Hidden MMA functions

There are hidden functions in the control panel.
To access the functions, press
a value. Select function by pressing the right arrow. The knob is used to change the
value of the selected function.

Function
C = Arc Force
d = drop welding
F = regulator type ArcPlust
H = Hotstart
I = min current
Arc Force
The arc force is important in determining how the current changes in response to a
change in the arc length. A lower value gives a calmer arc with less spatter.
Drop welding
Drop welding can be used when welding with stainless electrodes. The function
involves alternately striking and extinguishing the arc in order to achieve better
control of the supply of heat. The electrode needs only to be raised slightly to
extinguish the arc.
Welding regulator
Welding regulator is a type of control that produces a more intense, more
concentrated and calmer arc. It recovers more quickly after a spot short--circuit,
which reduces the risk of the electrode becoming stuck.
Arc Plust (0) recommended for basic type of electrodes
S
Arc Plust II (1) recommended for rutile and cellulosa typ of electrodes
S
Hot Start
Hot start increases the weld current for an adjustable time at the start of welding,
thus reducing the risk of poor fusion at the beginning of the joint.
