Run-In Mode
Run In Mode is used to select the run-in wire feed speed mode used when the weld trigger is enabled, prior to the initiation of the welding arc. There are three options for run-in mode -
Mode | Run-In WFS |
Off | none |
Auto | % of preset welding WFS |
Manual | user defined |
Run-in Wire Feed Speed
Run-in WFS command setting in inches per minute (IPM). The data range for run-in WFS is 50-500 IPM.
Start Mode
The start mode setting can be used to enable the ability to set a welding condition during the initial portion of the weld that is different from the main welding condition. This can be used to define a “hot start” type of condition. When the Auto start mode is selected, the start parameters will automatically be determined.
Mode | Start mode Settings |
Off | none |
Auto | automatically defined |
Manual | user defined |
Start Wire Feed Speed
Start WFS command setting in inches per minute (IPM) when the start mode is set to Manual. The start WFS will be the WFS setting target after the arc is initiated. The data range for start WFS is 50-780 IPM. However, the valid setting limits are determined by the duty cycle rating of the power source and the active weld process selected.
Start Voltage
Start Voltage command setting used for a MIG process.
Start Arc Length
Start Arc Length command used for controlling start arc length when using Accu-Pulse.
Start Dwell Time
Determines the duration of welding in seconds using the Start WFS and Start Voltage or Arc Length setting. This time starts after the arc is established and the Start WFS is achieved.
Start Ramp Time
Determines the duration of the ramp from the start condition to the main welding condition in seconds.
Accessing Run In and Start Mode Settings
The Run In and Start Mode settings can be accessed under Part Details > Welder Configuration
