After assembly: 

-

 

switch on the non-contact arc-ignition device (oscillator); 

-

 

set the device's main power switch 12 on the rear panel to the "ON" position; 

-

 

use button 4 to set the TIG welding mode (functions are switched over and over); 

-

 

set the function of the TIG-2T torch button. To do this, hold down  button 3 until 
"Torch button" [But] appears on the indicator; the current position of this function 
will also be displayed next to it. Use the 2 buttons to set "2T". If you do not perform 
any action for a long time, the device will exit this mode. You can return in the same 
way,  and  if  you  have  missed  the  desired  button  mode,  press  button  3  again:  the 
functions are switched over and over again; 

-

 

using the 2 buttons, the current main parameter, i.e. the  welding current, can be 
set; 

If necessary, additional welding process functions can be set (see Section 6.1 for the switching sequence). 

ATTENTION!

 The TIG torch must be of the push-

button type, with bayonet connector Ø13 

mm.  The  maximum  torch  current  must  be  selected  according  to  the  operational 
requirements. 

4.1.4 BUTTON FUNCTION ON THE TIG-2T TORCH 

This control button function is only used if there is an external, independent non-contact arc 
ignition unit (oscillator), with a built-in gas valve. The burner button cable connects directly 
to the oscillator unit. When the button on the torch is pressed, a control signal is sent to the 
oscillator  unit,  which  activates  the  pre-cleaning  function  of  the  welding  zone  with  gas  t1 
(opens the gas valve) and, with a delay, transmits the signal for the unit to  enter standby 
mode. At the same time, it sends a high-frequency high-voltage pulse to ignite the arc.  The 
power source triggers all other functions (described in the following sections) according to 
the welding process cycle. When the button is released, the source starts its functions and at 
the end automatically switches off. The oscillator unit must perform the final purge function 
of the welding zone with gas t2 (closes the gas valve with a delay).
