Welding current limit for up/down torch.
When the welding current limit is switched
to “On”, the welding current on the up/down
torch cannot be set higher than pre-select-
ed on the control terminal.

Deactivation of the error message E05-00
(water pump) and of the water cooling unit
by LorchNet.
If the deactivation is switched “on”, the
error message E05-00 (water pump) is no
longer displayed.
Also the water cooling unit is not switched
on by LorchNet.
Practical, e.g. for the use of an automatic
torch without plug or a cooling unit without
LorchNet.

Adjustment of the torch-ID
Every torch of the i-LTG/i-LTW-series has an own torch-
ID. This ID is related to the stress limits of the torch. If
the torch protection is activated (sub-parameter “tPr” =
on) in the TIG-mode, only a welding current according to
the maximum torch limit can be adjusted at the welding
machine.
The adjustment of the torch –ID is necessary for e.g.
if the torch pc-board was changed.
Â
Select in the user specific menu code-no. C00
Â
Adjust the required torch-ID at the turning knob 34,
according to the torch-ID-chart.
