Start welding
Hotstart function To obtain optimum welding results, it will sometimes be necessary to adjust the hotstart
function.
Benefits
- Improved ignition, even when using electrodes with poor ignition properties
- Better fusion of the base material in the start-up phase, meaning fewer cold-shut de-
fects
- Largely prevents slag inclusions
For details on setting the available welding parameters, please refer to the "Rod elect. set-
up 2nd" section.
Example of hotstart function
Function:
during the specified hot-current time (Hti),
the welding current I
1
is increased to the
HotStart current HCU.
To activate the hotstart function, the Hot-
Start current HCU must be > 100.
NOTE! All welding parameter set values that have been set using the adjust-
ing dial remain stored until the next time they are changed. This applies even
if the power source is switched off and on again in the meantime.
