Operation
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.
AC Frequency control
Controls the width of the arc cone. Increasing the AC frequency provides a more focused
arc with increased directional control.

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.
