by using the gun trigger. However,
the weld output is energized for 3

not initiate in 3 seconds after the
gun trigger is activated the unit will
perform a jog operation for a maxi-
mum of one minute. If the gun trig-
ger is still activated after one
minute, the jog operation is termi-
nated to prevent complete despool-

6-11. Operational Terms
The following is a list of terms and their definitions as they apply to this wire feeder:
General Terms:
Arc Length Is the physical distance between the wire electrode and the molten weld puddle. It is a term used to
represent adjustments in the Pulsed MIG welding process. The default setting for arc length is 0.0
and good for most applications. The operator can change the setting for specific applications.
The arc length setting will be displayed in the Left Display when a Pulsed MiG welding process is
selected. To adjust setting, turn Left Adjust Control knob. Use settings of 0 to −10.0 to decrease arc
length. Use settings of 0 to 10.0 to increase arc length.
EZ-Set A synergic operation which automatically determines weld parameters by using the wirefeed speed
knob to select the thickness of the material being welded. Once the material thickness is selected, the
welding parameters are set to a suggested starting point for welding.
. All settings are approximate. Welds should be tested to comply to your specifications.
Accu-Pulse Is a Pulsed MIG welding process utilizing constant current ramps with constant voltage control of
peaks and background. Adaptive response is controlled by peak and background current levels.

6-15. Accu-Power
The Accu-Power feature displays the instantaneous output power while welding, which can then be used with the equation below to compute
the heat input for a particular weld operation.
At end of the weld the total average power in kilojoules per second and total arc time in seconds are displayed for up to 30 seconds on the
Wire and Gas selection display.
To calculate the weld heat input, multiply the instantaneous power by the arc time and divide by the weld bead length.
Power(kJńs)xArcTime(s)
HeatInput[kJńin(kJńmm)] +
WeldBeadLength[in(mm)]
Enabling Accu-Power
Accu−Power is always displayed when using Accu-Pulse. To enable in other welding arc modes, connect voltage sense lead from weld volt-
age sense receptacle on rear of wire feeder to work piece. See section 5-7 for more information.
. Use the weld voltage sense connection for better accuracy when using this feature.
