The system
changes the gas
pressure after you
set it manually.
The manual gas
pressure mode gets
overridden in some
conditions.
The following conditions
cause the system to override
a manual gas pressure
setting with the default gas
pressure setting that matches
the type of cartridge installed
on the torch:
• Install a different type of
cartridge.
• Adjust the gas pressure
while the torch is locked
and then unlock the
torch.
• Go back to manual gas pressure
mode, and set the gas pressure
again. Make sure that the torch is
unlocked before you set the gas
pressure.
The system
changes the
output current (A)
or the operating
mode after you
set them.
You changed those
settings while the
torch was locked.
• The system does not
keep changes to the
output current (A) or
operating mode while the
torch-lock switch is in the
yellow lock (X) position
or while there is an
0-50-n “cartridge off”
fault condition.
• Set the torch-lock switch to the
“ready to fire” ( ) position before
you adjust the amperage or
operating mode.
• When you set the torch-lock switch
to the “ready to fire” ( ) position,
the system automatically sets the
amperage and operating mode to
match the type of cartridge installed
on the torch.
