To activate/deactivate the anti-stick function
Setting range: off / on
Factory setting: on
As the arc becomes shorter, the welding voltage may drop so far that the rod
electrode will tend to stick. This may also cause the rod electrode to burn out.
The anti-stick function prevents the electrode from burning out. If the rod elec-
trode begins to stick, the power source switches the welding current off after 1.5
seconds. After the rod electrode has been lifted off the workpiece, the welding
process can be continued without any problems.

Break voltage
For setting a voltage, at which the welding process can be ended by slightly lift-
ing the rod electrode.
Setting range: 20.0 - 90.0 V
Factory setting: 90.0 V
The arc length depends on the welding voltage. To end the welding process, it is
usually necessary to significantly lift the rod electrode away from the workpiece.
With the break-voltage parameter, the welding voltage can be limited to a value
that makes it possible to end the welding operation simply by lifting the rod elec-
trode slightly.
IMPORTANT! If, during welding, you often find that the welding operation is
ended unintentionally, increase the value of the break voltage.

Comfort Stop Sensitivity
To activate/deactivate the TIG Comfort Stop function
Setting range: off / 0.1 - 2.0 V
Factory setting: 0.8 V
At the end of the welding operation, the welding current is switched off automat-
ically if the arc length increases by more than a defined amount. This prevents
the arc being unnecessarily elongated when the TIG gas-valve torch is lifted off
the workpiece.
