5.2.10.2 Tapping function (tap torch trigger)
Tapping function: Swiftly tap the torch trigger to change the function. The set torch mode determines the
operating mode.
The tapping function can be selected separately for each torch mode for the start of welding with parame-
ter
and for the end of welding with parameter
. If parameter
is activated, there is no need to
tap the secondary current.
5.2.10.3 Up/down speed
Functionality
Press and hold the up push-button:
Increase current up to the maximum value (main current) set in the power source.
Press and hold the down push-button:
Decrease current to the minimum value.
Use the machine configuration menu
> see 5.11 chapter
to set the up/down speed parameter
which
determines the speed with which a current change becomes effective.
5.2.10.4 Current jump
By tapping the corresponding torch trigger the welding current can be determined in an adjustable jump
range. Each tap will cause the welding current to jump up or down by the defined value.
The “current jump” parameter
is set in the machine configuration menu
> see 5.11 chapter
.
