MMA pulse welding in the vertical up position (PF)
Welding characteristics:
• Especially suitable for root welding
• Fine-flaked weld surface with a TIG look for final passes
• Less finishing work thanks to less spatter
• Highly suitable for difficult electrodes
• Outstanding gap bridging with no sagging of the root side
• Less distortion thanks to controlled heat input

Setting range: 0.1 Hz to 500 Hz (increments of 0.1 Hz/1 Hz, 1.2 Hz ex
works)
AMP = main current
AMP% = pulse current
AMP% = pulse pause current
= frequency
= duty cycle

The default pulse parameters are pre-set in such a way that the welding current average value
corresponds to the pre-selected main current AMP.
Changes in the pulse parameters result in changes to welding current average value AMP.
