This function must be enabled before use- See 5.12 Machine configuration menu chapter.
In contrast to the spotarc operating mode, the arc ignites not by pressing the torch trigger as is usual, but
by shortly touching the tungsten electrode against the workpiece. The torch trigger is used for process
activation. The process can be activated separately for each spot or permanently- See 5.12 Machine
configuration menu chapter:
• Separate process activation:
The welding process has to be reactivated for every arc ignition by pressing the torch trigger.
• Permanent process activation:
The welding process is activated by pressing the torch trigger once. The following arc ignitions are
initiated by shortly touching the tungsten electrode against the workpiece.
Selection and adjustment are made in the same way as with spotArc operating mode "- See
5.7.8.4 spotArc chapter".
