V & A Display:
The right meter displays the preset welding current (A)
before welding and the actual welding current during
welding, and the left meter shown the voltage (V) at the
output leads.
A flashing dot on the Display indicates that the value
read is the average value of the previous welding time.
This feature shown the average value for 5seconds after
every welding time.
If a remote control is connected (the Remote LED is
ON), the left meter (A) indicates the preset and the
actual welding current following the instruction explained
in the “Remote LED” description above.
The left (V) Display can also shown the following set of
characters:

The right (A) Display can also shown the following set of

Operating Instruction
Stick (SMAW) Welding
To select Stick welding:
Action
Visualization
Press MODE several times until the LED above lights up
When the Stick position is selected, the following
welding features are enabled:
Hot Start: This is a temporary increase in the output
current during the start of the stick welding process.
This helps ignite the arc quickly and reliably.
Anti-Sticking: This is a function which decreases the
output current of the machine to a low level when the
operator makes an error and sticks the electrode to
the work piece. This decrease in current allows the
operator to remove the electrode from the electrode
holder without creating large sparks which can
damage the electrode holder.
Auto Adaptive Arc Force: this function increases
temporary the output current, used to clear
intermittent connections between the electrode and
the weld puddle that occur during stick welding.
This is an active control feature that guarantees the best
arrangement between the arc stability and spatter
presence. The feature "Auto Adaptive Arc Force" has
instead of a fixed or manual regulation, an automatic and
multilevel setting: its intensity depends by the output
voltage and it is calculated in real time by the
microprocessor where are also mapped the Arc Force
levels. The control measure in each instant the output
voltage and it determines the amount of the peak of
current to apply; that value is enough to breaks the metal
drop that is being transferred from the electrode to the
workpiece as to guarantee the arc stability, but not too
high to avoid spatters around the welding puddle. That
means:
Electrode / workpiece sticking prevention, also with
low current values.
Spatters
reduction.
The welding operations are simplified and the welded
joins looks better, also if not brushed after the welding.
In Stick mode, two different setup are available:
SOFT Stick: For a welding with a low spatter
presence.
CRISP Stick (Factory Default): For an aggressive
welding, with an increased Arc stability.
