To enable this function, an open-circuit voltage reduction unit [BSn] is required. This unit is envisaged in this equipment model, but is set to "OFF" position by default, i.e. disabled, since it is known, that enabling of any function of this kind - 12 - PATON ProMIG series DC MMA/TIG/MIG/MAG...
These parameters are set differently in different situations in accordance with welding operator's requirements. See paragraph 6.1 for sequence of changing the value of any function in the current welding mode - 13 - PATON ProMIG series DC MMA/TIG/MIG/MAG...
- install pressure reducer on the gas bottle; - connect gas hose of the torch to pressure reducer of the gas bottle; - open the cock of the gas bottle and check it for tightness; - 14 - PATON ProMIG series DC MMA/TIG/MIG/MAG...
The higher is base operating current, the faster the electrode shall be lifted, otherwise it will flash off. Time of current fade-in [t.uP] up to the set value will be reviewed in the next paragraph. - 15 - PATON ProMIG series DC MMA/TIG/MIG/MAG...
The indicator will start flashing, thus informing the user that the machine is ready for switching to the next welding mode. If you skipped the required welding mode, press button 5 again – the modes switch over end-around; - 16 - PATON ProMIG series DC MMA/TIG/MIG/MAG...
When the torch button is pressed, the control signal is sent to the high-frequency injection unit, which performs the function of weld zone pre-purging with gas (opens the gas valve) and sends the switch-on signal to the PROMIG-200Р/250Р source with a time delay; at the same time, a high-frequency high-voltage pulse is issued for arc striking.
- use buttons 3 to set the main parameter, which is arc current; - if necessary, additional functions of welding process can be adjusted – see changeover sequence in paragraph 6.1. - 18 - PATON ProMIG series DC MMA/TIG/MIG/MAG...
It eliminates initial splashing of weld pool. In addition, if TIG-2T button mode is used, one can guide the torch exactly to the required welding place during the set time of current - 19 - PATON ProMIG series DC MMA/TIG/MIG/MAG...
Result: current will pulse in the range from 70 A to 130 A with frequency of 5 Hz, pulses will be of the same shape in terms of both magnitude and time. If duty ratio - 20 - PATON ProMIG series DC MMA/TIG/MIG/MAG...
