with  cellulose  type  of  coating  (TsTs-1,  WSTs-4A),  it  is  recommended  to  set  the 
slope [CVC] to 0.2 ... 0.6 V/A and sometimes it is necessary to raise the «Arc-Force» 
function  [U.AF]  up  to  a  value  of  18V.  The  order  of  changing  the  value  of  any 
function in the current welding mode, see cl. 6.1. 

 

3.6 SHORT ARC WELDING FUNCTION  

This  function  is  particularly  relevant  when  welding  ceiling  joints,  when  it  is 

necessary that the arc should not be too stretched. For this, the machine provides 

the  ability  to  turn  on  the  “Short  Arc”  [Sh.A]  function  in  the  “On”  position.  By 
default, it is in the “OFF” position. The order of changing the value of any function 

in the current welding mode, see cl. 6.1. 
 

3.7 FUNCTION OF AN O

PEN‐CIRCUIT VOLTAGE REDUCTION UNIT

 

When carrying out welding works in tanks, capacities, and where an enhanced 

electrical  safety  system  is  necessary,  the 

function  of  an  open‐circuit  voltage 

reduction unit can be activated.  

When  the  electrode  is  removed  from  the  product,  after  0.1  seconds  the 

voltage at the source terminals decreases to a safe level - below 12 V. 

This requires a 

function of an open‐circuit voltage reduction unit 

[BSn], which 

is in this model of equipment, but by default is in the “OFF” posi

tion, i.e. turned off, 

because turning on any such function slightly worsens the arc ignition. The order of 
changing the value of any function in the current welding mode, see cl. 6.1. 

 

3.8 PULSE CURRENT WELDING FUNCTION 

This  function  is  intended  to  facilitate  the  welding  process  control  in  spatial 

positions other than the lower one, as well as during non-ferrous metals welding. 
The  impact  occurs  directly  on  the  mixing  of  the  molten  weld  metal  and  on  the 
transfer of the drop into the weld pool, and this in turn affects the stability of the 
weld  formation  and  the  welding  process.  In  other  words,  this  process  to  some 
extent  replaces  the  welder's  hand  movements,  this  is  especially  applicable  when 
welding in hard-to-reach places. The weld formation shape and quality depends on 
the correct function setting, which reduces the likelihood of pores and reduces the 
structure graininess, which in turn increases the welded joint strength.   

To implement this function in the machine, you need to set three parameters: 

puls

ating  power  [Po.P],  pulsation  frequency  [Fr.P]  and  filling  factor  (or  “duty 

cycle”)  [dut].  By  default,  the  pulsating  power  [Po.P]  as  a  key  parameter  is  in  the 
“OFF”  position,  i.e.  the  function  is  turned  off,  and  the  pulsation  frequency  [Fr.P] 
and  “duty  cycle”  [dut]  are  at  the  most  common  values  of  5.0  Hz  and  50%, 

respectively .  To enable the function, it is enough to set the pulsating power [Po.P]
