or remotely via the remote control unit linked to the unit’s remote-control connector. If

settings are chosen to be performed via the gun controller connected to the welding gun,

the wire feed speed / setting for power (1-MIG) will be adjusted via the gun controller and the

welding voltage/arc length (1-MIG) adjusted via panel potentiometer No. 16.
Note! Remote control or gun settings can be chosen only if the controller in question is

connected to the equipment, and in gun control the SETUP parameter ’GUN’ is position ”ON”.

Additional MIG functions (13)

Activation of additional MIG functions
Functions can be added to wire feeder by buing a specific code for it (=licence). The code can

be programmed via wire feeder bus address or via panel. Instructions for programming the

code via wire feeder bus address are on programming manual.
Programming from panel:

1. Go to SETUP functions by a long press on button SETUP.

2. Choose with left potentiometer parameter Code Entering (’Cod’) and adjust right

potentiometer to Enter (’Ent’).

3. Press shortly on REMOTE button.

4. You can see on left display number one (1), programm the first value of the code on right

potentiometer. Programmed value can be seen on right display.

5. Choose next value programming with the potentiometer on left.

6. Programm the same value seen on left display with right potentiometer.

7. Go back to point 5, until all values of the code have been programmed.

8. Approve the code by a short press on button REMOTE.

9. If code programming is succeeded, on panel can be seen text ’Suc cEs’. If code

programming failed, there is an error code on panel. (See 5. FastMig™ error codes).

10. You can remove from programming mode at any time by pressing shortly ON/OFF button

(ESC function).

The selection button for additional MIG functions can be used to activate the slow start

(’Creep Start’), hot start, or crater levelling (’Crater Level’) function. Further presses of the

selection button can select one or more of the above func tions. N.B.! Only the available

additional functions for each method can be selected.
Parameters related to these functions are set via the SETUP function (see ’SETUP functions’).
The purpose of Creep Start is to facilitate the initial weld – e.g., when welding with a high wire

feed speed. The wire feed speed is kept low until the wire touches the work piece and the

current begins to flow. Creep Start can be selected with normal MIG welding or with Synergic

1-MIG welding.
The purpose of the Hot Start function is to reduce initial welding errors when welding highly

heat-conductive materials such as aluminium. Hot Start can be selected when using Synergic

1-MIG welding and when the 4T operating mode is selected. In this case, when the start

switch of the gun is held down, a fixed pre-gas time is displayed after which welding starts at

the level determined by the SETUP mode’s Hot Start parameter, returning to the normal level

when the gun switch is released.
Stopping is performed as with the normal 4T function.
The purpose of crater levelling is to reduce welding defects caused by end cratering. The

Crater Level function can be selected when using Synergic 1-MIG welding and when the 4T

operating mode is selected.
When the gun switch is pressed down in connection with termination of welding, the

welding power drops to the crater-filling level selected previously. The crater filling function is

discontinued by releasing the gun switch.
The values of parameters related to additional MIG functions can be changed either with the

SETUP function (see ’SETUP’) or with the Quick SETUP function. Quick SETUP is activated by

simultaneously pressing buttons 13 and 10. In this way, parameters related to MIG additional

functions can be set.
Parameters are selected for adjustment either with button 13 or via potentiometer No. 14. The

value of the parameter is set via potentiometer No. 16. The value is immediately recorded in

the memory.
