Torch button on manual torch
The torch button functions in four-cycle operation:
• Start process by pressing the button.
• During the welding process, press the torch button again and hold it down: The machine carries out the final slope-
off for the programmed time and as long as the torch button is pressed. When the final current is reached, the
machine ends welding automatically.
• Release the torch button while slope-off is active: The process is interrupted (used, for example, to set a tack point
without having to wait for the entire slope-off time to pass).
Weld current and pulse times
As programmed in sector 1: The machine remains in sector 1 during the entire manual welding procedure; any pro-
grammed sector times and rotation angles are meaningless.
Gas pre purge, ignition current, slope-off and gas post purge:
As programmed.
Sensors for gas and coolant monitoring:
Active during manual operation, weld current is monitored.
Speed monitoring:
Deactivated; programmed weld speeds are meaningless.
