5.5.3
Pulse mode (for Phoenix / alpha Q only)
This signal switches between standard and pulse welding in MIG/MAG processes.
X5/5
Operating mode
Signal active
Pulse welding activated.
Signal not active
Standard welding activated.
5.5.4
superPuls (only Phoenix / alpha Q)
This signal switches on the superPuls mode.
X4/5
Operating mode
Signal active

enabled.
Signal not active
superPuls disabled.

Use of this signal has to be enabled with the EWM Config Tool first.
5.5.5
Lift arc (only Phoenix / alpha Q MM)
This signal switches ignition to lift arc mode.
X5/5
Operating mode
Signal active

Signal not active
Lift arc disabled.
1)
Use of this signal has to be enabled with the EWM Config Tool first.
The lift arc start mode has to be selected in the Expert constants of the JOB.
5.5.6
Pulse modes (for Tetrix / forceTig only)
These signals allow the different pulse modes to be actuated in different processes. The process (DC or
AC) determines the pre-selection of the possible actuations. An actuation that is not applicable is
automatically overridden.

5.5.7
Reset error
This allows an existing system error to be reset. The signal must be flanked in accordance with the
actuation logic selected. A continuous signal does not cause any error suppression or automatic reset.
X4/8
Operating mode
Signal not
active
No reset of an error

to active
An existing system error is reset.
In Phoenix / alpha Q and Tetrix / forceTig a distinction is drawn between error messages that can be
reset and those that cannot be reset.
