3.5.2 TRITON 400/500 adjustable arcforcing
Adjustment at 8 levels is possible before and during the welding operation.
Settings are made on the inner scale:
"Rutile" setting::
Low arcforcing
⇒
gentle arc,
little increased current before short-circuit.
Used with stick electrodes enveloped with rutile.
"Bas" setting:
Moderate arcforcing
⇒
normal arc,
moderate increased current before short-circuit.
Used with stick electrodes enveloped with basic material.
"Cell" setting:
High arcforcing
⇒
hard arc,
high increased current before short-circuit.
Used with cellulose stick electrodes.
3.6 MIG/MAG welding (Option)
If welding is performed alternately by different methods, e.g. TIG, MIG/MAG or MMA and if
one or two welding torches and an electrode holder are connected to the machine, the
open-circuit/welding voltage is applied simultaneously to both!
Therefore, always place the torch and the electrode holder on an insulated surface before
starting work and during breaks.
•
To be able to use the MIG/MAG welding process, a wire feed unit must be connected.
The MIG/MAG function sequences are described in the operating instructions of the wire
feed unit.
•
Adjust the appropriate changeover switches to the following settings:
GMAW
MIG/MAG
•
Adjust further settings on the WF unit.
3.6.1 TRITON 260
In MIG/MAG welding, only the following operating and display elements on the welding
machine are active:
•
The digital display,
•
the welding voltage or current changeover switch display (C1),
•
the characteristics changeover switch (Chap. 2, G2) on the rear of the welding machine:
Characteristics 1:
0.8-1.0 MIG/MAG GMAW (welding with steel wire),
Characteristics 2: 0.9-1.2 FCAW (welding with cored wire),
•
Rotary switch Dynamic correction / choke effect setting.
