5.10.4.4  Accessory components for operating point setting 

The operating point can also be set with various accessory components such as 

• remote 

controls 

• special 

torches 

• PC 

software 

•  robot and industrial bus interfaces (optional mechanised welding interface required – not possible for 

all machines in this series!) 

You will find an overview of accessory components in the "Accessories" chapter. See the operating 
instructions for the machine in question for a more detailed description of the individual machines and 
their functions. 

5.10.5 MIG/MAG 

welding data display 

To the left and right of the LCD display on the control there are 2 “arrow keys” on each side for selecting 

the welding parameter to be displayed. The 

 button is used to scroll through the parameters from the 

bottom upwards and the 

 button is used to scroll downwards from the top. 

As soon as changes have been made to the settings after welding (display on hold values), the display 
switches back to the nominal values.
