Welding

A.

Plasma welding

1.

Current down slope time can be adjusted at poti 

c

 to give a delay time of 0,5 to 5,0 s. 

after the third operation in the 4-stroke mode has been activated (see t

a

 in diagram).

2.

Position of poti 

h

 defines duration of current up-slope (see t

r

 in diagram), whereas  time of

down-slope t

f

 is set at poti 

m

.

3.

Activate torch- or foot switch (lamp 

g

 will light) 1. and 2. stroke.

4.

To finish the welding operation, down-slope is initiated by actuating torch- or foot- switch.

3. stroke (closing of keyhole)

5.

After the time set at poti 

c

 has passed, down-slope starts. When down-slope is over, 

switch can be released.
