When pressing the trigger, the pre-gas starts and when the wire comes into contact with the part a pulse starts the arc. Then, the machine starts
with the Hot-start, the upslope and the welding cycle starts. When releasing the trigger, the downslope starts until to reach the crater filler. At this
moment, the wire is cut followed by the post-gas. As in « standard mode », it is possible to quickly restart the welding during the post-gas without
going through the Hotstart phase.
4T Pulsed process:
T hotstart
Dstart
4T
OFF
Soft-start
In 4T pulsed mode, the trigger manages the pre-gas if there is no Hot-Start. Otherwise, it manages the Hotstart duration if it is validated. When
stopping, it allows to manage the crater filler if it is validated or the post-gas if there is no crater filler.
