Description

Voltage (U) in Volt (V), Current (I) in Ampere (A)

Voltage   and   current   can   be   adjusted   in   steps   of   0.1V   and   0.1A. 
"U6.0" means 6.0V; "I2.5" is 2.5A.

H

H

0, 1,

or 2

In hot-start the Taifun increases the output power to 150%, in order 
to heat up the coil more quickly. Default setting: "0".

Hot-start 0 ("H 0")

The hot-start is turned off. No increased output power

Hot-start 1 ("H 1")

Hot-start level 1: Increased output power for 0.5sec.

Hot-start 2 ("H 2")

Hot-start level 8: Increased output power for 0.8sec.

Note:  

The Overdrive is only possible within the absolute operation 

limits! With a setting of, for example, (close to) 8.0V as the set point, 
the hot-start does not affect the operation!

With this menu item you can decide which control mode you want to 
use. When you change the function, the current set value is automat-
ically converted.

The Taifun supports power ("F P"), voltage ("F U") and current ("F I"). 
Default setting: "F U".

2.8V –

3.5V

The cut-off threshold is the voltage at which the Taifun turns itself off 
to 

protect the battery

. Select a higher value, so the battery will last 

longer. With a lower value, the operating time is extended until the 
next battery change. Factory setting: 3.2V.  

Note battery manufac-

turers cut-off voltage!

long, red flashing

  will occur before device shuts off. The device 

then remains switched off until the battery is changed.

A

larm threshold

2.9V –

3.6V

When the battery voltage falls below this value, the Taifun "warns" 
you   that   a  

battery   change   is   pending   soon

.   It   signals   this   by 

switching the  

button  illumination

  to  

red

  during operation. Default 

setting: 3.5V.

Use this menu item to control whether and how the button is illumin-
ated when pressed. Factory setting: "2".

Button illumination 0 ("L 0")

The button is not illuminated during operation, unless the Taifun is 
operated at its upper limits (see also section "Messages").

Button illumination 1 ("L 1")

The button is only illuminated in red when the battery voltage falls 
below the alarm threshold.

Button illumination 2 ("L 2")

The button is always illuminated. Green during normal operation, red 
for below the alarm threshold.
