Definition of Welding Modes
Non-Synergic Welding Modes
•A Non-synergic welding mode requires all welding
process variables to be set by the operator.
Synergic Welding Modes
•A Synergic welding mode offers the simplicity of
single knob control. The machine will select the
correct voltage and amperage based on the wire
feed speed (WFS) set by the operator.
Basic Welding Controls Weld Mode
Selecting a weld mode determines the output
characteristics of the Power Wave power source. Weld
modes are developed with a specific electrode material,
electrode size, and shielding gas. For a more complete
description of the weld modes programmed into the
Power Wave at the factory, refer to the Weld Set
Reference Guide supplied with the machine or available
at www.powerwavesoftware.com.
Wire Feed Speed (WFS)
In synergic welding modes (synergic CV, GMAW-P),
WFS is the dominant control parameter. The user
adjusts WFS according to factors such as wire size,
penetration requirements, heat input, etc. The Power
Wave then uses the WFS setting to adjust the voltage
and current according to settings contained in the Power
Wave. In non-synergic modes, the WFS control
behaves like a conventional power source where WFS
and voltage are independent adjustments. Therefore, to
maintain proper arc characteristics, the operator must
adjust the voltage to compensate for any changes made
to the WFS.
Amps
In constant current modes, this control adjusts the
welding current.
Volts
In constant voltage modes, this control adjusts the
welding voltage.
Trim
In pulse synergic welding modes, the Trim setting
adjusts the arc length. Trim is adjustable from 0.50 to
1.50. 1.00 is the nominal setting and is a good starting
point for most conditions.
Inductance and UltimArc
TM
Control
UltimArc
TM
Control allows the operator to vary the arc
characteristics from “soft” to “crisp”. UltimArc™ Control
is adjustable from –10.0 to +10.0 with a nominal setting
of 0.0.
SMAW (Stick) Welding
SMAW is most often used for outdoor construction, pipe
welding and general repairs. The POWER WAVE
®
C300 CE controls Amperage, Output Control and Arc
Force during SMAW welding.
During SMAW welding the wire drive remains idle.

Non-Synergic GMAW and FCAW
Welding
In non-synergic modes, the WFS control is similar to a
conventional CV power source where WFS and voltage
are independent adjustments. Therefore to maintain the
arc characteristics, the operator must adjust the voltage
to compensate for any changes made to the WFS.
UltimArc™ Control, adjusts the apparent inductance of
the wave shape. The UltimArc™ Control adjustment is
similar to the “pinch” function in that it is inversely
proportional to inductance. Therefore, increasing
UltimArc™ Control greater than 0.0 results in a crisper
arc (more spatter) while decreasing the UltimArc™
Control to less than 0.0 provides a softer arc (less
spatter).

GMAW (MIG) Synergic Welding
In synergic welding modes, WFS is the dominant control
parameter. For each wire feed speed, a corresponding
voltage is programmed into the machine at the factory.
The user adjusts WFS according to factors such as wire
size, material thickness, penetration requirements, etc.
The Power Wave then uses the WFS setting to select
the appropriate voltage. The voltage selected will be a
nominal voltage. The user can adjust the voltage higher
or lower to compensate for material condition or
individual preference.
UltimArc™ Control, adjusts the apparent inductance of
the wave shape. The UltimArc™ Control adjustment is
similar to the “pinch” function in that it is inversely

proportional to inductance. Therefore, increasing
UltimArc™ Control greater than 0.0 results in a crisper
arc (more spatter) while decreasing the UltimArc™
Control to less than 0.0 provides a softer arc (less
spatter).
Synergic CV programs feature an ideal voltage best
suited for most procedures. Use this voltage as a
starting point and adjust if needed for personal
preferences.
When the voltage knob is rotated, the display will show
an upper or lower bar indicating if the voltage is
above or below the ideal voltage.
•Preset voltage above ideal
voltage (upper bar

•Preset voltage at ideal
voltage (no bar displayed).
•Preset voltage below ideal
voltage (lower bar

(Pulsed MIG)
Pulse welding modes are synergic; using wire feed
speed as the main control parameter. As the wire feed
speed is adjusted, the power source adjusts the
waveform parameters to maintain good welding
characteristics. Trim is used as a secondary control to
change the arc length for material conditions or
individual preference (see figure 6).

UltimArc™ Control
UltimArc™ Control adjusts the focus or shape of the arc.
UltimArc™ Control is adjustable from -10.0 to +10.0 with
a nominal setting of 0.0. Increasing the arc control
increases the pulse frequency and background current
while decreasing the peak current.
This results in a tight, stiff arc used for high speed sheet
metal welding. Decreasing the arc control decreases the
pulse frequency and background current while
increasing the peak current. This results in a soft arc
good for out of position welding.

Figure 7
The Power Wave utilizes adaptive control to compensate
for changes in the electrical stick-out (distance from the
contact tip to the work piece) while welding. The Power
Wave waveforms are optimized for a 1,6 to 1,9mm stick
out depending on the wire type and wire feed speed.
The adaptive behaviour supports a range of stick outs
from approximately 1,27 to 3,1mm. At low or high wire
feed speeds, the adaptive range may be less due to
physical limitations of the welding process.

2-step 4-step - Trigger Operation
The 2-Step - 4-Step switch changes the function of the
gun trigger. 2-Step trigger operation switches the
welding output ON-OFF in direct response to the trigger.
4-Step trigger operation provides 'trigger interlock'
capability and gives the ability to control the amount of
time spent in the arc start and arc crater steps.
Press the right push button on the case front to toggle
between 2-Step and 4-Step operation.
The 2-Step, 4-Step trigger has no effect when welding
with SMAW.
2-Step Trigger
2-Step trigger operation is the most common. When the
gun trigger is pulled, the welding system (power source
and wire feeder) cycles through the arc starting
sequence and into the main welding parameters. The
welding system will continue to weld as long as the gun
trigger is activated. Once the trigger is released, the
welding system cycles through the arc ending steps.
4-Step Trigger
4-Step trigger operation gives the welder additional
control in the welding sequence. 4-Step trigger allows
the welder to choose the arc start, weld and arc end
time. It may also be set-up to work as a trigger interlock.
Cold Feed/Gas Purge Switch
Cold Feed and Gas Purge are combined
into a single spring centered toggle switch.
To activate Cold Feeding, hold the switch
in the UP position. The wire drive will feed
electrode but neither the power source nor
the gas solenoid will be energized. Adjust
the speed of cold feeding by rotating the
WFS knob. Cold feeding, or "cold inching" the electrode
is useful for threading the electrode through the gun.
Hold with toggle switch in the DOWN position to activate
Gas Purge and let the shielding gas flow.
Set-Up Features Menu
The Setup Menu gives access to the set-up
configuration. Stored in the set-up configuration are

welding. (default)
•WFS = The left display shows Wire Feed Speed
while welding.
P.3 Display Energy
P.3 selects whether or not energy is displayed on the
MSP4 while welding. The total energy from the previous
weld will persist on the MSP4 display until another weld
is started, or a user interface control is changed. P.3 will
only show up in the list if the power source is capable of
calculating energy (a power source software update may
be necessary). When P.3 = No, energy will not be
displayed (default). When P.3 = Yes, energy is
displayed.
P.4 Trigger Memory Recall
•Enable = Selecting memories 2 through 6 with quick
trigger pulls is enabled when the optional dual
procedure/memory panel is installed. To recall a
memory with the gun trigger, quickly pull and
release the trigger the number of times that
correspond to the memory number. For example, to
recall memory 3, quickly pull and release the trigger
3 times. Trigger memory recall can only be
performed when the system is not welding.
•Disable = Memory selection is performed only by
the buttons on the optional dual procedure/memory
panel (default).
P.5 Trigger Procedure Change
•Quick Trigger = Allows switching between
Procedure A and procedure B while welding. The
optional dual procedure/memory panel is required.
To operate:
Select procedure “GUN” on the memory panel.
Start the weld by pulling the gun trigger. The
system will weld with procedure A settings.
While welding, quickly release and then pull the
gun trigger. The system will switch to
procedure B settings.
Release the trigger to stop welding. When the
next weld is made, the system will start again
with procedure A.
•Integral TrigProc = Use Integral Trigger + Procedure
Switch when using a Lincoln Dual Schedule gun.
When in 2-step, the system operates identical to the
External Switch selection. To operate in 4-step:
Select procedure “GUN” on the memory panel.
Start the weld by pulling the gun trigger. The
system will weld with procedure A settings.
While welding, quickly release and then pull the

Release the trigger to stop welding. When the
next weld is made, the system will start again
with procedure A.
•External Switch = Dual Procedure selection may
only be performed by the memory panel button or a
dual procedure gun (default).
P.6 Push Pull Gun, Stall Factor Adjustment
The stall factor controls the stall torque of the push
motor when using a push-pull gun. The wire feeder is
factory set to not stall unless there is a large resistance
to feeding wire. The stall factor can be reduced to stall
more easily and possibly prevent bird nesting. However,
low stall factors can cause motor stalling while welding
which results in the wire burning back to the tip. If you
are experiencing bird nests, check for other feeding
problems before adjusting the stall factor. Default value
for the stall factor is 75, with a range of 5 - 100. To
change the stall factor:
•Use the VOLTS/TRIM knob to adjust the stall factor.
Increasing the stall factor raises the motor torque
and decreasing the stall factor lowers the motor
torque. Do not increase the stall factor more than
necessary. A high stall factor may increase the
occurrence of bird nesting and a low stall factor may
cause the wire to burn back to the tip.
•Press the right hand button to save the new setting.
P.7 Push Pull Gun, Gun Offset Adjustment
The push-pull gun offset calibration adjusts the wire feed
speed calibration of the pull motor. The procedure
should only be performed when other possible
corrections do not solve the push-pull feeding problems.
A rpm meter is required to perform the pull gun motor
offset calibration. To perform the calibration procedure:
•Release the pressure arm on both the pull and push
wire drives.
•Set the wire feed speed to 200 rpm.
•Remove wire from the pull wire drive.
•Hold the rpm meter to the drive roll in the pull gun.
•Pull the trigger on the push-pull gun.
•Measure the rpm of the pull motor. The rpm should
be between 115 and 125 rpm. If necessary,
decrease the calibration setting to slow the pull

English English
11
motor, or increase the calibration setting to speed
up the motor. The calibration range is -30 to +30,
with 0 as the default value.
•Press the right hand button to save the new setting.
P.8 TIG Gas Control
Allows control over which gas solenoid actuates while
TIG welding.
•Valve (manual) = No MIG solenoid will actuate while
TIG welding, gas flow is manually controlled by an
external valve.
•Feeder Solenoid = The internal (feeder) MIG
solenoid will turn on and off automatically while TIG
welding.
•Power source Solenoid = Any gas solenoid
connected to the power source will turn on and off
automatically while TIG welding.
Notes:
•Preflow is not available while TIG welding.
•Postflow is available - the same postflow time will be
used in MIG and TIG.
•When machine output on/off is controlled via the
upper right knob, gas flow will not start until the
tungsten touches the work. Gas flow will continue
when the arc is broken until the Postflow time
expires.
•When machine output on/off is controlled via an arc
start switch or foot Amptrol, gas will begin flowing
when the output is turned on and will continue
flowing until the output is turned off and the Postflow
time expires.
P.9 Crater Delay
Use the crater delay to skip the Crater sequence when
making short tack welds. If the trigger is released before
the Crater Delay Timer ends, then the Crater sequence
is skipped. If the trigger is released afterwards, the
Crater sequence functions normally.
•Values = OFF to 10.0 seconds (OFF is default).
P.14 Reset Consumable Weight
This parameter only appears with systems using
Production Monitoring. Use this parameter to reset the
initial weight of the consumable package.
P.16 Push-Pull Gun Knob
•Gun Pot Enabled = The wire feed speed is always
controlled by the potentiometer on the push-pull gun
(default).
•Gun Pot Disabled = The wire feed speed is always
controlled by the left display knob on the feeder.
•Gun Pot Proc A = When in procedure A, the wire
feed speed is set by the push-pull gun
potentiometer. When in procedure B, the wire feed
speed is set by the left display knob on the feeder.
P.17 Remote Control
Selects the type of analog remote control being
used. Digital remote control devices (those with a
digital display) are configured automatically. On
machines that do not have a 12-pin connector, the
“joystick” settings will not appear.
•“All Mode Remote”This setting allows the
remote control to function in all weld modes
which is how most machines with 6-pin and 7-
pin remote control connections operate. This
setting was provided so that customers with a
mix of Lincoln Electric equipment can have
consistent remote control behavior across all
of their equipment.
•“PushPull Gun” - Use this setting while MIG welding
with a push-pull gun that uses a potentiometer for
wire feed speed control. Stick, TIG and gouge
welding currents are set at the User Interface. This
setting is backward compatible with the “PushPull”
settings of P.17 “Gun Selection”.
•“TIG Amp Control” - Use this setting while TIG
welding with a foot or hand current control device
(Amptrol). While TIG welding, the upper left knob
on the User Interface sets the maximum current
obtained when the TIG amp control is at it’s
maximum setting. MIG wire feed speed and
stick/gouge welding currents are set at the User
Interface.
•“Stick/Gouge Rem.” - Use this setting while stick
welding or gouging with a remote output control
device. While stick welding, the upper left knob on
the User Interface sets the maximum current
obtained when the stick remote is at it’s maximum
setting. While gouging, the upper left knob is
disabled and the gouging current is set on the
remote control. MIG wire feed speed and TIG
welding current are set at the User Interface.
•“Joystick MIG gun” (default) - Use this setting while
MIG welding with a push MIG gun with a joystick
control. Stick, TIG and gouge welding currents are
set at the User Interface.
P.20 Display Trim as Volts 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.
P.22 Arc Start/Loss Error Time
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.25 Joystick Configuration
The new analog and digital gun controls have a joystick
to allow the user to change various weld settings at the
gun rather than having to go to the user interface. P.25
can be used to change the behaviour of the joystick. In
all configurations, the up and down joystick positions will
adjust the wire feed speed, while welding and while not
welding. P.25 is used to reconfigure the behaviour of
the left and right joystick positions.
•When P.25 is set to “Trim/Volts/etc.”, the left and
right joystick positions will adjust Arc Length Trim,

English English
12
Arc Voltage, Power or STT Background Current
based on the selected weld mode. For example,
when a non-synergic STT weld mode is selected,
the left and right joystick positions will adjust
Background Current. When a Power mode is
selected, the left and right joystick positions will
adjust the Power (kW).
•When P.25 is set to “Memory+Trim/etc.”, the left
and right joystick positions will select a user memory
while not welding and adjust
Trim/Voltage/Power/STT Background Current while
welding.
•When P.25 is set to “Procedure A/B”, the left and
right joystick positions will be used to select
procedure A and B, while welding and while not
welding. The left joystick position selects procedure
A, the right joystick position selects procedure B.
P.26 Show Memory LED?
On user interfaces that support user memories but do
not have dedicated user memory buttons, this parameter
is used to show or hide the LED that is used to select a
user memory to save to or recall from. When P.26 is set
to Yes, the user memory LED will be shown and the
operator can save to and recall from user memories.
When P.26 is set to No, the user memory LED will not
be shown, preventing the operator from saving to and
recalling from user memories.
