C01 Welding current limit for up/down torch.
When the welding current limit is switched
to “On”, the welding current on the up/down
torch cannot be set higher than pre-select-
ed on the control terminal.
On-Off
C02 Deactivation of the error message E05-00
(water pump) and of the water cooling unit
by LorchNet.
If the deactivation is switched “on”, the
error message E05-00 (water pump) is no
longer displayed.
Also the water cooling unit is not switched
on by LorchNet.
Practical, e.g. for the use of an automatic
torch without plug or a cooling unit without
LorchNet.
On-Off
C03 Activation of the orbital welding mode. On-Off
C04 ON: at short circuit the welding current
don’t increase the adjusted welding current
shown in the display (set value).
Off: at short circuit the welding current is
increased on minimum 60 A.
On-Off
C05 ON: by quick pressing of torch button 1
(start / stop) the 2nd torch button is simu-
lated.
(Second current on / off). Useful e.g. for
torches with one button only.
On-Off
C06 ON: the current decrease (downslope) will
be - as adjusted – conducted, also if the
torch button is released (4th tact).
Off: at earlier release of the torch button
(4th tact) the current decrease (downslope)
is interrupted.

Adjustment of the torch-ID
Every torch of the i-LTG/i-LTW-series has an own torch-
ID. This ID is related to the stress limits of the torch. If
the torch protection is activated (sub-parameter “tPr” =
on) in the TIG-mode, only a welding current according to
the maximum torch limit can be adjusted at the welding
machine.
The adjustment of the torch –ID is necessary for e.g.
if the torch pc-board was changed.
 Select in the user specic menu code-no. C00
 Adjust the required torch-ID at the turning knob 34,
according to the torch-ID-chart.

With the MACS (Modulated AC system) welding proce-
dure, the welding current is pulsed with alternating and
direct current.
