10. ANNEX: PROGRAMMING USER GUIDE (TIG MODE).
Skip this chapter over if user-programming function (TIG mode) is not to be used.
4 programmable TIG operation modes (No.16-19) are available for this welding machine, and all the 4 modes are
clearly defined when leave factory. Users can freely modify them to meet their special requirements according to
the method provided in this chapter. Read this chapter carefully and fully understand all contents before the re-
programming or modifications of the operation modes.
1. Operation of the torch trigger
It is the operation mode's connotation that different operation of the torch trigger during welding lead to different

current waveform. The operation of torch trigger typically includes the following forms:
⊙ Release the torch trigger (↑)
⊙ Push the torch trigger and release it at once (↓↑)
⊙ Release the torch trigger and push it at once (↑↓)
⊙ Push the torch trigger twice within 0.5s (↓↑↓or↑↓↑↓)
⊙ Release the torch trigger twice within 0.5s (↑↓↑or↓↑↓↑)
These are the general descriptions of the operation of the torch trigger. In addition, descriptions based on operation
times are used in this chapter.
Single operation: Push or release the torch trigger.
Double operation: Push and release the torch trigger within 0.5s, or release and push the torch trigger within
0.5s.
Triple operation: Push, release and push the torch trigger within 0.5s, or release, push and release the torch
trigger within 0.5s.
Quartic operation: Push, release, push and release the torch trigger within 0.5s, or release, push, release and
push the torch trigger within 0.5s.
2. Coding of operation mode
For digital welding machine, the function of TIG operation mode is realized by running an orderly code group. This
orderly code group is called operation mode code sequence, and codes that composing of this sequence code are
named operation mode codes. To plan and design a new TIG operation mode is actually to design a code
sequence group and to program it into the welding machine. The code sequence of operation mode is composed of
the following.
Operation mode code sequence: C0, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9
In this sequence, Ci (i stands for code no. 0~9) is a code in the code sequence. The code sequence of an
operation mode is composed of 10 codes, and each code can be a number among 0~99. The meaning of all codes
in the code sequence are detailed as below.
C0 is the no. 0 code in the sequence, and it defines the operation time of the operation mode:
C0=0~89 stands for that the operation time is 0.0~8.9s.
C0=9X stands for that the operation time is (X+1)/10 of the upslope time.
C1~C9 respectively stands for no.1~9 code in the sequence and also the operation stipulation of step 1~9.
Different values of these codes stand for different operation stipulations. 100 codes are classified and explained in
Attached Table 2 based on their functions and characteristics, and users should fully understand all those. For
welding machine, operation mode is realized by implementing the code sequences one by one. Here Attached
Figure 1 and Attached Figure 2 show the general steps to implement the code sequences.
