5.3.5.3 3-cycle operation
Figure 5-44
This operating mode differs from non-latched operation in the following ways:
• Once the third cycle (current) has started, the wire electrode is fed, corresponding to the welding cur-
rent, until the welding process ends.
5.3.5.4 Latched mode
Figure 5-45
This operating mode differs from non-latched operation in the following ways:
• Wire feeding is started by pressing and releasing (tapping) the BRT 1.
• By pressing and releasing (tapping) the BRT 1 again, wire feeding will stop. (It is not necessary to
keep the torch trigger pressed. This is especially helpful with long welding seams.)
5.4 Power-saving mode (Standby)
You can activate the power-saving mode by either pressing the push-button
> see 4 chapter
for a prolon-
ged time or by setting a parameter in the machine configuration menu (time-controlled power-saving
mode
)
> see 5.7 chapter
.
When power-saving mode is activated, the machine displays show the horizontal digit in the
centre of the display only.
Pressing any operating element (e.g. turning a rotary knob) deactivates power-saving mode and the ma-
chine is ready for welding again.
