(7)
Pulse Time t2 Rotary Knob
for setting the pulse time t2, while welding current I2 is active during TIG pulses. (Range:
20ms - 1.3sec.)
(8)
Soft Start (Upslope) Rotary Knob
for setting the soft-start time, in which the welding current is increased to the set value.
(Range: 5ms - 2sec.). In 2-stroke mode, the welding current starts in the minimum, in 4-
cycle mode with the starting current (20% of the welding current I1)
(9)
Welding Current I1 Rotary Knob
for adjusting the welding current I1:
- Setting range TIG: 4A - 500A
- Setting range MMA: 15A - 400A
(10)
Welding Current I1 Rotary Knob
for adjusting the welding current I2 (range: 0% - 100%). In 2-stroke operation, the
welding current starts in the minimum, in 4-stroke operation with the starting current
(20% of the welding current I1). The maximum adjustable welding current I2 always
corresponds to the set value of I1. This welding current is used as a base current during
pulsing.
(11)
Soft Down (Downslope) Rotary Knob
for setting the soft-down time (range: 5ms - 10sec.) at which the welding current is
reduced from the set value to min.
(12)
Gas Post-Flow Time Rotary Knob
for adjusting the gas post-flow time during TIG welding (range: 5sec - 35sec.). If started
but not welded, the gas post-flow time does not expire.
(13)
Operating Mode Rotary Knob
for setting the operating mode, see 7.2 Operating modes:
- MMA
- TIG 4-Stroke
- TIG 2-Stroke
- TIG Liftarc 4-Stroke
- TIG Liftarc 2-Stroke
- TIG Pulse 4-Stroke
- TIG Pulse 2-Stroke
(14)
Frequency Rotary Knob (AC only)
for adjusting the frequency of the AC arc (range: 40Hz - 200Hz)
(15)
Balance Rotary Knob (AC only)
for adjusting the balance of the AC arc (range: 80:20 - 20:80). As a result, either a deep
penetration or a high cleaning effect can be set.
(16)
Welding Current Type / S-Test Rotary Knob (AC only)
for setting the welding current type, see 7.3 Welding current types (TIG 500AC only):
- DC welding with pulse start
- DC welding
- AC welding sinus (soft)
- AC welding rectangle (hard)
- S-Test
(17)
S-Test indicator (AC only)
lights up when the Current Type / S-Test Rotary Knob is set to S-Test mode and the
inverter is operating correctly, see 7.1.1 S-Test (AC only)
