Menu structure

Secondary parameters (menu main level)

With the   and 

 51

 push-buttons you can switch between 

the secondary parameters. The currently selected parameter 

is indicated in the display

 50

. The value in the square brackets 

is a standard or suggested value.
Push-button

 44

 (-) is used to reduce the indicated parameter 

and push-button

 48

 (+) is used to increase the value of the in-

dicated parameter. By actuating the push-button

 46

 (END) 

the system switches back to the material-wire-gas combina-

tion display.

Extras menu

In addition to the secondary parameters, the Extras menu 

item is also available; it offers the following functions:
Push-buttons

 44

 (-) and

 48

 (+) are used to switch between the 

menu items. The different entries of the menu items are called 

up by pressing the   und   push-buttons

 51

 at the same 

time. Switching between the individual entries is also possible 

here with the push-buttons

 44

 (-) and

 48

  (+). To return, press 

push-button

 46

 (END).

Tiptronic

The Tiptronic function provides you with 100 independent 

jobs (10 job set with 10 jobs each). A job stores all the settings 

and corrections on the operating panel.
The best way to use the Tiptronic function is to assign job 

numbers to frequently recurring welding tasks or save the set-

tings which individual welders use specifically for “their” jobs.

Programming jobs:



Determine the optimal welding adjustment.



Press the “TT Save” button

 45

 (Save LED flashes).



Select the target job number with the push-buttons

 44

 (-) 

and

 48

 (+) or with the torch rocker, and confirm with the 

“TT Enter” push-button

 47

 (if you do not press Enter, the 

Save LED goes out after 10 s after the last keystroke and 
the save operation is aborted).



The Save and Enter LEDs flash briefly to confirm that pro-
gramming is terminated.
