Use control to select a starting am-
perage (3−400 amps) that is differ-

settings will override a remote con-
trol device).
Application:
Initial Amperage can be used while
GTAW welding to assist in preheat-
ing cold material prior to depositing
filler material, or to ensure a soft
start. Initial Amperage can also be
used for SMAW to ensure a more
consistent arc strike.
NOTE: Function is enabled, when
LED is lit.
