To quickly adjust the inductance level, simply press and hold button 4 on the front panel.
Following this action, the relevant parameter will be displayed on the screen, and its value
can be easily changed using the buttons number 2.
By default, the inductance is set to OFF, i.e. set to stage zero. To change the value of any function in current welding
mode, see section 6.1.
5.4 SHIELDING GAS PRE-FLOW FUNCTION
This function is necessary to protect the welding zone from the harmful effects of
atmospheric air and consists of pre-cleaning the welding zone with shielding gas before the
welding arc is ignited. By default, the "pre-flow time" [t.Pr] is set to 0.1 s; this value can be
changed at any time at your discretion.
To change the value of any function in the current welding mode, see Section 6.1
5.5 SHIELDING GAS POST-FLOW FUNCTION
This function consists of a final purging of the welding zone with shielding gas after the
welding arc has been extinct, as the hot weld pool is exposed to the damaging effects of
atmospheric air for some time. By default, the post flow time [t.Po] is set to 1.5 seconds; this
value can be changed at any time at your discretion.
To change the value of any function in the current welding mode, see section 6.1.
5.6 WELDING VOLTAGE RAMP-UP FUNCTION & WIRE FEED SPEED RAMP-UP
The described function facilitates a seamless shift into the welding mode at the predefined
time [t.uP]. This aids in minimizing splatter from the weld pool and during the ignition phase
when the wire hasn't reached its optimal temperature. An elongated soft rise time is critical
for the preliminary creation of the weld pool. The duration of the voltage ramp-up [t.uP]
determines the fluidity of this transition, both in the power source and the unit controlling
the wire feed speed. For optimal results, it's imperative that these timings remain consistent.
ATTENTION!:
A prolonged rise time corresponds to diminished initial weld penetration. This
is why it's recommended solely for extended and medium-length welds. It's crucial not to
extend this time beyond 0.1 sec, especially during tack welding operations.
By default, the voltage ramp-up time is set to OFF, i.e. inactive. To change the value of any function in the current
welding mode, see paragraph 6.1.
ATTENTION!
For steel wire welding, ensure that the voltage rise time [t.uP] at the source is
identical or slightly shorter than the wire speed rise time in the feeder. On the other hand,
when welding with aluminum wire, the source rise time [t.uP] should exceed the feeder's rise
time by a range of +0.2 to +0.5 seconds.
