ADVANCED OPERATION - Special functions: Global parameters
ALTITUDE parameter
When working at altitudes
significantly higher, or lower,
than sea level, it is important
to adjust the electrode cur-
rents to compensate for the
decreased, or increased, air
density. If you fill in the
ALTITUDE parameter with
your working altitude in
kilometers, the FSU 995 FA
will automatically recalibrate
the prefusion current and the
three fusion currents to your
actual work conditions. The
adjacent graph shows such
an adjustment for original
currents of 10, 12, 14 and 16
mA.

Adjusted currents to compensate for altitude
If you are using the ALTITUDE parameter, you can view the
adjusted currents by pressing ESC before splicing.
In this example, the ALTITUDE is set for 1 km above sea
level, the adjusted prefusion current is 11.2 mA, and the
adjusted fusion current 1 is 11.7 mA.
To switch from one current to the next, you successively
press ESC. So to get from the information for FUSION CUR-
RENT 1 to FUSION CURRENT 2, press ESC, and from FU-
SION CURRENT 2 to 3, you press ESC again.
When you are done viewing the adjusted currents, you can
press FUSE and continue with the splicing sequence.

The information will be displayed in the
mode field
accord-
ing to the following abbreviations:
CU0 = PREFUSE CURRENT
P = Current without compensation
CU1 = FUSION CURRENT 1
F = Current with compensation
CU2 = FUSION CURRENT 2
CU3 = FUSION CURRENT 3
And in the
message field
you will see the current setting for
the ALTITUDE parameter.
