Operation
3.Up Slope
Setting ranges :0.1S-10S (0.1S increments)
This parameter operates in (2T and 4T) TIG modes only and is used to set the time for the
weld current to ramp up, after the torch trigger switch has been pressed then released,
from Initial Current to High or base current.
4.Peak Current
Setting ranges
T231:5AMP to 200AMP (DC TIG),5-200A( Stick mode)
T331:10AMP to 300AMP ( DC TIG), 30- 250A(Stick mode)
This parameter sets the TIG WELD current. This parameter also sets the STICK weld
current.
5.Base Current
Setting ranges
T231:5AMP to 200AMP (DC TIG mode), 5AMP to 200AMP (STICK mode)
T331:10AMP to 300AMP (DC TIG mode), 10AMP to 300AMP (STICK mode)
Secondary current (TIG)/pulse pause current.
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.
9.End Current
T231:Setting ranges 5A-200A
T331:Setting ranges 10A-100A
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.
10. Post Flow
T231: Setting ranges 1-10S
T331: 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.

2.3 Setup For STICK (MMA) Welding
For Alkaline Electrode, connect the electrode holder to the positive welding termimal

Electrode, please connect the electrode holder to the negative welding termimal and
connect the work lead to the positve welding terminal.If in doubt consult the electrode
manufacturer. Welding current flows from the Power Source via heavy duty bayonet type
terminals. It is essential, however, that the male plug is inserted and turned securely to
achieve a sound electrical connection. Select STICK mode with the process selection
control.
