Trigger logic functions

With X5 Wire Feeder 200 Manual, 300 Manual and HD300 M you can select the trigger logic by pressing the trigger logic selection button in the control panel (Using X5 Manual control panel).

With X5 Wire Feeder 300 AP/APC you can select the trigger logic in the Welding parameters view (AP/APC control panel: Welding parameters).

2T

In 2T, pressing the trigger ignites the arc. If pre gas is set, pressing the trigger starts the shielding gas flow before the arc ignites. Releasing the trigger switches the arc off and starts post gas (if set).

>>  For 2T trigger logic with Hot Start and Crater fill, refer to Hot start and crater fill functions.

4T

In 4T, pressing the trigger starts the pre gas, and releasing the trigger ignites the arc. Pressing the trigger again switches the arc off. Releasing the trigger ends the gas flow via the post gas phase (if set).

>>  For 4T trigger logic with Hot Start and Crater fill, refer to Hot start and crater fill functions.

Powerlog

X5 WF AP/APC

Powerlog trigger logic function allows the user to switch between two or three different power levels. In Powerlog, pressing the trigger starts the pre gas, and releasing the trigger ignites the arc. A quick press of the trigger during welding switches between levels (after the last defined power level the first level is selected). Long-pressing the trigger at any of the levels during welding switches the arc off.

To take Powerlog into use, go to the control panel's Welding parameters view and select Powerlog as the trigger logic. Once selected, choose whether 2 or 3 power levels are used. Still in the Welding parameters view, set up the power levels for this function. The parameters available for adjustment are:

Wire feed speed and its minimum and maximum values
Voltage / Fine tuning
Dynamics (not available with MAX Cool).

The wire feed speed of each level can also be adjusted in the Home view. Pressing the left control knob button changes between levels. Green color indicates the selected Powerlog level:

Powerlog trigger logic is not available together with WiseSteel feature or with manual MIG, MAX Speed, MAX Position or DPulse processes.
Powerlog trigger logic cannot be used together with a remote control. If a Powerlog memory channel is selected when a remote control is in use, the trigger logic is automatically switched to 4T.
