TIG TORCH TRIGGER FUNCTION
Before starting any welding activity ensure that you have suitable eye protection and
protective clothing. Also take the necessary steps to protect any persons within the welding
area.
TIG Torch Trigger Operation (continued)
4T Glick mode, also called 'cycle' mode), is a function that is available and active in 4T mode only.
Glick Mode, is available in the following modes:
•
4T TIG Standard, Pulse and MIX welding Modes
•
4T MIG Synergic, Pulse and Double Pulse welding Modes
When the power source is in Glick (repeating) mode, upon pressing the TIG torch trigger switch the gas
valve opens and after the pre flow time ends, HF discharge will engage the welding arc.
Once the welding arc is ignited successfully, the initial current is present then after the operator releases
the torch switch the welding current rises up to the preset welding current value gradually (depending
on preset upslope time). When the torch switch is pressed down again, the current begins to drop
gradually to the final current arc value.
When the torch switch is released again, the current will rise gradually up to the welding current value
again.
'Glick mode' means the welding current varies between the final arc current value and the welding
current value.
To extinguish the welding arc, press and release the torch trigger briefly (within 1/5 of a second) and
the arc will be extinguished immediately and the current output will be shut off.
The gas valve will then close when the post flow time ends and the welding process ends.
In Glick mode, if slope up or slope down is active, then the current will slope either up or down
(depending on slope settings) when you switch between amperage settings.
