AC Balance Control
Controls arc cleaning action. Adjusting the % EN of the AC wave controls the width of the
etching zone surrounding the weld.
Note:
Set the AC Balance control for adequate arc cleaning action at the sides and in
front of the weld puddle. AC Balance should be fine tuned according to how heavy or
thick the oxides are.
Wider bead, good penetration
ideal for buildup work
Narrower Bead, Good Penetration
Ideal For Buildup Work
Wider bead and cleaning action

AC Frequency control
Controls the width of the arc cone. Increasing the AC frequency provides a more focused
arc with increased directional control.
Note: Decreasing the AC Frequency softens the arc and broadens the weld puddle
for a wider weld bead.

12.Wave Balance
Setting arranges 10%-50%
11. AC Frequency
Setting ranges 50HZ-200HZ
This parameter operates in AC TIG mode only and is used to set the frequency for the
AC weld current.

24
6.Pulse Width
Setting ranges 10%-90%
This parameter sets the percentage on time of the PULSE FREQUENCY for High weld
current when the PULSE is ON.
7.Pulse Frequency
Setting ranges 1HZ -200HZ
This parameter sets the PULSE FREQUENCY when the PULSE is ON.
8.Down Slope
Setting ranges 0.1-10s
This parameter operates in TIG modes only and is used to set the time for the weld current
to ramp down, after the torch trigger switch has been pressed to end current. This control
is used to eliminate the crater that can form at the completion of a weld.
10. Post Flow
V241: Setting ranges 1-20S
V341: Setting ranges 1-20S
This parameter operates in TIG modes only and is used to adjust the post gas flow
time once the arc has extinguished. This control is used to dramatically reduce
oxidation of the tungsten electrode.
This parameter operates in AC TIG mode and is used to set the penetration to cleaning
action ratio for the AC weld current. Generally WAVE BALANCE is set to 50% for AC
STICK welding. The WAVE BALANCE control changes the ratio of penetration to
the WAVE BALANCE control is set to 10%. Maximum cleaning of heavily oxidised
aluminium or magnesium alloys is achieved when the WAVE BALANCE control is set to
50%
9.End current
V241:Setting ranges 10A-200A
This parameter operates in (4T) TIG modes only and is used to set the finish current for TIG.
The end current remains ON until the torch trigger switch is released after it has been
depressed.
Note: The maximum crater current available will be limited to the set value of the base
current.
V341:Setting ranges 10A-300A
cleaning action of the AC TIG welding arc. Maximum weld penetration is achieved when
