Pre gas
0.0 ... 9.9 s, step 0.1
0.0 = OFF Welding function that starts the shielding
gas flow before the arc ignites. This ensures
that the metal does not come into con-
tact with air at the start of the weld. Time
value is preset by the user. Used for all
metals, but especially for stainless steel, alu-
minum and titanium.
Creep start
10...90 %, step 1 The Creep start function defines the wire
feed speed before the welding arc ignites,
that is, before the filler wire comes in con-
tact with the workpiece. When the arc
ignites, the wire feed speed is automatically
switched to the normal user-set speed. The
Creep start function is always on.
Crater fill
ON/OFF When welding with high power, a crater is
usually formed at the end of the weld. The
Crater fill function decreases the welding
power / wire feed speed at the end of the
welding job so that the crater can be filled
using a lower power level. With MIG pro-
cess, Crater fill duration, wire feed speed
and voltage are preset by the user.
When the wire feed speed is less than 5
m/min, the adjustment step is 0.05 and
when the wire feed speed is 5 m/min or
more, the adjustment step is 0.1.
For 1-MIG process, refer to the 1-MIG
parameter table.
- Crater fill duration
0.0 ... 10.0 s, step 0.1
Default = 1.0 s
- Crater fill wire feed speed
0.5 ... 25.0 m/min, step 0.05 or 0.1
Default = 5 m/min
- Crater fill voltage
450A: 10 ... 45 V
500A: 10 ... 50 V
Step 0.1 V
Default = 18V
Post gas
0.0 ... 9.9 s, step 0.1
0.0 = OFF Welding function that continues the shield-
ing gas flow after the arc has extinguished.
This ensures that the hot weld does not
come into contact with air after the arc is
extinguished, protecting the weld and also
the electrode. Used for all metals. Especially
stainless steel and titanium require longer
post gas times.
Wire feed speed
0.50 ... 25 m/min, step 0.05 or 0.1
Default = 5.00 m/min Wire feed speed adjustment. When the
wire feed speed is less than 5 m/min, the
adjustment step is 0.05 and when the wire
feed speed is 5 m/min or more, the adjust-
ment step is 0.1.
Wire feed speed limit min
Min/Max = 0.5 ... 25 m/min, step 0.1
Default = 0.5 m/min Minimum and maximum limits for the wire
feed speed adjustment.
Wire feed speed limit max
Min/Max = 0.5 ... 25 m/min, step 0.1
Default = 25 m/min
