5.3.4 Generating an opposing magnetic field during welding (activgauss)
To activate this procedure, the remote control RT DGS 1 must be connected.

• Connect power cables to the power source (the polarity is freely selectable).

• Turn the rotary knob on the remote control to “0”.
• Activate the procedure activgauss on the remote control (changeover switch to position “ON”).
• Increase the current on the remote control until the field strength in the workpiece decreases towards
“0”.
If the field strength increases in the workpiece:
• Deactivate the procedure activgauss on the remote control (changeover switch to position “OFF”).
• Reverse the polarity (+/-) on the remote control.
• Activate the procedure activgauss on the remote control (changeover switch to position “ON”).
• Increase the current on the remote control until the field strength in the workpiece decreases towards
“0”.
5.3.5 Automatic cut-out
The demagnetization process is stopped within 5 seconds if no current flow can be established.
The display shows the message
(interruption). Check all circuit connections and repeat the
process.
