PATON StandardTIG DC MMA/TIG/MIG/MAG
This is a very important condition for accurate user assessment of the quality of change with
equal heat input into the weld pool.
If the task is to reduce the heat input to the seam by using a pulse mode, e.g., when
welding thin metals, then it is enough to reduce the main source voltage in a standard way,
while the amplitude of pulses and pauses set earlier will automatically adjust to this voltage.
Therefore, the user will clearly understand how much the current heat input to the seam has
decreased compared to the previous mode, while simultaneously changing, in any
combination, the power and "duty cycle" of the pulses to obtain the desired process. This
task is not easy, since several parameters are regulated at once.
These parameters are set in different situations in different ways, according to the
welder’s requirements.
See paragraph 6.1 to change the value of any function in the current welding mode.
6. CONFIGURING THE UNIT
When the buttons on the front panel are not touched, the unit always displays the value of
the main parameter of the used welding mode on the digital indicator:
1) in the MMA mode – welding current;
2) in the TIG mode – welding current;
3) in the MIG/MAG mode – welding voltage.
Buttons 2 on the front panel are responsible for changing the value of the selected function
or main parameter.
Button
3 on the front panel of the unit is multifunctional and is responsible for the
following:
3) circular selection of any function in the current welding mode (quick press);
4) reset all functions to the factory settings of the current welding mode (hold for
more than 12 seconds).
Button 4 on the front panel is responsible for changing the welding mode; switching in a
circle.
6.1 SWITCHING TO THE REQUIRED FUNCTION
If the unit has a system of protection against unauthorized access to the function menu,
then if you press button 3 , no changes are made on the indicator, i.e., this button is locked.
To unlock it, hold it down for more than 3.5 seconds. When unlocking, the indicator displays
an image of opening locks, indicating the process of unlocking the function menu. After
successful unlocking, by pressing button
3 , the current name of the function and its value are
displayed on the digital display.
Caution! After releasing button 3 after 2 seconds, the screen will return to the main
parameter of the current welding mode. While the display is showing the current function,
its value can be changed up or down using buttons
2 . Alternatively, by quickly pressing and
releasing button 3 , you can switch to the next function, in a circle.
