Interrupting the welding process
Switching off entire system
X
Switch off machine at the main switch.
– or –
X
Press EMERGENCY-STOP button on connected remote control.
The entire machine is disconnected from the mains network immediately and completely (both poles). No other functions
are carried out here: The gas flow is interrupted immediately. The current weld becomes unusable.
Stopping a running process
X
Press softkey 1 ("Stop").
– or –
X
Press STOP button on connected remote control.
– or –
X
Press red START/STOP button on weld head.
The weld current is switched off immediately. The machine remains in operation, the gas post purge time runs and the
water cooling of the weld head is carried out until the end of the gas post purge time.
A slight crater can arise in the seam on the workpiece, and this can be compensated for by over-welding it.
Premature slope-off of a running process
X
Press softkey 2 ("Final slope").
– or –
X
Press the "Final" button on the weld head.
– or –
X
Press slope-off symbol on connected remote control.
The machine slopes off the weld current as per the procedure. The weld head continues running during the slope-off phase.
After slope-off, the weld current is switched off, the gas post purge and pump continue running until the end of the
programmed time.

Adjusting the procedure
8.3.1
Reasons and steps for adjusting procedure
The auto programming of the machine cannot take all influencing factors into account during welding.
Procedures can be adjusted after the test run for this reason. Possible reasons:
• Batch-dependent fluctuations in the material composition
• Different dissipation (pipe on solid parts) etc.
X
Improve procedure step by step. When adjusting, change only one parameter at a time so that you can better judge
the influence on welding.
X
Save adjusted procedure.
X
After the adjustment, carry out a test run of the parameters.
X
Observe effects of the adjustment and carry out further adjustments if necessary.
