Crater "ON" (with initial condition)
Select "CRATER-FILL ON" by the CRATER-FILL menu and select "INITIAL CONDITION ON" by the INITIAL
CONDITION menu.
•
Carry out twice the ON/OFF operation of the torch switch and carry out the welding operation. The operation from
the first ON to OFF enables the welding by the initial current, and the second ON operation enables the welding by
the crater current.
•
Even if the torch switch is switched off during welding, the signal will be self-hold. (The torch switch should remain
depressed and held during the INITIAL and CRATER phrases.)
•
When selecting "CRATER-FILL ON (no pulse)"
Regardless of the setting by the WELDING METHOD menu, the machine automatically turns to the welding with no
pulse when the crater-fill process starts.
•
When selecting "CRATER-FILL ON (with pulse)"
When "DC PULSE" or "DC WAVE PULSE" is selected by the WELDING METHOD menu, the machine automatically
turns to the pulse welding mode when the crater-fill process starts.
•
Welding method in the initial condition is the same with the main welding.
