- Save multiple jobs in a sequence and recall:
It is possible to store several jobs behind the other to move during the welding process between the
individual jobs back and forth. This is useful, for example, if a part must be welded with different welding
power, but the welding process should not be interrupted.
Comment: The jobs must all be of the same wire diameter and gas type.
But it is possible to use standard MIG/MAG and Power in the same sequence.
The job sequence must always be limited by a free job at the beginning and end.
Example:
Job 1
– free,
Job 2
- MIG 160A,
Job 3
- Power 250A,
Job 4
- MIG 100A,
Job 5
– free
In this example, it is possible to change during welding between the welding jobs 2, 3, and 4 by
using the + and - buttons.
It is possible to store several of these job sequences.
They must always be enclosed by a free job.
To activate a job sequence, a job from this sequence must be selected and called up by pressing the
arrow key. When the display of the torch is switched back to the normal display (after 3 seconds), it is
possible to select between the jobs using the + and - button.
Attention: If there is an error in the sequence (e.g., different gases / material), the job sequence cannot
be activated.
To reset the + / - buttons for the power control during welding, open the Job menu and select a free job
e.g. (F 1) and confirm it by pressing the arrow key.
