7.2.3 INI.&CRATER
•
Apply welding operation at initial current (ini-
tial welding) before main welding, and then
crater welding follows. Welding at initial cur-
rent is effective for smooth arc start at the
weld start.
•
Operation: Turn on/off the torch switch
twice. The section between the first torch on
and the first off is the initial welding section.
7.2.4 CRATER REPEAT
•
By enabling the crater repeat (CRATER REP) set-
ting, it is possible to apply repetitive crater opera-
tion in CRATER, INI.&CRATER. (See section
“Detail mode: Group3: Submenu 00 on page
104)
•
To repeat crater welding, turn on the torch
switch in a certain time (Trep) after terminat-
ing the crater operation. It is possible to
repeat this operation over and over.
Note
The crater repeat function is canceled if the torch
switch is not turned on within the preset Trep time.

Self-hold: It retains the torch switch state until the next

no-arc state lasts 0.5 second or longer while welding.
