The Setup menu

General

The Setup menu provides easy access to expert knowledge in the power source and to
additional functions. The Setup menu can be used to make simple adjustments of the weld-
ing parameters to suit the various job settings.

The following can be found in the Setup menu:
-

Setup parameters that have an immediate effect on the welding process

Setup parameters needed for making the preliminary settings on the welding system

The welding parameters are arranged in logical groups. Each of these groups is called up
by pressing a different combination of buttons.

Overview

"The Setup menu" is composed of the following sections:
-

Shielding gas setup menu

TIG setup menu

TIG setup menu: level 2

Rod electrode setup menu

Rod electrode setup menu: level 2
