6.3 Welding Conditions
This section explains basic welding conditions with useful functions.
6.3.1
Basic welding conditions
This section explains the basic welding conditions. To carry out the welding operation, the followings
should be considered:
•
Plate thickness and materials of welding material
•
Type and flow rate of shield gas
•
Wire type and wire diameter, and welding method (type of welding)
•
Welding current and welding voltage
6.3.2
Useful functions
This section explains the useful functions for the welding power source.
•
Registration of welding conditions (
Memory Function of Welding Conditions)
Using the memory function of the welding condition enables to register the welding current/voltage,
shield gas type, and wire type/wire diameter currently set, and reads them out for use.

TORCH key
Select air-cooled welding torch or water-cooled welding torch to be used. Switching the
mode is enabled by pressing the key.
• When the LED is ON: water-cooled welding torch mode
• When the LED is OFF: air-cooled welding torch mode
22
VOLT.ADJUST key
Sets welding voltage. Switching the mode is enabled by pressing the key.
• When the LED of the VOLT. ADJUST key is on: SYNERGIC mode. (The welding voltage
is automatically set according to the set welding current. To fine-tune welding voltage,
adjust the synergic fine adjustment knob.)
• When the LED of the VOLT. ADJUST key is off: INDIVIDUAL mode. (In the individual
adjustment setting, welding current and welding voltage are adjusted respectively.)
23
WELD MONITOR key
Sets welding control function. (See Chapter 7 Administrator Functions.)
Pressing this key for a second or more lights up the LED, and the sequence transits to the
welding control mode.
24
LOAD key
Reads the registered welding condition from the internal memory. (

25
SAVE key
Registers the set welding condition in the internal memory. (
26
ENTER key
Carries out the administrative functions such as key lock, password, and registration of
welding condition to the memory.
Depressing the key for three seconds or more makes the LED lit, enabling the key lock
function.
27
WARNING/Temperature LED
Lights up or flashes when any failure or abnormal condition occurs in the welding power
source. (
