Welding type
Different forms of MIG/MAG processes are collectively referred to as welding types.
Standard (welding with standard arc)
Depending on the set combination of wire feed speed and arc voltage, short arc, transitional arc or spray
arc can be used as arc types for welding.
Pulse (welding with pulsed arc)
A selective change in the welding current generates current pulses in the arc, which lead to a 1 drop per
pulse of material transfer. The result is an almost spatter-free process, suitable for welding all materials,
in particular high-alloy CrNi steels or aluminium.

Selecting the welding parameter display mode
The operating point (welding power) can be displayed or set as the welding current, material thickness or
wire speed.

Arc length
If required, the arc length (welding voltage) can be corrected from -5 V to +5 V for the individual welding
task.

The basic settings are now completed. Other welding parameters have already been set optimally in the
factory; they can, however, be modified to suit individual requirements.
