TIG mode:

 in Local and remote mode the output 

of the machine is OFF.  A Trigger is necessary to 
enable the output. 

 

  

  

 

 

  

 

The Output Current range selectable from the 
Remote command depends by the Machine’s user 
interface Output Current Knob.  Eg.: if  the Output 
Current is set to 100A with the Machine’s user 
interface Output Current Knob, the Remote 
command will adjust the Output Current from a 
minimum of 2A to a maximum of 100A. 

 

Remote Pedal: For a correct use, the “option 30” 
must be enabled in the setup menu: 

  2-step sequence is automatically selected 

  Upslope / Downslope ramps and Restart are 

disabled. 

 Spot, Bi-Level and 4-step functions aren’t 

selectable 

 
(Normal operation is restored when the Remote 
command is disconnected.) 

 

Thermal LED: 

 

This indicator will turn on when the machine is 
overheated and the output has been disabled.  This 
normally occurs when the duty cycle of the machine has 
been exceeded.  Leave the machine on to allow the 
internal components to cool.  When the indicator turns 
off, normal operation is again possible. 
 

Mode Pushbutton: 

 

This pushbutton changes the welding modes of the 
machine: 

 Stick 

 

(SMAW) 

  Lift TIG  

(GTAW) 

  HF TIG  

(GTAW) 

 Spot 

TIG 

  (GTAW) 

The Spot TIG feature is selectable only if the “option 
10” is previously enabled in the Setup Menu.  See 
“Setup menu” section for options enabling / disabling. 

 
Each welding mode is is detailed in the Operating 
instruction section. 
 

Trigger Mode Pushbutton: 

 

This pushbutton changes the trigger sequence in TIG 
welding mode: 

  2-step / 4-step with restart  This option is not 

selectable by the Trigger Pushbutton and, if enabled, 
operates with 2 or 4 step mode: 

 

 

This indicator will turn on if the restart option is enabled 
for the current TIG trigger mode.  Restart can be 
enabled separately for 2-step and 4-step modes from the 
Setup Menu.  More information about restart is available 
in the Operating instruction section. 

 2-step 

 4-step 

 Bi-Level 

Each trigger mode is detailed in the Operating instruction 
section. 
 

SEL Pushbutton:

 

 

The SELect pusbutton is used to scroll the TIG welding 
parameters.  At each pressure the relevant led is 
switched on and the displays show the current value of 
the parameter.  If a parameter is disabled for the current 
mode of working it will be skipped.  The user can then 
modify this value turning the Output Current knob.  If no 
change is made after a timeout (4s), the displays and 
LEDs will revert to the default state, where the Output 
Current knob sets the output current. 
 

Memory Pushbutton: 

 

This pusbutton allows to store (

M) or recall (M

) TIG 

welding programs.  9 memory records (P01 to P9) are 
available for the user. 
 
To store or recall a record:  Push until the Store (

M) or 

Recall (M

) LED is ON according to the desired 

operation 
Into the follow display 

 

will appear, turning the knob, from P01 to P10, all the 
possible programs. 
 
Then keep pushed for 4s  

 

The Memory pushbutton is disabled during welding. 
 
See “List of parameters and Factory stored programs” 
section below for a complete list of factory stored 
programs.
