5.1 Shielding gas volume settings
If the shielding gas setting is too low or too high, this can introduce air to the weld pool and may cause
pores to form. Adjust the shielding gas quantity to suit the welding task!
• Slowly open the gas cylinder valve.
• Open the pressure regulator.
• Switch on the power source at the main switch.
• Trigger gas test > see 5.1.1 chapter function (welding voltage and wire feed motor remain switched off
– no accidental arc ignition).
• Set the relevant gas quantity for the application on the pressure regulator.

The wire inching function is used for potential- and gas-free inching of the wire electrode after the wire
spool change. By pressing and holding the wire inching button for a long time, the wire inching speed
increases in a ramp function (special parameter P1 > see 5.10.1.1 chapter) from 1 m/min to the set
maximum value. The maximum value is set by simultaneously pressing the wire inching button and
turning the left click wheel.

5.3 Wire return
The wire return function is used to retract the wire electrode without tension and protection gas. By
simultaneously pressing and holding the wire inching and gas test buttons, the wire return speed
increases in a ramp function (special parameter P1 > see 5.10.1.1 chapter) from 1 m/min to the set
maximum value. The maximum value is set by simultaneously pressing the wire inching button and
turning the left click wheel.
During the process, the wire spool must be turned by hand clockwise to wind up the wire electrode again.

Zur Schweißaufgabenanwahl sind folgende Schritte durchzuführen:
• Grundparameter (Materialart, Drahtdurchmesser und Schutzgasart) und Schweißverfahren wählen
(JOB-Nummer anhand JOB-List > see 7.1 chapter wählen und eingeben).
• Betriebs- und Schweißart wählen
• Schweißleistung einstellen
• Lichtbogenlänge und Dynamik ggf. korrigieren
5.4.1.1 Basic welding parameters
The user must first determine the basic parameters (material type, wire diameter and shielding gas type)
of the welding system. These basic parameters are then compared with the welding job list (JOB-LIST).
The combination of the basic parameters gives a JOB number, which must now be entered on the control

After setting the basic parameters you can switch between the welding procedures MIG/MAG, forceArc,
wiredArc, rootArc und coldArc (if there is a corresponding combination of the basic parameters). The
process change will also change the JOB number, but the basic parameters remain unchanged.

5.4.1.3 Operating mode
The operating mode determines the process sequence controlled by the welding torch. Detailed
descriptions of the operating modes > see 5.4.4 chapter.
Figure 5-7
5.4.1.4 Welding type
Different forms of MIG/MAG processes are referred to as welding type.
Standard (Welding with standard arc)
Depending on the set combination of wire feed speed and arc voltage, the arc types short arc, transitional
arc or spray arc can be used for welding.
Pulse (Welding with pulsed arc)
A targeted change in the welding current generates current pulses in the arc, which lead to a 1 drop per
pulse of material transfer. The result is an almost spatter-free process, suitable for welding of all
materials, in particular high-alloy CrNi steels or aluminium.
Positionweld (Positional welding)
A combination of the pulse/standard or pulse/pulse welding types, which is particularly suitable for
positional welding due to factory-optimized parameters.

5.4.1.5 Welding power (operating point)
The welding power is adjusted according to the principle of one-knob operation. The user can set their
operating point optionally as wire feed speed, welding current or material thickness. The optimum welding
voltage for the operating point is calculated and set by the welding machine. If necessary, the user can
correct this welding voltage > see 5.4.1.7 chapter.
Figure 5-9
Application example (setting via material thickness)
The required wire feed speed is not known and is to be determined.
• Select welding task JOB 76( > see 5.4.1 chapter): material = AlMg, gas = Ar 100%, wire diameter =
1.2 mm.
• Switch the display to material thickness.
• Measure the material thickness (workpiece).
• Set the measured value, e.g. 5 mm, at the machine control.
This set value corresponds to a specific wire feed speed. Switching the display to this parameter will
show the associated value.
In this example, a material thickness of 5 mm corresponds to a wire feed speed of 8.4 m/min.
The material thickness details in the welding programs generally refer to fillet welds in the PB welding
position. They should be regarded as guideline values and may differ in other welding positions.
5.4.1.6 Accessory components for operating point setting
The operating point can be set at various accessory components as well, such as remote control, special
welding torches or robot and industrial bus interfaces (optional interface for automated welding required,
not available for all machines of this series).
See the operating instructions for the machine in question for a more detailed description of the individual
machines and their functions.
5.4.1.7 Arc length
When required, the arc length (welding voltage) can be adjusted for the welding task in hand by +/– 9.9 V.

(avoidance of cold welds at start of seam)
• Main program PA (constant welding)
• Reduced main program PB (targeted heat reduction)
• End program P
END)
(avoidance of end-craters by targeted heat reduction)

5.4.5 forceArc / forceArc puls
Heat-reduced, directionally-stable and powerful arc with deep fusion penetration for the upper power

• Smaller included angle due to deep penetration and directionally stable arc
• Excellent root and sidewall fusion
• Secure welding also with very long stick-outs
• Reduced undercuts
• Manual and automated applications
You can make use of these properties after selecting the forceArc process > see 5.4.1 chapter.
As with pulse arc welding, it is important to make sure of a good welding current connection.
• Keep welding current cables as short as possible and ensure that cable cross-sections are adequate!
• Fully unroll welding current cables, torche hose packages and, if applicable, intermediate hose
packages. Avoid loops!
• Use welding torches, preferably water-cooled, that are suitable for the higher power range.
• Use welding wire with adequate copper coating when welding steel. The wire spool should have layer
spooling.
Unstable arc!
Welding current cables that are not fully unrolled can cause faults in the arc (flickering).

5.4.6 wiredArc
Welding process with active wire control for stable and uniform penetration characteristics and perfect arc
length stability, even in difficult applications and positional welding.
With a GMAW arc, the welding current (AMP) changes with the change of the stick-out. If, for instance,
the stick-out is extended, the welding current decreases at constant wire feed speed (DG). Thus, the heat
input into the workpiece (molten metal) decreases and the penetration reduces.
Figure 5-24
With the EWM wiredArc arc with wire control, the welding current (AMP) changes with the change of the
stick-out only slightly. The compensation of the welding current takes place with an active control of wire
feed speed (DG). If, for instance, the stick-out is extended, the wire feed speed will be increased. Due to
this, the welding current remains almost constant and thus the heat input into the workpiece remains
almost constant. As a result, the penetration changes with the change of the stick-out only slightly.

5.4.8 coldArc / coldArc puls
Heat-reduced, low-spatter short arc for high dimensional stability welding and brazing of thin metal sheets
with excellent gap-bridging.
Figure 5-27
After selecting the coldArc process > see 5.4.1 chapter you benefit from:
• Less distortion and reduced discolouration thanks to minimised heat input
• Considerably reduced spatter thanks to virtually power-free material transfer
• Easy welding of the root passes in all plate thicknesses and in all positions
• Perfect gap bridging even with inconsistent gap widths
• Manual and automated applications
You can make use of these properties after selecting the coldArc process (see the "Selecting a MIG/MAG
welding task" chapter).
With coldArc welding, it is important to ensure good quality wire feeding because of the welding filler
materials being used!
• Equip the welding torch and torch hose package to suit the task! ( and the operating instructions for
the welding torch.)
This function can only be enabled with the PC300.NET software.

5.7 Options (additional components)
5.7.1 Electronic gas flow control (OW DGC)
The connected gas line has to have a preset pressure of 3–5 bar.
The electronic gas flow control (DGC) regulates the optimum gas flow rate for the respective welding
process (optimally preset from the factory). This helps avoid welding errors caused by too much (gas
blast) or insufficient shielding gas (shielding gas cylinder empty or gas supply interrupted).
The required gas flow rate can be controlled by the user and corrected if necessary (nominal values
before welding). In addition, when used in combination with Xnet software (optional), the exact gas
consumption can be recorded.
The parameter is selected by pressing the parameter display push-button on the right side. The signal
light " " is illuminated. The value unitscan be in litres per minute “l/min" or Cubic Feet Per Hour "cFH"
(adjustable with special parameters P29 > see 5.10 chapter). During the welding process, these nominal
values are compared with the actual values. If these values differ more than the specified error threshold
(special parameters P28) the error message "Err 8" is output and the continuous welding process is
stopped.
5.7.2 Wire reserve sensor (OW WRS)
Minimizes the risk of seam errors due to early detection and display (signal light "End") with about 10 %
remaining wire. At the same time, the forward-looking production allows the reduction of the auxiliary
process times.
5.7.3 Wire spool heater (OW WHS)
Prevention of condensation on the welding wire due to adjustable temperature (special parameters
P26 > see 5.10 chapter) of the wire spool heater.
5.8 Access control
To prevent people from unauthorised or inadvertent changing of the welding parameters at the machine,
entering values on the control can be blocked by using the key switch.
With the key switch in position , all functions and parameters can be configured without any restriction.
In the key position the following functions or parameters can not be changed:
• No adjustment of the operating point (welding performance) in programs 1–15.
• No change of welding or operating mode in programs 1–15.
• No welding task switching (JOB block operation P16 possible).
• No change of special parameters (except P10). Restart required.
5.9 Voltage reducing device
Only machine variants with the (VRD/AUS/RU) code are equipped with a voltage reduction device (VRD).
The VRD is used for increased safety, especially in hazardous environments such as shipbuilding, pipe
construction or mining.
A VRD is mandatory in some countries and required by many on-site safety instructions for power
sources.
The VRD > see 4 chapter signal light is illuminated when the voltage reduction device is operating without
fault and the output voltage is reduced to a value specified in the relevant standard (see technical data).
5.10 Special parameters (advanced settings)
Special parameters (P1 to Pn) are applied for customer-specific configuration of machine functions. This
allows the user maximum flexibility in optimising their requirements.
These settings are not configured directly on the machine control since a regular setting of the
parameters is generally not required. The number of selectable special parameters can deviate between
the machine controls used in the welding system (also see the relevant standard operating instructions).
If required, the special parameters can be reset to the factory settings > see 5.10.2 chapter.

5.10.1.4 Program limit (P4)
Program selection can be limited with the special parameter P4.
• The setting is adopted for all JOBs.
• Program selection depends on the position of the "welding torch function" changeover switch ().
Programs can only be switched when the changeover switch is in the "program" position.
• Programs can be switched by means of a connected remote control or special welding torch.
• If a special welding torch or a remote control is not connected, it is only possible to switch programs by
means of the "arc length correction/select welding program" rotary dial ().

5.10.1.6 Correction operation, threshold value setting (P7)
The correction operation is switched on and off for all JOBs and their programs at the same time. A
correction operation is specified for wire speed (DV) and welding voltage correction (Ukorr) for each JOB.
The correction value is saved separately for each program. The correction range can be maximum 30%
of the wire speed and +/-9.9 V welding voltage.
Figure 5-42
Example for the operating point in correction mode:
The wire speed in one program (1 to 15) is set on 10.0 m/min.
This corresponds to a welding voltage (U) of 21,9 V. When the key switch is set to "0" position, welding in
this program can only be carried out with these values.
To allow the welder also to perform wire and voltage correction in program mode, the correction mode
must be switched on and limit values for wire and voltage must be specified.
Setting of the correction limit value = WFlimit = 20% / Ulimit = 1.9 V
Now the wire speed can be corrected by 20% (8.0 up to 12.0 m/min) and the welding voltage by +/-1.9 V
(3.8 V).
In the example the wire speed is set on 11.0 m/min. This corresponds to a welding voltage of 22 V
Now the welding voltage can be corrected by further 1.9 V (20.1 V and 23.9 V).
The values for voltage and wire-speed correction will be reset if the key switch is moved to the "1"
setting.

are possible.
3rd cycle
• Press and hold torch trigger.
• Slope to end program P
END
from PAN. The program can be stopped at any time by pressing the torch
trigger longer than 0.3 sec. P
END
from PAN is then executed.
4th cycle
• Release torch trigger.
• WF motor stops.
• Arc is extinguished after the pre-selected wire burn-back time elapses.
• Gas post-flow time elapses.
5.10.1.8 Latched/special-latched tap start (P9)
In latched – tap start – operating mode it is possible to switch straight to the second step by tapping the
torch trigger; it is not necessary for current to be flowing.
The welding can be halted by pressing the torch trigger for a second time.
5.10.1.9 "Single or dual operation" (P10) setting
If the system is fitted with two wire feeds, no further accessory components may be operated on
the 7-pole connection socket (digital)!
This relates to digital remote controls, robot interfaces, documentation interfaces, welding
torches with digital control lead connection, etc.
No second wire feed may be connected in single operation (P10 = 0)!
• Remove connections to the second wire feed
In dual operation (P10 = 1 or 2), both wire feed units must be connected and configured differently
on the controls for this operating mode!
• Configure one wire feed unit as the master (P10 = 1)
• Configure the other wire feed unit as a slave (P10 = 2)
Wire feed units with key switches (optional, > see 5.8 chapter) must be configured as masters
(P10 = 1).
The wire feed configured as the master is active after the welding machine is switched on. There
are no other functional differences between the wire feeds.

Like real JOB list. In addition JOB switching with appropriate
accessory components such as a function torch is possible.
Creating user-defined JOB lists
An associated memory area, in which switching with accessory components such as a function
torch between JOBs is possible, is created.
• Set special parameters P12 to "2".
• Set switch "Program or Up/Down Function" to “Up/Down" position.
• Select existing JOB, which comes as close as possible to the desired result.
• Copy JOB to one or more destination JOB numbers.
If JOB parameters still need to be adjusted, select destination JOBs one after the other and adjust
parameters individually.
• Special parameters P13 to the lower limit and
• Adjust special parameters P14 to the upper limit of the destination JOBs.
• Set switch "Program or Up/down function" to position "Program".
With the accessory component JOBs can be switched in the specified range.
Copying JOBs, "Copy to" function
The possible target range is between 129 - 169.
• First configure special parameter P12 to P12 = 2 or P12 = 1!
Copy JOB by number, see corresponding operating instructions ("Control").
By repeating the last two steps, the same source JOB can be copied to multiple target JOBs.
If the control does not register any user activity for longer than 5 seconds, the parameter display is shown
once more and the copy process is complete.

JOB 0:
This JOB allows you to set the welding parameters manually.
Selection of JOB 0 can be prevented via the key switch or with the "block program 0" parameter (P2).
Key switch position 0, or special parameter P2 = 0: JOB 0 is blocked.
Key switch position 1, or special parameter P2 = 1: JOB 0 can be selected.
JOBs 1-9:
Nine JOBs can be called up in each special JOB (see table).
Nominal values for wire speed, arc correction, dynamics etc must be defined in advance in these JOBs.
This can be done easily with the PC300.NETsoftware.
If the software is not available, user-defined JOB lists can be created in the special JOB areas with the
"Copy to" function. (See explanations about this in the "Switching JOB lists (P12)" chapter)
5.10.1.15 Selecting programs with the standard torch trigger (P17)

5.11.2 Aligning the cable resistance
The resistance value of cables can either be set directly or it can be aligned using the power source. The
factory setting of the power sources is 8 mΩ. This value correponds to a 5 m earth cable, a 1.5 m
intermediate hose package and a 3 m water-cooled welding torch. With other hose package lengths, it is
necessary to carry out a +/- voltage correction to optimise welding properties. The voltage correction
value can be set close to zero by means of realigning the cable resistance. It is recommended to align the
electric cable resistance after replacing accessories such as torches or intermediate hose packages.
In case a second wire feeder is used the (rL2) parameter has to be aligned. For all other configurations it
is sufficient to align the (rL1) parameter.

1 Preparation
• Switch off the welding machine.
• Unscrew the gas nozzle from the welding torch.
• Trim the welding wire so that it is flush with the contact tip.
• Retract the welding wire a little (approx. 50 mm) on the wire feeder. There should now be no more
welding wire in the contact tip.
2 Configuration
• Press and hold "Welding power rotary knob", at the same time switch on the welding machine (at least
2 s). Release rotary knob (device changes after a further 5 s to the first parameter cable resistance 1).
• Turn the "Welding power rotary knob" to select the appropriate parameter. Parameter rL1 must be
adjusted for all machine combinations. In case of welding systems with a second power circuit – if two
wire feeders are to be operated from a single power source, for example – a second adjustment with
parameter rL2 must be performed.
3 Alignment/Measurement
• Applying slight pressure, put the welding torch in place with the contact tip on a clean, purged location
on the workpiece and then press the torch trigger for approx. 2 seconds. A short-circuit current will
flow briefly, which is used to determine and display the cable resistance. The value can be between
0 mΩ and 40 mΩ. The new value is immediately saved without requiring further confirmation. If no
value is shown on the right-hand display, then measurement failed. The measurement must be
repeated.
4 Restoring welding standby mode
• Switch off the welding machine.
• Screw the gas nozzle onto the welding torch.
• Switch on the welding machine.
• Insert the welding wire.
5.11.3 Power-saving mode (Standby)
You can activate the power-saving mode by setting a parameter in the machine configuration menu (timecontrolled power-saving mode ) > see 5.11 chapter.
When power-saving mode is activated, the machine displays show the horizontal digit in the
centre of the display only.
Pressing any operating element (e.g. turning a rotary knob) deactivates power-saving mode and the
machine is ready for welding again.

A welding machine error will be signalled by an error code (see table) on the control display. In
the event of an error, the power unit shuts down.
The display of possible error numbers depends on the machine version (interfaces/functions).
• Document machine warning and inform service personnel, if required.
• If there are several errors in a control system of "LP" or "HP" type, the error with the lowest error
number (Err) is displayed. If this error is corrected, the next higher error number appears. This process
is repeated until all errors have been resolved.
