3 – Basic System Operations
Electrode end-of-life detection feature
The electrode end-of-life detection feature on the system protects the torch and workpiece from damage by automatically
stopping power to the torch when the electrode reaches its end of life. Fault code 0-32 also displays on the front panel
status screen. If you have the current set below 55 A, this feature is automatically disabled without displaying the icon on
the status screen.
To manually disable the feature:
1. Set the system to auto mode.
2. Press the current/gas selector button (see Figure 1) 5 times in quick succession, less than one second apart.
The icon (see Figure 1) displays on the status screen.
3. To re-enable the feature, press the current/gas selector button 5 times again in quick succession, less than one
second apart.
The icon disappears.
