Icon Description

When a remote control is

selected (excepted Up &

Down).

Secondary icon allows to

configure current range.

Hand Remote:

Accessible with Manual remote control and torch with

potentiometer.

User configure the current value only with potentiometer.

Knob on UI has no effect on welding current configuration.

Current range value is defined in secondary icon. In

example below the current range will be from 15A to

270A.

Figure 14

In order to change range value, push knob button and

configure lower and upper limits of current range.

Figure 15

Figure 16

Foot pedal:

Accessible only with Foot remote control.

User configure the minimum current when pedal is barely

press and the maximum current when the pedal is fully

pressed.

The current value display on Home menu correspond to

current according to pedal position.

Torch potentiometer:

Accessible only with Torch potentiometer.

Works like Foot remote control but foot effect is done with

torch potentiometer.

UP-DOWN torch:

Usable only with UP&Down torch.

During welding pushing UP button will smoothly increase

the current value and pushing DOWN button will smoothly

decrease the current value.

SMAW

Figure 17

To choose MMA mode process, select SMAW icon and

push the knob button.

Settings pages

In Home menu, push knob to select “Settings”.

Arc characteristics:

Figure 18

Icon Description

Soft arc behaviours. Hot Start and Arc

Force cannot be configured.

Crisp arc behaviours. Hot Start and Arc

Force cannot be configured.

In manual mode user has full access to

Hot Start and Arc Force values.

Arc will be pulsed with frequency, duty

and background current.

The machine allows the user the use 4 stick modes:

Soft: For a welding with a low spatter presence.

Crisp: For an aggressive welding, with an increased

Arc stability. This settings is mainly intended to

cellulosic electrodes.

Manual: user has full control of Arc Force and Hot start

parameters.

Pulse: user can define the frequency, duty, and

welding current.

WARNING

In Soft and Crisp, Hot Start and Arc Force cannot be

modified.

Hot Start:

This is a temporary increase in the initial welding current.

This helps ignite the arc quickly and reliably.

Figure 19

Select the “Hot Start”, push the knob button, change the

value and push again to validate.

Unit is in percentage. In this example the Initial current will

be equal the welding current with 40% of welding current

added.

Example: if welding current is 100A, the Hot Start current

will be 140%.

Arc Force:

This is a temporary increase in the output current during

normal stick welding. This temporary increase in output

current is used to clear intermittent contact between the

electrode and the weld puddle that occur during normal

stick welding.

Figure 20

Anti-Sticking

This feature cannot be modified by user.

This is a function that decreases the output current of the

machine to a low level when the operator makes an error

and sticks the electrode to the work piece. This decrease

in current allows the operator to remove the electrode

from the electrode holder without creating large sparks

that can damage the electrode holder.

English 6 English

Remote Control

Figure 21

In SMAW mode, two type of remote control can be

selected:

Hand remote control

Pedal Remote control.

For both, behavior is identical to GTAW. Refer to

dedicated section in GTAW chapter.

Gouging

Figure 22

To choose Gouging mode process, select gouging icon

and push the knob button.

Figure 23

Memories

In Home menu, user can save the current welding setup

in dedicated slot by pressing “Memories” button. Welding

process and all cycle parameters are saved and can be

recalled.

Figure 24

Save Memory

Select a slot and hold “Hold To Replace” to save the

current welding. A keyboard will appear allowing user to

name the memory.

Figure 25

English 7 English

Recall Memory

In Home menu, press Memories button. Navigate with

knob to desired memory to load and push Knob button.

An icon with slot number will appear on the top right.

Figure 26

When scrolling through memories slot, border of current

memory slot currently selected is displayed in green.

Otherwise, border will be red.

Figure 27

When a memory is used, user can also Unselect memory.

This action is necessary when Limit & Lockout are set on

memory slot and user needs full control. See Limits &

Lockouts section.

Figure 28

Erase Memories

Memories can be erased. Select “System Options”,

“Memories management” and finally “Edit memories”.

Select the memories you want to erase and push knob

button.

Figure 29

Export / Import memories

To export on USB key memories, plug USB key, then

selection USB key in System Options menu. Finally select

“Backup all settings & memories”.

Figure 30

To load from USB key memories previously saved, select

Load Only Memories.

Memories and PIN settings

When a supervisor code is created, memories can be

locked. See dedicated section Limits & Lockouts.

Memory currently

used

English 8 English

Limits & Lockouts

Limits & Lockouts allows user to limit or lock some

welding parameters like Preflow time, slope up etc…

This feature is closely linked to Memories and PIN

settings. Limitations and lockouts can only be defined in a

memory slot. User has to load a memory with limited

parameters to use limitation features.

To select and set limits and lockouts, select Memories

management in System Options menu.

If there is no PIN settings used on machine, Supervisor

line cannot be accessed.

A Supervisor (when PIN number is created) can access to

all memories locked or not. An Operator can only access

to unlocked memories.

Figure 31

Memory lock

When a supervisor code is created, locking memory

forbids any modifications of them. When memory is

locked, a lock will be displayed on top-right. To unlock,

push Unlock button.

Figure 32

In Home page, memory number is indicated with a lock.

Any memory modification by erasing are impossible as

long as memory is locked. To replace memory, supervisor

must unlock it before.

Figure 33

Memory limits and lockouts.

Limits:

In this section, an example will be taken to understand

how to limit duty cycle range from 40% to 60% of pulsed

TIG. This procedure must be executed for any parameters

where restriction are expected.

From Home page, TIG parameters are saved in memory

slot n°2 with duty cycle set to 50% (within 40% and 60%).

Figure 34

To define limit, user have to go to “System Options” 

“Memories Management” “Supervisor” or “Operator” 

“Limits & Lockouts” et select memory slot n°2.

As there is currently no restriction, range is maximum from

5% to 95%. Push Select button to configure minimum and

maximum value.

English 9 English

Figure 35

Set low limit to 40% and maximum limit to 60%. Value

50% displayed is the value previously store in memory.

WARNING

Low limit cannot be higher than value store in memory

and high limit cannot be lower than value store in

memory. Based on this example, if user want to limit duty

cycle from 60% to 70%, user has to save configuration in

memory with duty value between 60% and 70% for

example 65%

Figure 36

In Home menu, when Duty Cycle is selected, areas in

white show inaccessible values.

Figure 37

Lockouts:

In order to lock Duty cycle to only one value. Low and

High limits must be set to same value.
