If a Coolarc unit listed above is connected to the
Machine, it will be automatically turned ON and OFF in
order to ensure the torch cooling. When Stick welding
mode is used the cooler will be OFF.
This machine does not include a cooled TIG torch, but
one may be purchased separately. Refer to the
accessories section for more information.
WARNING
The Machine is provided with an electrical connection for
the Coolarc unit on its rear side. This socket is ONLY for
the connection of the Coolarc unit listed above.

When the Machine is
turned ON the fan is
turned ON only for the
startup time (few
seconds). The fan will
start with welding
operations and will continue to run whenever the
Machine is welding. If the Machine doesn’t weld for
more than 10minutes, it will go in Green Mode.
Green Mode
The Green Mode is a feature that puts the machine
in a stand-by condition:
The output is disabled
The fans are speed down
Only the Power ON LED remains ON.

This reduces the amount of dirt that can be drawn
inside the Machine and the power consumption.
To restore the Machine restart to weld or push the
TIG trigger or push any buttons in the front panel or
turn the encoder knob.
NOTE: If a COOLARC TIG torch cooling unit is
connected to the machine, it will be turned ON/OFF
by the Green Mode feature based also on COOL
option. See Menu SYS section for more details.
Idle Mode
After 30 minutes without welding the machine will
enter a deep low power mode. It will shut down all
