have a short distance from the electrode tip to the Stylus Hull opening . *It is recommended to use
the default settings for all other applications .
Post-flow Delay -
Allows users to have control of the amount of shield gas released after the
weld . Materials that solidify quickly do not need the system to maintain an inert gas environment
for as long, while materials that remain in a molten state for an abnormally long time may require
a longer post-flow delay to maintain good shielding at the weld spot .
Accelerator -
The Accelerator is an advanced feature that will automatically detect the time
between welds in order to determine how much gas to flow when welding . The Accelerator will use
standard gas flow delays for the first weld, but decrease the gas flow time for subsequent welds
that occur immediately after the first weld . With the accelerator feature on, an operator can weld
more quickly in applications that require, back-to-back welds because the system does not need
to clear a gas line that has recently been actively used (e .g . seam welding or automated welding) .
This feature can help save time and gas in back-to-back weld applications .
Purge -
Touch this button to send a shot of shielding gas through the gas flow system . This is
used to test if gas is flowing through the system properly, to check the pressure, and to clear the
gas line of any oxygen that may have entered between welds .
TIMING TAB
The Timing Tab allows users to control the amount of time used on different weld parameters .
Pre-Weld -
This is the time from
the moment the weld is initiated
(either by compressing the foot
pedal or touching the work piece
to the electrode) to the time the
weld process begins . Shorter
time will cause the weld process
to begin immediately . Longer
time will cause the weld to have a
noticeably extended delay before
it welds . As such, other factors
add to this delay for a total time
between trigger and weld energy
release (i .e . Gas to Preheat Delay) .
Retract Delay -
The Retract Delay allows users to change the amount of time it takes for the
electrode to fully retract to create the arc and weld . Sliding the bar to the left will bring the delay
time down and therefore make the arc and weld happen faster . Sliding the bar to the right will add
more time to the delay and make the arc and weld happen slower . *It is recommended for users
to keep the Retract Delay at the factory setting (if you do not know the factory setting go to the
System Tab and touch the Restore All Defaults button) .
Weld Time/Duration -
This adjusts the amount of time that the energy is discharged from the
ch
.
