OPERATION POWER FEED 84, POWER FEED 84 DUAL
Parameter Name and Description
P.16 Push-Pull Gun Knob Behavior
This option determines how the potentiometer on the Push/Pull torch will behave.
• Gun Pot Enabled = The welding wire feed speed is always controlled by the potentiometer on the push-pull gun
(default). The left front panel knob is only used to adjust Start and Crater wire feed speed.
• Gun Pot Disabled = The wire feed speed is always controlled by the left front panel knob. This setting is useful
when the operator wishes to have wire feed speed settings recalled from memories and not have the potentiome-
ter "overwrite" the setting.
• Gun Pot Proc A = When in procedure A, the welding wire feed speed is controlled by the potentiometer on the
push-pull gun. When in procedure B, the welding wire feed speed is controlled by the left front panel knob. This
setting allows a fixed wire feed speed to be selected in procedure B and not have the potentiometer "overwrite"
the setting when the procedure changes.
On dual-head Power Feed 84 Feeders, a different setting can be used for each head. The operator will be prompted
to select which head to edit before the setting can be changed.
P.17 Remote Control Type
This setup parameter was previously named "Spool/Push-Pull"
This option selects the type of analog remote control being used. Digital remote control devices (those with a digital
display) are configured automatically. Not all P.17 selections will be available on all machines. When P.17 is used to
configure the remote control to function in a specific process, the remote will be ignored in other processes. For
example, if P.17 = TIG Amp Control, the remote control will only function when TIG welding - the remote will be
ignored in other processes (MIG, stick and gouge). If P.17 is set to Spool Gun or Push-Pull Gun then set to All Mode
Remote, the machine will remember prior value of P.17 and will operate a Spool Gun or Push-Pull Gun, depending
on the prior value of P.17.
Spool Gun = Use this setting while MIG welding with a spool gun that uses a potentiometer used for wire feed
speed control (this setting is backward compatible with "P.17 Gun Selection" = Standard/Spool).
Push-Pull Gun = Use this setting wile MIG welding with a push-pull gun that uses a potentiometer for wire feed
speed control (this setting is backward compatible with "P.17 Gun Selection" = PushPull).
TIG Amp Control = Use this setting while TIG welding with a foot or hand current control device (Amptrol). While
TIG welding, the upper left knob on the User Interface sets the maximum current obtained when the TIG amp control
is at its maximum setting.
Stick/Gouge Rem. = Use this setting while stick welding or gouging with a remote output control device. While
stick welding, the upper left knob on the User Interface sets the maximum current obtained when the stick remote
is at it’s maximum setting. While gouging, the upper left knob is disabled and the gouging current is set on the
remote control.
All Mode Remote = This setting allows the remote control to function in all weld modes which is how most
machines with 6-pin and 7-pin remote control connections operate. This setting was provided so that customers
with a mix of Lincoln Electric equipment can have consistent remote control behavior across all of their equipment.
(N. American default)
Joystick MIG Gun = Use this setting while MIG welding with a push MIG gun with a joystick control. Stick, TIG and
gouge welding currents are set at the User Interface. (European default)
On dual-head PF84 Feeders, a different setting can be used for each head. The operator will be prompted to select
which head to edit before the setting can be changed.
