Advanced Welding Cycle - Lincoln Electric SAF-FRO DIGISTEEL III 320C Safety Instructions For Operation And Maintenance

6.2. ADVANCED WELDING CYCLE

2- Step cycle
Pressing the trigger activates wire feed and pre-gas and turns on the welding current.. Releasing the trigger causes the welding to stop.
The Hot Start cycle is validated by the tHS¹OFF parameter in the general Cycle submenu of the SETUP. It enables starting the welding with
a current peak that facilitates striking.
The down-slope enables weld bead finish with a decreasing level of welding.
4- Step cycle
Pulling the trigger the first time activates the pre-gas, followed by Hot Start. Releasing the trigger starts the welding.
If HOT START is not active, welding will start immediately after pre-gas. In such a case, releasing the trigger (2
welding cycle will continue.
Pressing the trigger in the welding phase (3rd step) enables control of the duration of the down-slope and anti-crater functions, according to the pre-
programmed time delay.
If there is no down-slope, releasing the trigger will immediately switch into post-gas (as programmed in the Setup).
In 4-Step mode (4T), releasing the trigger stops the anti-crater function if slope-down is ENABLED.
If slope-down is DISABLED, releasing the trigger will stop the POST-GAS.
The Hot Start and slope-down functions are not available in manual mode
