OPERATION POWER FEED 84, POWER FEED 84 DUAL
Parameter Name and Description
P.18 Wire Drive Gear Ratio
This option selects the Wire Drive Gear Ratio that will be used. The possible selectable values are read
from the Wire Drive on startup. For semi-automatic systems, if the feedhead board has dip switches, this
option does not appear in the menu. Gear ratio can be selected using the dip switches.
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.
Note: Changing this value will cause the system to reset.
P.19 Wire Drive Direction
Used to select the wire drive “Forward” direction for single wire drive feeders. If the wire drive is
reassembled to the left side, the direction must change.
A
→ B = Wire drive assembled on the right hand side (default)
B → A = Wire drive assembled on the left hand
P.20 Display Trim as Volts Option
This option determines how trim is displayed.
False = The trim is displayed in the format defined in the weld set (default).
True = All trim values are displayed as a voltage.
Note: This option may not be available on all machines. The power source must support this functionality,
or this option will not appear in the menu.
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.
