HotStart current
Unit: %
Setting range: 0 - 100
Factory setting: 50
To obtain the best possible welding result, the HotStart function will sometimes
need to be adjusted.
Advantages:
- Improved ignition properties, even when using electrodes with poor ignition
properties
- Better fusion of the parent material during the start-up phase, meaning fewer
cold-shut defects
- Slag inclusions largely avoided

Example of "HotStart" function
Key
Hti .... Hot current time = 0-2 s, factory setting 0.5 s
HCU .. HotStart current = 0-100%, factory setting 50%
I
1
........ Main current = set welding current
Function
During the specified hot-current time (Hti), the welding current is increased to a certain
value. This value is 0-100% (HCU) higher than the set welding current (I
1
).

To obtain the best possible welding results, the arc-force dynamic will sometimes
need to be adjusted.
Operating principle
At the moment of droplet transfer or in event of a short circuit, a short-term
increase in the amperage will occur. To maintain a stable arc, the welding current
temporarily rises. If the rod electrode is at risk of sinking into the weld pool, this
action prevents the weld pool from solidifying, as well as reducing the duration of
