5.6.1
Arcforce correction (welding characteristics)
Example:
You are using a rutile/basic electrode type and set "Rutilbas" accordingly on the machine control. When
welding the electrode type, you specify a hard or aggressive arc. You should now change the arcforce
setting in the direction of "less arcforce
– softer arc" until the required result is achieved.
Display
Setting/selection
Arcforce correction (setting -8 to 10, factory setting 0)
• Increase value > harder arc
• Decrease value > softer arc
5.6.2
Arc length restriction (USP)
The arc length restriction
function stops the welding process when an excessive arc voltage is
detected (unusually high gap between electrode and workpiece). The setting is saved separately for each
welding process.
The arc length restriction cannot be used for cel characteristics (if available).

5.6.3
Activating the welding current actual value display
The welding current can be displayed as a setpoint value or an actual value on the welding data display.
The factory setting is that the welding current is displayed as a setpoint value (parameter "rcd" = off).
After switching over to the actual value display (parameter "rcd" = on), the following is displayed:
• The setpoint value is displayed in open circuit mode (when no welding current is flowing)
• If welding current is flowing, the welding data display switches over to the actual value
• After welding, the setpoint value is displayed once more
