5.11.4.3 3-cycle operation
Figure 5-17
This operating mode differs from non-latched operation in the following ways:
• Once the third cycle (current) has started, the wire electrode is fed, corresponding to the welding
current, until the welding process ends.
5.11.4.4 Latched mode
Figure 5-18
This operating mode differs from non-latched operation in the following ways:
• Wire feeding is started by pressing and releasing (tapping) the BRT 1.
• By pressing and releasing (tapping) the BRT 1 again, wire feeding will stop. (It is not necessary to
keep the torch trigger pressed. This is especially helpful with long welding seams.)
