1 – Alarm – Er 2, Er 3 or Er 4 (see errors description page on this user's guide)
2 – Alarm – thermal surcharge ( Er 1 ) – When lighted indicates that thermal switch is activated by overload not allowing
operation. The thermal switch is placed on the main transformer central coil.
3 – Machine under voltage – When lighted indicates that machine is under voltage.
4 – Digital display – Shows the selected parameter value (Mecapulse times and wire speed adjustment). During welding:
- the digital display indicates welding current value
- when the button is rotated the digital display shows the wire motor speed m/min, after this adjustment automatically
returns to welding current value.
5 – V+ Mecapulse – When selected allow adjust upper speed time.
6 - V- Mecapulse – When selected allow adjust lower speed time.
7 – I2 – Welding current – When selected welding current is showed on the digital display.
8 – Wire speed – When selected allows adjust, by means of the adjusting button, the wire speed between 0 and 18
m/min. This parameter is continuous active; with machine running, select this function with key button 9 to adjust wire speed.
9 – Selector key button – Selects to adjust Mecapulse times and wire speed adjustment and to display welding current
reading.
10 - Arcair mode (cutting and gouging) - only available on MIG 500 M (optional) and MIG 650 M.
11 – Mecapulse – When selected indicates that machine is on Mecapulse mode, with wire speed oscillating between two
levels V+ and V- during two adjustable periods between 0.1 and 0.5 seconds (see #5 and #6). This function is specially
recommended to weld separated plates with fewer spatters and less distortion, replacing, in many cases, the electronic
pulse mode.
12 – Spot mode – When selected, indicates that machine is at spot welding mode, automatically interrupting the welding
at the end of the adjusted period (seconds).
13 – 2 times mode – When selected indicates that machine is under 2 times torch mode. To continuous welding torch
trigger must be always pressed.
14 - 4 times mode – When selected indicates that machine is on 4 times torch mode. Under extensive welding seams, the
operator can press and release torch trigger; the machine continues to welding. Press and release button to stop welding.
15 – Arcair/Spot/Mecapulse/2T/4T key button selector.
16 – Digital display – Shows the selected parameter value (Welding voltage, Up-slope time, Burn-back time, Spot time
and Post-gas time). During welding, the digital display indicates the welding voltage value.
17 – Selecting key button – Selects to adjust post-gas, spot, burn-back and up-slope time and welding voltage
parameter.
18 – Post-gas – When selected allows adjusting, between 0 and 10 seconds, the gas flow time after stop welding; this
protects the welding seam from oxidation and cools the torch.
