Functional sequence
1. Pull back and hold trigger
- Gas pre-flow time elapses
- LArc ignites at the pre-set start arc value I
S
(with HF ignition: HF cuts out automati-
cally after the ignition cycle)
- After ignition, the welding current rises via the internally pre-set upslope to the
welding current I
H
- LED (10) lights up
2. Release trigger
- Arc goes out (with or without downslope)
- Internally pre-set gas post-flow time elapses
If a TR 52mc pedal remote-control unit is being used, the machine automatically
