the user, it modulates the commands of the IGBT

The control board also determines the dynamic
response of the current transient during the phases of
electrode fusion (instant short circuit), and is
responsible for the safety system. Check the timers for
the gas and the current gradients. Check inlets and
outlets.

3 - Potentiometer to regulate welding current with
graduated scale in Amps, which
also allows regulation during welding.

welding current cannot flow due to one of the following
faults:

OPTION:
- Remote control pedal: as well as allowing continuous
welding current adjustment according to the foot
pressure exerted on the pedal, this can also be used to
start and stop the weld (stopping in the rest position)
without using the torch button. The current is adjusted
from 0 to the maximum setting on the main potentiometer
if the TIG process is selected (only 2 T, it does not work in
4T), and for MMA from 0 to the absolute maximum.
- Remote control for one potentiometer. This can be
used to adjust the welding current, directly from the
workstation, by turning a knob. The welding current is
adjusted from 0 to the maximum setting on the main
potentiometer if the TIG process is selected (2 or 4T), and
from 0 to the absolute maximum if the MMA process is
selected.
- Remote control for two potentiometers. The welding
current is adjusted (it functions like the control of one
potentiometer. The other potentiometer adjusts the post
gas if the TIG process is selected, while it adjusts the Arc
Force if the MMA process is selected.
CAUTION:
The remote adjustment elements are active also when
the selector is in the "electrode" position (M.M.A.).
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT:
- TIG welding torch (4m), ready for welding, provided with
