LiftArct The LiftArct function strikes the arc when the electrode is brought into contact with the workpiece and then lifted away from it. Striking the arc with the LiftArc function . Step 1: the electrode is touched on to the workpiece. Step 2: the trigger switch is pressed, and a low current starts to flow.

4- -stroke With 4 stroke, the gas pre--flow starts when the welding gun trigger switch is pressed in and the arc is struck when it is released. The welding process continues until the switch is pressed in again, the arc is extinguished when the switch is released the gas post flow starts (if selected).
Remote control unit Settings are made from the remote control unit. The remote control unit must be connected to the remote control unit socket on the machine before activation. When the remote control unit is activated the panel is inactive. Hidden TIG functions There are hidden functions in the control panel.
MMA WELDING Settings Function Setting range TA33 TA34 Current 16 -- max. A Hotstart 0 -- 99 Arc force 0 -- 99 Drop welding 0=OFF or 1=ON Weld regulator ArcPlust 1=OFF or 0=ON Active panel OFF or ON Remote control unit OFF or ON These functions are hiddenfunctions, see description point 3.3.
Hidden MMA functions There are hidden functions in the control panel. To access the functions, press for 5 seconds. The display shows a letter and a value. Select function by pressing the right arrow. The knob is used to change the value of the selected function.
WELDING DATA MEMORY Two different welding data settings can be stored in the control panel memory. Press button for 5 seconds to store the welding data in the memory. The welding data is stored when the green indicator lamp starts to flash. To switch between the different welding data memories press button The welding data memory has a back--up battery so that the settings remain even if the machine has been switched off.
The welding data unit has lost contact with the cooling unit. The welding process stops. Action: Check the wiring. If the fault persists, send for a service technician.
