TIG ignition type signal light 

Signal light on: Lift arc ignition active/HF start off. You can switch the ignition type in the 

Expert menu (TIG)

 > see 5.2.4 chapter

 

Signal light - display value in hertz 

 

Signal light - display value in kilohertz 

 

Signal light - display value in seconds 

 

Signal light - display value in per cent 

  Signal light - display value in millimetres 

  Signal light - display value in inch 

 

Excess temperature signal light 

In case of excess temperature, temperature monitors de-activate the power unit, and 

the excess temperature control lamp comes on. Once the machine has cooled down, 

welding can continue without any further measures. 

 

Coolant fault signal light 

Signals pressure loss or low coolant level in the coolant circuit. 

10 

 

Welding current signal light 

Display of the welding current in amperes.

Character   function signal light 

Indicates that it is possible to weld in an environment with major electric hazards, such 

as in boilers. Service must be informed if this signal light is not on.
