3.2 

Electrode welding 

The unit is suitable for welding all commercially available electrodes, whereby the maximum 

current corresponds to the maximum output current of the unit. This current can be used to weld 

standard electrodes up to 3.25 mm in diameter.

The polarity and current setting for the individual electrodes can be taken from the manufacturer's 

specifications of the electrodes. The electrode holder is plugged into the welding current socket 

that has the polarity specified for the electrode (see sections 3.3 and 3.4).  

All you need to do is select the correct welding current and polarity for the welding task at hand 

and the electrode selected for the task. Booster2 does the rest for you. The following functions 

automatically ensure good welding work:

3.2.1 

Hot start

BOOSTER2 delivers a higher current than the set welding current for approx. ½ second when 

starting to weld. The increase is limited by the maximum output current. This ensures good 

ignition characteristics and a fast stable arc.

3.2.2 

Arc force

BOOSTER2 monitors the welding current and welding voltage during welding. If BOOSTER2 

detects that a droplet transition occurs in short circuit, it supplies a higher current than the set 

welding current for a short time to quickly release the short circuit. This prevents the BOOSTER2 

from dropping out or the electrode sticking during welding.

3.2.3 

Anti stick function

If a permanent short-circuit is present during electrode welding, then after 1.0 s the anti-stick 

function initiates which limits the output voltage and in turn the current to 5 volts. This prevents the 

electrode from burning-out and the permanent short circuit can be easily released by lifting the 

electrode.

The control panel is divided into the following zones:

  

Control lamps for operation and excess temperature

 

Rotary knob for preselecting the welding current

  

Label for identifying the BOOSTER2 version B130 / B140 / B150 

The symbols on the control panel have the following meanings:

LED lamps

Indicator function

Lights up

Open-circuit voltage at the torch 

or electrode holder.

Flashes quickly

The unit is in fault mode

Switch the unit off and back on again

Flashes once per second

The unit is in test mode

Switch the unit off and back on again

Temperature indicator.

The LED (yellow) lights up when the maximum permissible unit temperature is 

exceeded.  The output current is switched off for as long as this LED is lit. Once 

the unit has cooled the LED goes out and welding can commence automatically. 

Use CAUTION with the electrode!
