Crater Current

This parameter operates in TIG modes

only.
In 2T mode this is the current at the

end of the down slope current ramp.

When the welding current reaches

the Crater Current value, the welding

current will cease and the unit will

enter Post Flow mode.
In 4T mode, this is the current at the

end of the down slope current ramp.

The welding current will remain at the

Crater Current value until the torch

trigger is released, at which time the

welding current will cease and the unit

will enter Post Flow mode.
Range is 5 to 315A. Factory default

is 30A.

Post Flow

This parameter operates in TIG

modes only and is used to adjust the

post gas flow time once the arc has

extinguished. This control is used to

dramatically reduce oxidation of the

tungsten electrode.
Range is 0.0 to 30.0 seconds. Factory

default is 5.0 seconds.

3.08 Setup for Manual Arc (MMAW) Welding

A. Connect the Electrode Holder lead to the positive welding terminal (+). If in doubt, consult the electrode

manufacturer. Welding current flows from the Power Source via heavy duty bayonet type terminals. It is

essential, however, that the male plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.

B. Connect the work lead to the negative welding terminal (-). If in doubt, consult the electrode manufacturer.

Welding current flows from the power source via heavy duty bayonet type terminals. It is essential, however,

that the male plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.

!

WARNING

Before connecting the work clamp to the work and inserting the electrode in the electrode holder

make sure the mains power supply is switched off.

CAUTION

Remove any packaging material prior to use. Do not block the air vents at the front or rear of the

Welding Power Source.
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being

fused.
