NOTE
This completes the basic settings and you can now start welding.
Other parameters, such as gas pre-flow time, are already set for the most common applications.
To change these parameters, see the "Advanced settings" chapter.
5.1.2
TIG automatic cut-out
NOTE
The automatic cut-out function will be triggered by two conditions during the welding
process:
During the ignition phase (ignition fault)
• If there is no welding current within 3s after starting the welding.
During the welding phase (arc interruption)
• If the arc is interrupted for longer than 3s.
In both cases, the welding machine ends the ignition or welding process immediately.
