FUNCT

The controller has five soft keys. Pressing the far right key

”2ND FUNCT” accesses an additional five soft keys.

When you assign functions to the keys, these are numbered from the left as follows

How to assign a new function to a soft key:

S

Position the cursor on the function row with the function ”NONE” and press the

soft key with the function that is to switch key number,

S

Repeat the above for the key with the key number to be used.

S

Position the cursor on the function row to which you want to give a new key

number and press the soft key to which you want to assign the function.

The other two keys can each have a new function assigned in the same way, by

pairing one of the functions in the left--hand column with a key number in the

right--hand column.

Gas purge

The gas purge function is used when measuring the gas flow or to purge the gas

hoses of any air and moisture before welding commences. Gas purging proceeds as

long as the key is pressed down, and is conducted without voltage and wire feed

being switched on.

Cold wire feed (wire inching)

Cold wire feed is used when you want to feed the wire without switching on the

welding voltage. The wire is fed at the set wire feed speed as long as the button is

pressed down.
