Gas Pre-Flow
1
Absolute setting range 0.1s to 5s (0.1S increments)
This parameter operates in TIG modes only and is used to provide gas to the weld zone
prior to striking the arc, once the torch trigger switch has been pressed. This control is
used to dramatically reduce weld porosity at the start of a weld.
4.Peak Current
Setting ranges
10AMP to 200AMP (DC TIG and AC HF TIG mode), 10 to 170A (STICK mode)
This parameter sets the TIG WELD current. This parameter also sets the STICK weld
current.
6.Down Slope
Setting ranges 0.1-10s
This parameter operates in TIG modes only and is used to set the time for the weld current
to ramp down, after the torch trigger switch has been pressed to end current. This control
is used to eliminate the crater that can form at the completion of a weld.
5. Remote Control
The system independently identifies the remote control, and when the indicator light is
on, the welding current can be adjusted by remote (foot or welding gun).
8.Post Flow
Setting ranges 1-10S
This parameter operates in TIG modes only and is used to adjust the post gas flow
time once the arc has extinguished. This control is used to dramatically reduce
oxidation of the tungsten electrode.
Wider bead, good penetration
ideal for buildup work
Narrower bead for fillet welds and
automated applications
Wider bead and cleaning acting
Narrower bead and cleaning acting
AC Frequency control
Controls the width of the arc cone. Increasing the AC frequency provides a more focused
arc with increased directional control.

9. AC Frequency
Setting ranges 50HZ-200HZ
This parameter operates in AC TIG mode only and is used to set the frequency for the
AC weld current.

2.Initial Current
The main current Setting range 10AMP to 200AMP
This parameter operates in TIG modes and is used to set the starting current of TIG. The Start
Current remains on until the torch trigger switch is released after it has been depressed. (Can
be set in 2T or 4T mode.)
Note:
The maximum initial current available will be limited to the set value of the base.
3.Up Slope
Setting ranges :0.1S-10S (0.1S increments)
This parameter operates in TIG modes only and is used to set the time for the weld current
to ramp up, after the torch trigger switch has been pressed then released, from Initial Current
to High or base current. (Can be set in 2T or 4T mode.)
7.End current
Setting ranges 10A-200A
This parameter operates in TIG modes only and is used to set the finish current for TIG. The
end Current remains ON until the torch trigger switch is released after it has been depressed.
(Can be set in 2T or 4T mode.)
Note: The maximum crater current available will be limited to the set value of the base
current.
