Advanced Setting - Snap-On MIG185i Manual Del Usuario

With more wire out (stick out), you have a more concentrated
arc that generates a higher, more pronounced and a
slightly stretched out weld bead; if you wish to intervene,
it is necessary to increase the arc voltage value.
A higher arc voltage greater contributes to further spread
the weld bead material, keeping practically unchanged
the penetration that instead depends mainly on the value
of current, on the wire speed and on the inductance.
0. The value can be changed by means of the knob
from -9.9 to 9.9. To exit from the function, briefly press the
B
knob .
• Process
B
Use knob to choose or confirm a welding mode by se-
lecting and pressing Short or Pulsed for at least 2 seconds.
Short indicates that the short synergic welding mode is
selected.
Pulsed indicates that the pulsed synergic welding mode
is selected.
• Welding mode (Start Mode).
To choose the welding start mode 2T, 4T or 3L, select
one of the 2 modes by means of the knob
B
press the knob for less than 2 seconds to confirm
the choice. This operation always returns us to the
previous display page (PROCESS PARAMS).
Mode 2T, the machine starts welding when the torch
button is pressed and stops when this is released.
Mode 4T, to start welding, press and release the torch
button. To complete welding, press and release again.

B
By changing the value, once having exited the sub-menu,
alongside the voltage V, an arrow will appear turned
upwards to indicate a higher adjustment of the set value,
while the arrow turned downwards will indicate a lower
adjustment.
B
Mode 3L Specially well suited to weld aluminium.
3 currents are available that can be used in welding by
means of the welding torch start button. The current
and the slope time values are set as follows:
Start Curr, starting current, adjustable from 10 to
200% of set welding current.
Slope time, possibility of adjusting from 0.1 to 10
seconds. Defines the connection time between starting
current (Start Curr) and welding current and between
welding current and crater filler current or crater filling
at the welding end (Crater Curr).Possibility of adjusting
and
from 10 to 200% of the set welding current.
Welding starts at the welding torch button pressure.
The named current will be the starting current Start
Curr. This current is kept as long as the welding torch
button is held down; when the welding torch button is
released the starting current connects to the welding
current, which is kept as long as the welding torch
button is held down. When the torch trigger is pressed
again, the welding current will connect to the crater-
filler current (Crater- Curr) and it will be maintained
until the torch button is released.
