User manual
SPOT PULSE welding
This welding mode on thin sheet metal allows the pre-assembly of parts before welding. Scoring can be manual by trigger or delayed with a predefined
scoring delay. This spot timer allows for a better reproducibility and the realisation of non-oxidized spots (accessible with the «F(Hz)» button).

SAVE AND LOAD WELDING SETTINGS
The current settings are automatically saved and loaded at start up. In addition to the current settings, it is possible to save and recall so-called «JOB»
configurations. The « JOB « button is used to save, recall or delete a configuration. 50 Jobs can be stored per welding process.
Job creation
- Adjust all desired welding parameters,
- Press and hold the «JOB» button for more than 3 seconds,
- « IN » appears on the display,
- Select a job number using the incremental encoder. Only numbers that are not already associated with a previously saved job can be selected and
are indicated on the display,
- Once the job number is chosen, press the «JOB» button to validate and save it under the selected number,
- The job number is then displayed, indicating that the job has been saved. The number display continues to flash until another button or the torch
trigger is activated.
Note: If all numbers are already assigned to saved jobs, the HMI displays «Full».
Job recall
Apart from not being in the process of welding, the job recall does not require any particular initial condition:
- Press the «JOB» button briefly (not exceeding 2 seconds),
- « OUT » appears on the HMI display,
- With the incremental encoder, select a job number. Only the numbers associated with existing jobs appear on the display If no job is stored, the HMI
displays «- - - -».
- Once the job number is selected, press the «JOB» button to confirm the configuration. The job number then flickers on the display, indicating that
the job was loaded. The number continues to flicker until another parameter is changed or until the torch trigger is pressed to start the welding cycle.
Job deletion
- Press the «JOB» button briefly (not exceeding 2 seconds),
- « OUT » appears on the HMI display,
- With the incremental encoder, select a job number. Only numbers associated with existing jobs can be displayed,
- Press the « JOB » button 3 consecutive times. The selected job is now deleted and the power source
displays the welding current again.

Time to purge the torch and to protect the area with gas before ignition
Welding current
Manual or a defined time.
Duration for which gas is released after the arc has stopped. It protects the weld pool and the
electrode against oxidisation when the metal is cooling down.
