manual and automatic operating modes

The HiArc power source has two operating modes: Automatic mode and Manual mode. To
change between operating modes, press control panel button 3.
• In Manual mode you set the welding current and wire feed parameters manually using
the control knobs on the wire feeder panel.
• In Automatic mode you can use the ready-made HiArc welding programs (pre-set
curves) to easily select the optimal welding parameters. Just set the welding wire and
shielding gas type you are using, and let the HiArc calculate the optimal settings for the
welding parameters. You can then adjust the welding power and fine tune the welding
voltage at the wire feeder panel. In Automatic mode you can use the pre-set Automatic
values also when making the Tail Arc settings.
There are welding programs available only for Fe wires.
