5 OPERATION

Material selection

Since different materials have different heat dispersion, it is necessary to select the right

material group (C) so that a correct plate thickness value can be calculated. Settings for

cored wire is done only in manual mode.

Plate thickness setting

Set the plate thickness of the object you want to weld using the plate thickness setting knob

(B). This knob sets the wire feed speed (E). A suitable voltage setting is automatically

calculated by QSet. The recommended plate thickness for the set wire feed speed is

displayed simultaneously (I). The plate thickness recommendation is calculated for a fillet

weld using the following wire dimensions: Fe/Ss and CuSi - Ø0.8 mm, Al - Ø1.0 mm. If you

use a smaller diameter wire you should set a slightly higher value for plate thickness than

what you are going to weld. If you use a larger diameter wire set a slightly lower value.

Heat input adjustment

The heat input can be adjusted with the QSet knob (A) in steps from -9 to +9 to make the

weld hotter or colder. A higher value gives a hotter, more concave, weld (longer arc length)

for more penetration. A lower value gives a colder, more convex, weld (shorter arc length) to

prevent burning through the workpiece. Typically the QSet value should be set to 0 which

gives you an average heat input that is suitable in most cases. The heat input setting is

symbolised with a thermometer indicating hotter or colder settings.
