FUNCTION
PARAMETERS
PURPOSE
8. Post‑Flow
1‑10 Seconds
(N/A AUTO MODES)
Controls the amount of time in seconds that the argon flows
after the arc has terminated. Provides proper shielding
during cooling to prevent rapid oxidation of the weld which
results in porosity the weld pool.
9. Pulse Peak Amps
10‑200 Amps
(N/A AUTO MODES)
This displays the parameter.
10. Pulse Base Amps
10‑200 Amps
(N/A AUTO MODES)
This displays the parameter.
11. Pulse Time On
(Balance) %
10‑90%
(N/A AUTO MODES)
Defines the duty cycle (balance) of the pulse, by dividing or
skewing the amount of time the pulse stays in the lower or
upper stage of the pulse. The pulse consists of two stages:
Welding amps (upper /Peak) and Pulse amps (lower/
background current). This is represented by a % of total
time the pulse spends in the pulse amp stage of the cycle
during one full pulse. The feature can be used to increase or
decrease pulse amp time relative to the welding amp time of
the cycle to help manage heat input.
12. Pulse Frequency
Hertz (Pulses per
second )
1‑500Hz
(N/A AUTO MODES)
Represented by Hertz (Hz), the pulse frequency defines
the actual number of times each second the pulse makes
one complete cycle between welding amps (peak/high
amp value) and pulse amps (background/low amp value).
This is also commonly referred to as Pulses Per Second
(PPS). Low pulse frequencies are ideal for timing the
point where filler metal is added. This helps improve
appearance and uniformity. Higher pulse frequencies are
useful for welding seams and edges of thin material. Also
it is useful for overall heat input control for thicker metals.
Higher pulse frequencies are highly useful for automated
welding processes. WARNING: WELDING AT HIGH PULSE
FREQUENCIES INCREASES THE DECIBEL /NOISE LEVEL OF
THE ARC. HEARING PROTECTION IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
