prevent nuisance errors, set Arc Start/Loss Error Time
to an appropriate value after considering all welding parameters (run-in wire feed speed, weld
wire feed speed, electrical stick out, etc). To prevent subsequent changes to Arc Start/Loss
Error Time, the setup menu should be locked out by setting Preference Lock = Yes using the
Power Wave Manager software.
P.24 Push Pull Type
Allows operator to choose the Prince option if welding with a Prince Push Pull gun. This gun
requires unique settings to run at the correct WFS.
Note: This option may not be available on all machines. The wire drive must support this func-
tionality, or this option will not appear in the menu.
P.25 Joystick Configuration
The new analog and digital gun controls have a joystick to allow the user to change various
weld settings at the gun rather than having to go to the user interface. P.25 can be used to
change the behavior of the joystick.
When P.25 is set to "Disable Joystick", the joystick does not function.
In all configurations other than "Disable Joystick", the up and down joystick positions will adjust
the wire feed speed, while welding and while not welding. P.25 is used to reconfigure the
behavior of the left and right joystick positions.
When P.25 is set to "WFS/Trim", the left and right joystick positions will adjust Arc Length Trim,
Arc Voltage, Power or STT Background Current based on the selected weld mode. For exam-
ple, when a non-synergic STT weld mode is selected, the left and right joystick positions will
adjust Background Current. When a Power mode is selected, the left and right joystick posi-
tions will adjust the Power (kW).
When P.25 is set to "WFS/Job (Memory)", the left and right joystick positions will select a user
memory while not welding and adjust Trim/Voltage/Power/STT Background Current while weld-
ing.
When P.25 is set to "WFS/Proced. A-B", the left and right joystick positions will be used to
select procedure A and B, while welding and while not welding. The left joystick position selects
procedure A, the right joystick position selects procedure B.
P.26 Show Memory LED
On user interfaces that support user memories but do not have dedicated user memory but-
tons, this parameter is used to show or hide the LED that is used to select a user memory to
save to or recall from. When P.26 is set to Yes, the user memory LED will be shown and the
operator can save to and recall from user memories. When P.26 is set to No, the user memory
LED will not be shown, preventing the operator from saving to and recalling from user memo-
ries.
