9
Before leaving the workplace, ensure that people or property cannot come to any
harm in your absence.
Mains connec- Devices with a higher rating may affect the energy quality of the mains due to
tion their current consumption.
This may affect a number device types in terms of:

- Connection restrictions
- Criteria with regard to the maximum permissible mains impedance *)
- Criteria with regard to the minimum short-circuit power requirement *)
*) at
the interface with the public grid
see "Technical data"
In this case, the plant operator or the person using the device should check
whether the device may be connected, where appropriate by discussing the mat-
ter with the power supply company.
IMPORTANT! Ensure that the mains connection is earthed properly
Protecting your- Anyone working with the device exposes themselves to numerous risks, e.g.
self and others - flying sparks and hot pieces of metal
- Arc radiation, which can damage eyes and skin
- Hazardous electromagnetic fields, which can endanger the lives of those us-
ing cardiac pacemakers
- Risk of electrocution from mains current and welding current
- Greater noise pollution
- Harmful welding fumes and gases
Suitable protective clothing must be worn when working with the device. The
protective clothing must have the following properties:
- Flame-resistant
- Insulating and dry
- Covers the whole body, is undamaged and in good condition
- Safety helmet
- Trousers with no turn-ups
Protective clothing refers to a variety of different items. Operators should:

- Protect eyes and face from UV rays, heat and sparks using a protective visor
and regulation filter
- Wear regulation protective goggles with side protection behind the protect-
ive visor
- Wear stout footwear that provides insulation even in wet conditions
- Protect the hands with suitable gloves (electrically insulated and providing
protection against heat)
- Wear ear protection to reduce the harmful effects of noise and to prevent in-
jury
Keep all persons, especially children, out of the working area while any devices
are in operation or welding is in progress. If, however, there are people in the vi-
cinity:
- Make them aware of all the dangers (risk of dazzling by the arc, injury from
flying sparks, harmful welding fumes, noise, possible risks from mains cur-
rent and welding current, etc.)
- Provide suitable protective equipment
- Alternatively, erect suitable safety screens/curtains.
10
Noise emission The device generates a maximum sound power level of <80 dB(A) (ref. 1pW)
EN
values when idling and in the cooling phase following operation at the maximum per-
missible operating point under maximum rated load conditions according to EN
60974-1.
It is not possible to provide a workplace-related emission value during welding

(or cutting) as this is influenced by both the process and the environment. All
manner of different welding parameters come into play, including the welding
process (MIG/MAG, TIG welding), the type of power selected (DC or AC), the
power range, the type of weld metal, the resonance characteristics of the work-
piece, the workplace environment, etc.
Danger from tox- The fumes produced during welding contain harmful gases and vapours.
ic gases and va-
pours Welding fumes contain substances that cause cancer, as stated in Monograph
118 of the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
Use at-source extraction and a room extraction system.

If necessary, use a welding torch with an integrated extraction device.
Keep your face away from welding fumes and gases.
Fumes and hazardous gases

- must not be breathed in
- must be extracted from the working area using appropriate methods.
Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air. Ensure that there is a ventilation rate of
at least 20 m³ per hour at all times.
Otherwise, a welding helmet with an air supply must be worn.
If there is any doubt about whether the extraction capacity is sufficient, the
measured toxic emission values should be compared with the permissible limit
values.
The following components are responsible, amongst other things, for the degree
of toxicity of welding fumes:
- Metals used for the workpiece
- Electrodes
- Coatings
- Cleaners, degreasers, etc.
- Welding process used
The relevant material safety data sheets and manufacturer's specifications for
the listed components should therefore be studied carefully.
Recommendations for trade fair scenarios, risk management measures and for
identifying working conditions can be found on the European Welding Associ-
ation website under Health & Safety (https://european-welding.org).
Flammable vapours (e.g. solvent fumes) should be kept away from the arc's radi-
ation area.
Close the shielding gas cylinder valve or main gas supply if no welding is taking
place.
Danger from fly- Flying sparks may cause fires or explosions.

ing sparks
11
Never weld close to flammable materials.
Flammable materials must be at least 11 metres (36 ft. 1.07 in.) away from the
arc, or alternatively covered with an approved cover.
A suitable, tested fire extinguisher must be available and ready for use.
Sparks and pieces of hot metal may also get into adjacent areas through small
gaps or openings. Take appropriate precautions to prevent any danger of injury or
fire.
Welding must not be performed in areas that are subject to fire or explosion or
near sealed tanks, vessels or pipes unless these have been prepared in accord-
ance with the relevant national and international standards.
Do not carry out welding on containers that are being or have been used to store
gases, propellants, mineral oils or similar products. Residues pose an explosive
hazard.
Risks from mains An electric shock is potentially life threatening and can be fatal.
current and
welding current Do not touch live parts either inside or outside the device.
During MIG/MAG welding and TIG welding, the welding wire, the wirespool, the
feed rollers and all pieces of metal that are in contact with the welding wire are
live.
Always set the wirefeeder up on a sufficiently insulated surface or use a suitable,

insulated wirefeeder holder.
Make sure that you and others are protected with an adequately insulated, dry
base or cover for the earth or ground potential. This base or cover must extend
over the entire area between the body and the earth or ground potential.
All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated and adequately di-
mensioned. Replace loose connections and scorched, damaged, or inadequately
dimensioned cables and leads immediately.
Use the handle to ensure the power connections are tight before every use.
In the case of power cables with a bayonet connector, rotate the power cable
around the longitudinal axis by at least 180° and pretension.
Do not wrap cables or leads around the body or parts of the body.
The electrode (rod electrode, tungsten electrode, welding wire, etc.) must
- never be immersed in liquid for cooling
- Never touch the electrode when the power source is switched on.
Double the open circuit voltage of a power source can occur between the welding
electrodes of two power sources. Touching the potentials of both electrodes at
the same time may be fatal under certain circumstances.
Arrange for the mains cable to be checked regularly by a qualified electrician to

ensure the ground conductor is functioning properly.
Protection class I devices require a mains supply with ground conductor and a
connector system with ground conductor contact for proper operation.
Operation of the device on a mains supply without ground conductor and on a

socket without ground conductor contact is only permitted if all national regula-
tions for protective separation are observed.
Otherwise, this is considered gross negligence. The manufacturer shall not be
held liable for any damage arising from such usage.
12
If necessary, provide adequate earthing for the workpiece.
EN
Switch off unused devices.
Wear a safety harness if working at height.
Before working on the device, switch it off and pull out the mains plug.
Attach a clearly legible and easy-to-understand warning sign to the device to

prevent anyone from plugging the mains plug back in and switching it on again.
After opening the device:

- Discharge all live components
- Ensure that all components in the device are de-energised.
If work on live parts is required, appoint a second person to switch off the main
switch at the right moment.
Meandering If the following instructions are ignored, meandering welding currents can devel-
welding currents op with the following consequences:
- Fire hazard
- Overheating of parts connected to the workpiece
- Damage to ground conductors
- Damage to device and other electrical equipment
Ensure that the workpiece is held securely by the workpiece clamp.
Attach the workpiece clamp as close as possible to the area that is to be welded.
Position the device with sufficient insulation against electrically conductive envir-
onments, such as insulation against conductive floor or insulation to conductive
racks.
If power distribution boards, twin-head mounts, etc., are being used, note the fol-
lowing: The electrode of the welding torch / electrode holder that is not used is
also live. Make sure that the welding torch / electrode holder that is not used is
kept sufficiently insulated.
In the case of automated MIG/MAG applications, ensure that only an insulated

wire electrode is routed from the welding wire drum, large wirefeeder spool or
wirespool to the wirefeeder.
EMC Device Devices in emission class A:

Classifications - Are only designed for use in industrial settings
- Can cause line-bound and radiated interference in other areas
Devices in emission class B:

- Satisfy the emissions criteria for residential and industrial areas. This is also
true for residential areas in which the energy is supplied from the public low-
voltage mains.
EMC device classification as per the rating plate or technical data.
EMC measures In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values for
emissions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g. when
there is sensitive equipment at the same location, or if the site where the device
is installed is close to either radio or television receivers).
13
If this is the case, then the operator is obliged to take appropriate action to recti-
fy the situation.
Check and evaluate the immunity to interference of nearby devices according to

national and international regulations. Examples of equipment that may be sus-
ceptible to interference from the device include:
- Safety devices
- Power, signal and data transfer lines
- IT and telecommunications devices
- Measuring and calibrating devices
Supporting measures for avoidance of EMC problems:

1. Mains supply
- If electromagnetic interference arises despite correct mains connection,
additional measures are necessary (e.g. use a suitable line filter).
2. Welding power leads
- must be kept as short as possible
- must run close together (to avoid EMF problems)
- must be kept well apart from other leads
3. Equipotential bonding
4. Earthing of the workpiece
- If necessary, establish an earth connection using suitable capacitors.
5. Shielding, if necessary
- Shield off other nearby devices
- Shield off entire welding installation
EMF measures Electromagnetic fields may pose as yet unknown risks to health:
- Effects on the health of persons in the vicinity, e.g. those with pacemakers
and hearing aids
- Individuals with pacemakers must seek advice from their doctor before ap-
proaching the device or any welding that is in progress
- For safety reasons, maintain as large a distance as possible between the
welding power-leads and the head/torso of the welder
- Do not carry welding power-leads and hosepacks over the shoulders or wind
them around any part of the body
Specific hazards Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from moving parts. For example:
- Fans
- Cogs
- Rollers
- Shafts
- Wirespools and welding wires
Do not reach into the rotating cogs of the wire drive or into rotating drive com-
ponents.
Covers and side panels may only be opened/removed while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.
During operation
- Ensure that all covers are closed and all side panels are fitted properly.
- Keep all covers and side panels closed.
The welding wire emerging from the welding torch poses a high risk of injury
(piercing of the hand, injuries to the face and eyes, etc.).
Therefore, always keep the welding torch away from the body (devices with
wirefeeder) and wear suitable protective goggles.
14
Never touch the workpiece during or after welding - risk of burns.
EN
Slag can jump off cooling workpieces. The specified protective equipment must
therefore also be worn when reworking workpieces, and steps must be taken to
ensure that other people are also adequately protected.
Welding torches and other parts with a high operating temperature must be al-
lowed to cool down before handling.
Special provisions apply in areas at risk of fire or explosion

- observe relevant national and international regulations.
Power sources for work in areas with increased electric risk (e.g. near boilers)
must carry the "Safety" sign. However, the power source must not be located in
such areas.
Risk of scalding from escaping coolant. Switch off cooling unit before discon-
necting coolant flow or return lines.
Observe the information on the coolant safety data sheet when handling coolant.
The coolant safety data sheet may be obtained from your service centre or down-
loaded from the manufacturer's website.
Use only suitable load-carrying equipment supplied by the manufacturer when

transporting devices by crane.
- Hook chains or ropes onto all suspension points provided on the load-carry-
ing equipment.
- Chains and ropes must be at the smallest angle possible to the vertical.
- Remove gas cylinder and wirefeeder (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
If the wirefeeder is attached to a crane holder during welding, always use a suit-
able, insulated wirefeeder hoisting attachment (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
If the device has a carrying strap or handle, this is intended solely for carrying by
hand. The carrying strap is not to be used if transporting with a crane, counter-
balanced lift truck or other mechanical hoist.
All lifting tackle (straps, handles, chains, etc.) used in connection with the device
or its components must be tested regularly (e.g. for mechanical damage, corro-
sion or changes caused by other environmental factors).
The testing interval and scope of testing must comply with applicable national
standards and directives as a minimum.
Odourless and colourless shielding gas may escape unnoticed if an adapter is

used for the shielding gas connection. Prior to assembly, seal the device-side
thread of the adapter for the shielding gas connection using suitable Teflon tape.
Requirement for Especially with ring lines, contaminated shielding gas can cause damage to
the shielding gas equipment and reduce welding quality.
Meet the following requirements regarding shielding gas quality:
- Solid particle size < 40 µm
- Pressure condensation point < -20 °C
- Max. oil content < 25 mg/m³
Use filters if necessary.
Danger from Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under pressure and can explode if damaged.
shielding gas cyl- As the shielding gas cylinders are part of the welding equipment, they must be
inders handled with the greatest of care.
15
Protect shielding gas cylinders containing compressed gas from excessive heat,
mechanical impact, slag, naked flames, sparks and arcs.
Mount the shielding gas cylinders vertically and secure according to instructions
to prevent them falling over.
Keep the shielding gas cylinders well away from any welding or other electrical
circuits.
Never hang a welding torch on a shielding gas cylinder.
Never touch a shielding gas cylinder with an electrode.
Risk of explosion - never attempt to weld a pressurised shielding gas cylinder.
Only use shielding gas cylinders suitable for the application in hand, along with
the correct and appropriate accessories (regulator, hoses and fittings). Only use
shielding gas cylinders and accessories that are in good condition.
Turn your face to one side when opening the valve of a shielding gas cylinder.
Close the shielding gas cylinder valve if no welding is taking place.
If the shielding gas cylinder is not connected, leave the valve cap in place on the
cylinder.
The manufacturer's instructions must be observed as well as applicable national

and international regulations for shielding gas cylinders and accessories.
Danger from es- Risk of suffocation from the uncontrolled escape of shielding gas
caping shielding
gas Shielding gas is colourless and odourless and, in the event of a leak, can displace
the oxygen in the ambient air.
- Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air with a ventilation rate of at least
20 m³/hour.
- Observe safety and maintenance instructions on the shielding gas cylinder or
the main gas supply.
- Close the shielding gas cylinder valve or main gas supply if no welding is tak-
ing place.
- Check the shielding gas cylinder or main gas supply for uncontrolled gas
leakage before every start-up.
Safety measures A device toppling over could easily kill someone. Place the device on a solid, level
at the installa- surface such that it remains stable
tion location and - The maximum permissible tilt angle is 10°.
during transport
Special regulations apply in rooms at risk of fire or explosion
- Observe relevant national and international regulations.
Use internal directives and checks to ensure that the workplace environment is
always clean and clearly laid out.
Only set up and operate the device in accordance with the degree of protection
shown on the rating plate.
When setting up the device, ensure there is an all-round clearance of 0.5 m (1 ft.
7.69 in.) to ensure that cooling air can flow in and out freely.
When transporting the device, observe the relevant national and local guidelines
and accident prevention regulations. This applies especially to guidelines regard-
ing the risks arising during transport.
16
Do not lift or transport operational devices. Switch off devices before transport
or lifting.
EN
Before transporting the device, allow coolant to drain completely and detach the
following components:
- Wirefeeder
- Wirespool
- Shielding gas cylinder
After transporting the device, the device must be visually inspected for damage
before commissioning. Any damage must be repaired by trained service techni-
cians before commissioning the device.
Safety measures Only operate the device when all safety devices are fully functional. If the safety
in normal opera- devices are not fully functional, there is a risk of
tion - injury or death to the operator or a third party
- damage to the device and other material assets belonging to the operator
- inefficient operation of the device
Any safety devices that are not functioning properly must be repaired before
switching on the device.
Never bypass or disable safety devices.
Before switching on the device, ensure that no one is likely to be endangered.
Check the device at least once a week for obvious damage and proper function-
ing of safety devices.
Always fasten the shielding gas cylinder securely and remove it beforehand if the
device is to be transported by crane.
Only the manufacturer's original coolant is suitable for use with our devices due
to its properties (electrical conductibility, anti-freeze agent, material compatibil-
ity, flammability, etc.).
Only use suitable original coolant from the manufacturer.
Do not mix the manufacturer's original coolant with other coolants.
Only connect the manufacturer's system components to the cooling circuit.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from use of other sys-
tem components or a different coolant. In addition, all warranty claims will be
forfeited.
Cooling Liquid FCL 10/20 does not ignite. The ethanol-based coolant can ignite
under certain conditions. Transport the coolant only in its original, sealed con-
tainers and keep well away from any sources of ignition.
Used coolant must be disposed of properly in accordance with the relevant na-
tional and international regulations. The coolant safety data sheet may be ob-
tained from your service centre or downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
Check the coolant level before starting to weld, while the system is still cool.
Commissioning, It is impossible to guarantee that bought-in parts are designed and manufac-
maintenance and tured to meet the demands made of them, or that they satisfy safety require-
repair ments.

Device concept The MagicWave (MW)1700 / 2200 /
2500 / 3000 / 4000 / 5000 and Tran-
sTig (TT) 800 / 2200 / 2500 / 3000 /
4000 / 5000 TIG power sources are
completely digitised, microprocessor
controlled inverter power sources.
Their modular design and potential for

system add-ons ensure a high degree
of flexibility. The devices can be adap-
ted to any situation.
The straightforward operating

concept means that essential func-
tions can be seen at a glance and ad-
justed as required.
TransTig 2200 Job, MagicWave 1700 Job and Job mode allows frequently used
MagicWave 2200 Job with cooling unit welding data to be stored and re-
trieved easily.
A standardised LocalNet interface

makes it easy to connect digital sys-
tem add-ons (e.g. JobMaster TIG
welding torches, robot welding
torches, remote control units, etc.).
Automatic cap-shaping for AC weld-

ing with MagicWave power sources
takes the diameter of the tungsten
electrode into account to help pro-
duce optimum results.
The power sources are generator-

compatible. They are exceptionally
MagicWave 3000 Job with cooling unit and sturdy in day-to-day operation thanks
MagicWave 2500 Job to the protected control elements and
their powder-coated housings.
23
The TIG pulsed arc function, with its
wide frequency range, is available on
both the MagicWave and TransTig.
To optimise the ignition sequence in

TIG AC welding, the MagicWave takes
into account not only the diameter of
the electrode, but also its current
temperature, calculated with refer-
ence to the preceding welding time
and welding off-time.
RPI (Reverse Polarity Ignition) en-
sures an excellent ignition response
during TIG DC welding.
TransTig 5000 Job and MagicWave 5000 Job,

both with cooling unit and trolley
Functional prin- The central control and regulation unit of the power sources is coupled with a di-
ciple gital signal processor. The central control and regulation unit and signal pro-
cessor control the entire welding process.
During the welding process, the actual data is measured continuously and the
device responds immediately to any changes. Control algorithms ensure that the
desired target state is maintained.
This results in:

- a precise welding process,
- exact reproducibility of all results
- excellent weld properties.
Application The devices are used in workshops and industry for manual and automated TIG
areas applications with unalloyed and low-alloy steel and high-alloy chrome-nickel
steels.
The MagicWave power sources perform exceptionally well when it comes to weld-
ing aluminium, aluminium alloys and magnesium due to the variable AC fre-
quency.

Cap shaping and cap overloading
Cap-shaping On MagicWave power sources, an

automatic cap-shaping function is
available for the TIG AC welding
process:
- When the TIG AC welding pro-
cess is selected, activate auto-
matic cap-shaping
- The ideal cap for the specified
diameter of the tungsten elec-
trode is formed during welding
start-up.
A separate cap-shaping opera-
tion on a test workpiece is not
necessary.
(1) (2) - The automatic cap-shaping
function is then reset and deac-
tivated.
(1) Before ignition The automatic cap-shaping
(2) After ignition function has to be activated
separately for each tungsten
electrode.
NOTE!
The automatic cap-shaping function is not necessary if a sufficiently large cap
has already formed at the tip of the tungsten electrode.
Cap overloading If the cap is overloaded, there is a risk of an excessively large cap forming on the
tungsten electrode. This will negatively affect the ignition properties.
If the cap is overloaded, the "Electrode overload" indicator will light up

on the control panel.
Possible causes of cap overloading:

- tungsten electrode diameter is too small
- main current value I1 set too high
- the balance has been set too far towards "+"
Remedy:
- use a tungsten electrode with a larger diameter
- reduce the main current and/or set the balance further towards "-"
NOTE!
The "Electrode overload" indicator is fine-tuned to work with the following
tungsten electrodes:
TIG AC welding: pure tungsten electrodes
TIG DC welding: ceriated electrodes
For all other electrodes, the "Electrode overload" indicator must be treated as a
reference value.

Igniting the arc
EN
General To ensure the best ignition sequence in the TIG AC welding process, the Ma-
gicWave power sources take account of:
- the diameter of the tungsten electrode
- the current temperature of the tungsten electrode with reference to the pre-
ceding welding and weld-off times
To ensure the ideal ignition sequence in TIG DC welding, MagicWave power

sources are equipped with RPI (Reverse Polarity Ignition).
At the start of welding, the polarity is briefly reversed. Electrons emerge from
the workpiece and strike the tungsten electrode. This results in the tungsten
electrode heating up rapidly - an essential prerequisite for optimum ignition
properties.
For more information about the RPI function, please refer to the "Set-up menu
DC: level 2" section in the set-up parameters chapter.

quency Risk of injury due to shock caused by electric shock
(HF ignition) Although Fronius devices comply with all relevant standards, high-frequency ig-
nition can transmit a harmless but noticeable electric shock under certain cir-
cumstances.
▶ Use prescribed protective clothing, especially gloves!
▶ Only use suitable, completely intact and undamaged TIG hosepacks!
▶ Do not work in damp or wet environments!
▶ Take special care when working on scaffolding, work platforms, in forced po-
sitions (out-of-position welding), in tight, difficult to access or exposed areas!
HF ignition is activated when a time value has been set for the HFt setup para-
meter.
The HF ignition indicator lights up on the control panel.
Compared with touchdown ignition, HF ignition eliminates the risk of contamina-

tion of the tungsten electrode and the workpiece.
Procedure for HF ignition:
83
1 Place the gas nozzle down on the
ignition location so that there is a
gap of approx. 2 to 3 mm (5/64 to
1/8 in.) between the tungsten elec-
trode and the workpiece
2 Increase the tilt angle of the torch

and actuate the torch trigger ac-
cording to the mode you have se-
lected

Special functions and options
Arc break watch- If the arc breaks and the current does not start to flow again within the time spe-
dog function cified in the set-up menu, the power source cuts out automatically. The service
code "no | Arc" appears on the control panel.
To start the welding process again, press any key on the control panel or the
torch trigger.
The settings for the arc break watchdog set-up parameter (Arc) are described in
the "TIG set-up menu - level 2" section.
Ignition time- The power source has an ignition time-out function.

out function
Once the torch trigger is pressed, gas pre-flow begins immediately. Ignition then
begins. If an arc does not appear within the time specified in the set-up menu,
the power source cuts out automatically. The service code "no | IGn" appears on
the control panel.
"E55" is displayed on the JobMaster TIG welding torch.

To try again, press any key on the control panel or press the torch trigger.
The settings for the ignition time-out parameter (ito) are described in the "TIG
set-up menu: level 2" section.
TIG pulsing The welding current set at the start of welding is not always ideal for the welding
process as a whole:
- if the amperage is too low, the base material will not melt sufficiently,
- if overheating occurs, the liquid weld pool may drip.
The TIG pulsing function (TIG welding with pulsing welding current) offers a rem-
edy:
a low ground current I-G rises steeply to the significantly higher pulse current I1
and, depending on the set dcY (duty cycle) time, drops back to the ground cur-
rent I-G.
In TIG pulsing, small sections of the welding location melt quickly and then so-
lidify again quickly.
In manual applications using TIG pulsing, the welding wire is applied in the max-
imum current phase (only possible in the low frequency range: 0.25 - 5 Hz). High-
er pulse frequencies are mainly used in automatic mode to stabilise the arc.
TIG pulsing is used for out-of-position welding of steel pipes or when welding
thin sheets.

Tacking function The tacking function is available for the TIG DC welding process.
When a time period is specified for the tAC (tacking) setup parameter, the tack-
ing function is assigned to 2-step mode and 4-step mode. The operating se-
quence of the modes remains unchanged.
During this period, a pulsed welding current is present that makes the weld pool
run together better when two parts are being tacked.

After the tAC time has elapsed, welding continues at a constant welding current,
and any pulsing parameters that may have been set continue to be available.
NOTE!
To set a specified tacking time, the tAC setup parameter can be combined with
the SPt setup parameter (spot welding time).

Hotstart func- To obtain optimum welding results, it will sometimes be necessary to adjust the
tion hotstart function.
Benefits
- Improved ignition, even when using electrodes with poor ignition properties
- Better fusion of the base material in the start-up phase, meaning fewer cold-
shut defects
- Largely prevents slag inclusions
See the "Set-up menu: level 2" section for details on setting the available welding
parameters.

The HotStart current is 70% higher than the set welding current I1.
The hotstart function is activated.
HCU = 200
The HotStart current is twice the set welding current I1.
The hotstart function is activated, the HotStart current is at its maximum.
HCU = 2 x I1
Anti-stick func- As the arc becomes shorter, the welding voltage may drop so far that the rod
tion electrode will tend to stick. This may also cause the rod electrode to burn out.
Electrode burn-out is prevented by activating the anti-stick function. If the rod

electrode begins to stick, the power source immediately switches the welding
current off. After the rod electrode has been detached from the workpiece, the
welding process can be continued without any problems.
The anti-stick function can be activated and deactivated in the "Set-up menu -
level 2" section.

Job mode
EN
General Job mode enhances the quality of welding engineering fabrication, both in manu-
al and automated welding.
Up to 100 common jobs (operating points) can be reproduced in Job mode,
avoiding the need to document welding parameters by hand.
Another advantage is that the power source is immediately ready for welding
with the desired parameters. You can also arrange jobs in the order required by
the production sequence. "Grouping" of jobs is also supported (e.g. by different
components).
The result is to minimise downtimes while ensuring 100% reproducible quality.
Abbreviations The following messages may be displayed while working with jobs:
-- No job in this program location (job retrieval)
- .....
nPG ... No job in this program location (when saving a job)

set for G-H.
IMPORTANT! The values set for the G-L and G-H set-up parameters are added
together. For example, if both welding parameters are at maximum (25 s / 40
s), the gas post-flow will last:
- 25 s at minimum welding current
- 65 s at maximum welding current
- 37.5 s if the welding current is exactly half the maximum, etc.
If Aut is set, the gas post-flow time G-H is calculated automatically. This takes
the selected process (AC or DC welding) into account.

To obtain optimum welding results, it will sometimes be necessary to adjust

To obtain optimum welding results, it will sometimes be necessary to adjust the
arc-force dynamic.
Functional principle:
at the instant of droplet transfer or when a short circuit occurs, there is a mo-
mentary rise in amperage. In order to obtain a stable arc, the welding current is
temporarily increased. If the rod electrode threatens to sink into the weld pool,
this measure prevents the weld pool solidifying, as well as preventing more
prolonged short circuiting of the arc. This largely prevents the rod electrode
from sticking.

Anti-stick
Unit -

As the arc becomes shorter, the welding voltage may drop so far that the rod
electrode will tend to stick. This may also cause the rod electrode to burn out.
Electrode burn-out is prevented by activating the anti-stick function. If the rod

electrode begins to stick, the power source immediately switches the welding
current off. After the rod electrode has been detached from the workpiece, the
welding process can be continued without any problems.

"con" parameter (constant welding current)

- If the "con" parameter is set, the welding current will be kept constant, irre-
spective of the welding voltage. This results in a vertical characteristic (4).
- The "con" parameter is especially suitable for rutile electrodes and basic
electrodes, as well as for arc air gouging.
- For arc air gouging, set the arc-force dynamic to "100".
Parameter "0.1 - 20" (drooping characteristic with adjustable slope)

- Parameter "0.1 - 20" is used to set a drooping characteristic (5). The setting
range extends from 0.1 A / V (very steep) to 20 A / V (very flat).
- Setting a flat characteristic (5) is only advisable for cellulose electrodes.

NOTE!
EN
When setting a flat characteristic (5), set the arc-force dynamic to a higher
value.
"P" parameter (constant welding power)

- If the "P" parameter is set, the welding power is kept constant, irrespective
of the welding voltage and welding current. This results in a hyperbolic char-
acteristic (6).
- The "P" parameter is particularly suitable for cellulose electrodes.
NOTE!
If there are problems with a rod electrode tending to "stick", set the arc-force
dynamic to a higher value.

Settings example: I1 = 250 A, arc-force dynamic = 50
The characteristics (4), (5) and (6) shown here apply when using a rod electrode
whose characteristic corresponds to the load line (1) at a given arc length.
Depending on what welding current (I) has been set, the point of intersection
(operating point) of characteristics (4), (5) and (6) will be displaced along the load
line (1). The operating point provides information on the actual welding voltage
and the actual welding current.
Where the welding current (I1) is permanently set, the operating point may mi-
grate along the characteristics (4), (5) and (6) depending on the welding voltage
at that moment in time. The welding voltage U is dependent upon the arc length.
131
If the arc length changes, e.g. in accordance with the load line (2), the resulting
operating point will be the point where the corresponding characteristic (4), (5)
or (6) intersects with the load line (2).
Applies to characteristics (5) and (6): Depending upon the welding voltage (arc
length), the welding current (I) will also become either smaller or larger, even
though the value set for I1 remains the same.
Uco
U (Voltage) cut-off - Welding voltage limitation:
Unit V
Setting range OFF or 5 - 90
Factory setting OFF
The arc length depends on the welding voltage. To end the welding process, it
is usually necessary to significantly lift the rod electrode away from the work-
piece. With the "Uco" parameter, the welding voltage can be limited to a value
that makes it possible to end the welding operation simply by slightly lifting the
rod electrode.
NOTE!
If, during welding, you often find that the welding operation is ended uninten-
tionally, increase the value of the Uco parameter.
