The display presents the
following information.

Display shows the welding current
„V“
Display shows the welding voltage
„A-V“ Display works in duplex operation and it shows the
welding current and the welding voltage alternate.

Hotstart settings for the welding current and the parameter
At first the height of the needed welding current is based upon the used electrode diameter. In
addition the material thickness of the base material, the material and the welding position have
essential influence on the needed current so that only approximate reference values will be
furnished on this position.
The following worths are the benchmark:
Electrodes- Ø (mm)
2,0
2,5
3,25
4,0
5,0
Current (A)
40-80
60-100
90-150
140-180
170-230
So that you obtain a good fusion penetration in the area of the initial weld, you can use the
hotstart function. During the hot start time, the welding current will be increased by a defined
percentage value over the value of the welding current. The accelerated fusing will be enabled
during the start phase therefore. The current drops to the value of the appointed welding
current after the expiration of the hotstart time. The hotstart current and hotstart time can be
changed, so you can ideal adjust the requirement.
