7.2 Electrode welding
Connect the electrode holder to the Plus socket as illustrated. Please always observe the specifications of the
electrode manufacturer in relation to polarity! The wire feed unit with control lead must remain plugged into
the machine.
7.2.1 Potentiometer for welding current control
In order to regulate the strength of the welding current in electrode operating mode, the potentiometer must
be connected to the 17-pole remote control socket as shown in the circuit diagram. In MIG mode, you must
also call the remote control function via Fx and, for EC1, you must set the “Curr – CAn” parameter.
7.2.2 Starting the welding process
Set the control box to electrode operating mode, set the parameters for the welding task, and place the
electrode on the workpiece.
7.2.3 Setting the hotstart and arc force parameters
For an enhanced start to the welding process, you can set an increased start current using the hotstart
parameter (tap the Fx button). You can choose a start current within the range of 0% (no increase) to 150%
of the welding current. The duration for hotstart is set at 1 second and cannot be changed. You can use the
arc force parameter to minimize adherence of the electrode during welding. If the electrode seems likely to
adhere in the weld pool, it is burned free with short pulses of current. You can choose an arc force value
between 100% and 250% of the welding current. A value greater than 200% is recommended for cell
electrodes.
