Introduction
•
0:Press and hold the gun switch, Electromagnetic gas valve is turned on. The shielding gas starts to flow;
•
0~t1:
•
t1: Striking success, adjustment range of start current: 5~160A(200A);
•
t2:Loosen the gun switch, the output current slopes up from start current; if the output pulse function is
turned on, the output current is pulsed;
•
t2~t3: Output current slopes up to the setting current value; adjustment range of up slope time 0~5.0S ;
•
t3~t4:Welding process. During this period, the gun switch is loosen;
•
Note: If the output pulse function is turned on, the output current is pulsed. If the output pulse function is
turned off, the output current is DC current;
•
t4:
Repress down the gun switch, the output current slopes down to crater current; if the output pulse
function is turned on, the slope down current is pulsed;
•
t4~t5:Down slope time, adjustment rang of down slope time: 0~5.0S;
•
t5~t6:Crater current holds time; adjustment range of crater current: 5~160A (200A);
•
t6: Loosen the gun switch, stop arc, and keep on argon flowing;
•
t6~t7:Post flow time, adjustment range of post flow time: 3.0~10.0S;
•
t7: Electromagnetic valve is closed and stop argon flowing. Welding is finished.
