TRANSARC 170i
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND SETUP 3-4 Manual 0-5280
Programming Parameter Control Panel Display
Base Current
This parameter sets the STICK weld
current.
Range is 5 to 170A. Factory default
is 120A.
Arc Force
Arc Force is effective when in
STICK mode only. Arc Force control
provides an adjustable amount of
Arc Force (or "dig") control. This
feature can be particularly beneficial
in providing the operator the ability
to compensate for variability in
joint fit-up in certain situations with
particular electrodes. In general
increasing the Arc Force control
toward 100% (maximum Arc
Force) allows greater penetration
control to be achieved.
Range is 0 to 100%. Factory default
is 30%.
LIFT TIG Programming Mode
Programming Parameter Control Panel Display
Initial Current
This parameter operates in TIG
mode only and is used to set the
start current for TIG. In 4T mode
the Initial Current remains on until
the torch trigger switch is released
after it has been depressed. In 2T
mode this is the Initial Current for
the Up Slope current ramp.
Range is 5 to 170A. Factory default
is 30A.
