Settings

Parameter Parameter value Description
Remote ON/OFF
Default = OFF
Select whether remote is used.
Note: This setting does not affect and is not affected by the HR55 remote control.
Remote selection Hand remote / Gun remote
Default = Hand remote
Note: This setting does not affect and is not affected by the HR55 remote control.
Remote mode Wire feed speed / Channel
Default = Wire feed speed
This determines what is changed with the remote, wire feed speed or memory channel (available channels: 1...5).
Note: If the HR55 remote control is also connected, the parameter that is selected here cannot be adjusted with the HR55 remote control.
Remote min. Defined by the active welding program Minimum and maximum limits for the remote wire feed speed adjustment.
Remote max. Defined by the active welding program
Cable calibration
(MIG only)
Start/Cancel Calibration information on the previous calibration is also shown. Refer to Calibrating welding cable for cable calibration.
Water cooler OFF/Auto/ON
Default = Auto
When ON is selected, the coolant is circulated continually, and when Auto is selected, the coolant is circulated only during welding.
Cycle timer ON/OFF
Default = OFF
Cycle timer is a welding function that automatically produces a weld or welds of predefined duration. For more information, refer to Cycle timer.
- Cycle arc time 0.0 ... 60.0 s
Default = 2.0 s
- Cycle pause ON/OFF
Default = OFF
- Cycle pause time 0.1 ... 3.0 s, step 0.1 s
Default = 0.1 s
WF end step OFF/ON
Default = OFF
Wire feed end step feature prevents the filler wire from sticking to the contact tip when the welding ends.
Subfeeder Subfeeder model / OFF
Default = OFF
If a compatible subfeeder is connected, select the subfeeder from the list.
Compatible subfeeders:
SuperSnake GTX 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, 25 m, Binzel PP401D, Binzel PP36D.
Note: For the best possible welding result when using the pulse and MAX welding processes with a subfeeder device, we recommend a maximum subfeeder cable length of 10 meters (SuperSnake GTX 10 m). This recommendation assumes that you are using a 5-meter welding gun cable and a 15-meter earth return cable together with the subfeeder. In some cases, it is possible to weld with pulse and MAX welding processes with a 15-meter subfeeder device, but a test weld is advised.
Arc verification OFF, 1 ... 365
Default = OFF
This defines the number of days until the next device verification reminder.
Weld data duration 0...10 s, step 1
Default = 5 s
This defines how long the weld data summary is shown after each weld.
Safe wire inch
(MIG only)
OFF/ON
Default = ON
When ON, and the arc doesn't ignite, the filler wire is fed 5 cm. When OFF, 5 m of filler wire is fed.
Gas guard (not available in Master M 353)
ON/OFF
Default = OFF
Gas guard prevents welding without shielding gas.
Voltage display Arc voltage / Terminal voltage
Default = Arc voltage
This defines which is shown on the control panel display, arc or terminal voltage.
Wire inch 0.5 ... 18.0 m/min
Default = 5.0 m/min
Drive the filler wire forward (with arc off).
Gas test 0 … 60 s
Default = 20 s
Test the shielding gas flow and flush the gas line.
Language Available languages  
PIN code ON/OFF 4-digit PIN code for locking parameters and settings. PIN lock does not prevent welding, browsing Powerlog levels or selecting memory channel.
Demo time (not available in Master M 353) OFF/ON The demo time feature allows you to try out optional welding features and functions without a license for a limited time. The total available demo time is 3 hours. The demo time passes only when welding using a welding feature you don't have a license for. When the demo time is set to ON, the remaining time is shown on the display.
Device info

Shows information on the device and its usage.
Factory reset Reset/Cancel
Default = Cancel
Restores factory settings. Note that the arc verification parameter value is also reset.
