Pre-gas
0 - 25 secs.
Torch purge time and to protect the area with gas before ignition
Approach speed
50 - 200 %
Progressive wire speed. Before the arcing, the wire arrives slowly to create the first
contact without causing a jolt.
Hot Start
50 - 200 %
The Hot Start is an overcurrent during generated during the arcing phase to prevent
the wire from sticking. It is adjustable in intensity (% of welding current) and time
(seconds).
0 - 5 secs.
Crater Filler
50 - 100 %
This current treshold when stopped is a phase after the current downslope.
It is adjustable in intensity (% of welding current) and time (seconds).
Post gaz
0 - 25 secs.
Duration for which gas is released after the arc has stopped. It protects the weld pool
and the electrode against oxidisation when the metal is cooling down.
Access to some welding parameters depends on the selected display mode: Settings/User Level: Easy, Expert, Advanced.
• GMAW/MIG-MAG Pulse
The principle is to create a high amperage pulse welding current in order for the wire to melt into thin drops before it comes in contact with the metal
plate. The frequency of drops and the diffused energy are perfectly controlled. This helps to control the temperature of the weld pool, improve the
appearance of the beads while eliminating projections and improving penetration.
Pulse is beneficial when light alloys and stainless steels. For carbon steels, pulse will only be justified when working with additional constraint such as
high penetration or finish removal. In addition, the pulse feature makes it easier to weld in position.
• Arc Module (ModulArc) Pulse
This Pulse welding mode is suitable for applications in the vertical up position (PF). The pulse mode keeps the weld pool cold and eases the transfer
of matter. Without the pulse mode, vertical-up welding requires a difficult «Christmas tree» shape triangular movement. Thanks to the Pulse welding
mode, it is no longer necessary to make this movement, depending on the thickness of your part, a straight upward movement may be sufficient. If
however you wish to widen your weld pool, a simple lateral movement is enough (normal welding movement). In this case the pulse current frequency
can be adjusted on the display. This process allows greater control during vertical-up welding.

Soft Start
0 - 2 secs.
Progressive current rise. In order to avoid abrupt starts or jolts, the current is controlled
