Quick Set-up Guide 8020 &

8040 Magnetic Arc Controls

The Cycloma c™ 8020 and 8040 Magne c Arc Controls can be somewhat

confusing for those unfamiliar with the system. This guide will help with

ini al setup and will get you up and running in no  me.

Dip Switch Se ngs

Stabilize / Oscillate DIP Switch

29 in 8020, Figure 24 in 8040.

Inhibit DIP Switch

Posi on 1 of S4, the Inhibit DIP Switch, should be Closed. Posi on 2 should be Open. This is the default

confi gura on as shown in the manual, Figure 20 in 8020, Figure 15 in 8040.

Taper DIP Switch

Posi on 1 of S5, the Taper DIP Switch: Set in Closed positon. Posi on 2 of S5: Set in Open posi on. This

is the default confi gura on as shown in the manual, Figure 22 in 8020, Figure 17 in 8040.

Front Panel Controls

Adjust the following front panel controls to the values listed:

Sweep: 000 Posi on: 500 Le Dwell: 000

Strike an Arc

Strike an arc and allow it to stabilize. At this point, the operator will not see any signifi cant change in the arc

ac on, but we do have control of the arc with the magne c fi eld.

Posi on Adjustment

With the arc established, adjust the Posi on control to posi on the arc directly below the Torch (tungsten).

This adjustment off sets the posi on of the arc and makes up for the probe mechanical moun ng errors.

Make a note of the Posi on Dial Reading. This is your Centered posi on. See Figure 16 in 8020, Figures 10,

11, 12 in 8040.

the desired arc oscilla on width is reached, make a note of the Amplitude value.

Le & Right Dwell

Once amplitude is adjusted, slowly increase the Dwell adjustments to begin contouring the weld bead to

your desired shape. Increasing the Dwell values adds  me to the Dwell func ons.

Sweep

The Sweep adjustment also performs bead contouring. Increasing the Sweep values increases the transi on

 me between the Le and Right Dwell.

Taper

Taper is used during the downslope of amperage. As amperage decreases during downslope, the arc be-

comes easier for the Magne c Arc Control (Mag Arc) to move. To keep the Mag Arc on at the same ampli-

fast so that you can begin to realize the benefi t of the Magne c Arc Control system. You should now begin

to step through the func ons and fi ne tune the system to achieve your goals.
