"Reset" function
o
All TIG parameters can be set back to the
Castolin original factory settings.
o
This is achieved by simultaneously depressing
and holding down for about 3 seconds the two
selectors
switched on.

Once setting back is completed, the digital
display
indicates "80 A".

Factory settings are:
- Gas pre-flow:
- Current upslope:
- Frequency:
- Welding current:
- Downslope:
- Crater filler current:
