Setting Hot Start (Aluminum Pulse Only) Parameters

To access the Setup Feature Menu, press
both SETUP (1) and ARC CONTROL (2)
buttons at the same time.

Left display will initially show arc hours.

Rotate left knob (3) until

ALST

appears in

the left display.

Rotate right knob (4) to select hot start
mode as follows:

Auto − default setting for preset hot start
parameters

Off − hot start is inactive

On − allows customized setting of hot start
parameters

Manual Hot Start Mode

When

ALST

appears in the left display and

On

appears in the right display, the welding

power source is set for manual hot start
mode.

To access hot start parameters, press the
SETUP (1) button until SPWR appears in
the left display.

SPWR − Start Power

Range for start power is 100-250 as a per-
cent of wire feed speed.

.

SPWR maximum setting will depend
on set wire feed speed and may not
allow a setting of 250 under certain
conditions.

STMR − Start Time

Time range is 0.0-0.5 seconds for hot start
to be on.

STRL − Start Arc Length

Range for start arc length is 0-99 that
changes arc length from shorter to longer.

RMPT − Ramp Time

Time range is 0.1-5.0 for the time it takes to
go from hot start to set wire feed speed.

.

The two parameters that will have the
largest influence on hot start are Start
Power and Start Time. These two pa-
rameters will determine how much
heat is provided and for how long at
the beginning of the weld.

To exit this menu, press the SETUP (1)
button.
