As shown here, after the
TIG torch trigger is
quickly pressed and
released from step 3A, it
is possible to press and
hold the TIG torch trigger
another time to end the
downslope time and
maintain the output
current at the Crater
current. When the TIG
torch trigger is released
the output will again
increase to the Welding
current, like in step 4, to continue welding. When the
main part of the weld is complete go to step 3.
As shown here, again
after the TIG torch trigger
is quickly pressed and
released from step 3A, it
is possible to quickly
press and release the
TIG torch trigger a
second time to end the
downslope time and stop
welding.

Bi-Level Current - (If Enabled from the
Setup Menu)
Depressing an arc start switch and releasing
will initiate the arc to current level A1.
Depressing and releasing the arc Start
switch again will toggle to current level A2.
Each depressing and releasing of the switch
will toggle between A1 and A2. Depressing
and holding the switch in will initiate the
down-slope to the finish current level and
finally releasing the trigger will extinguish the
arc.
Spot Timer -(If Enabled from theSetup
Menu)
Selecting this trigger mode will enable a spot
timer parameter setting to be displayed as a
welding parameter. Once the arc is
establish the machine will weld for the time
period set by the spot timer parameter
setting. The machine will follow the
functionality of two-step in that start current,
up-slope, down-slope and finish current can
all be adjusted.
Push button B: Trigger Modes
Stick Trigger Modes
Local
In this mode the machine ignores any remote
that is plugged. The machine will weld at the
preset value set at the panel of the machine.
Remote
Allows the amperage to be set with a remote
potentiometer.
Push button C: TIG Pulse Modes
Pulse On
Turns on pulse welding in TIG mode.
Changes the sequence diagram to Pulse TIG
and allows the adjustment of the following
added parameters:
•
Pulse Frequency
•
% Peak Time
•
Background Current
Pulse Off
Turns off pulse welding inTIG.
Push button D, E & F: Memory
Operation
Pressing and releasing the memory location (D) button
will scroll through memory locations 1 through 10. When
a memory is recalled or saved the memory location
display will change to reversed text indicating that the
current memory parameters are active.
Normal Display
(Unselected)
Saving to Memory
•
Press and hold Memory Save Button (E) for 3
seconds to save to memory. The Memory location
display indicator (D) will change to a reverse text
indicating that the current parameters are the ones
in the actively selected memory.
Recalling from Memory
•
Press and hold the memory recall button (F) for 3
seconds until the memory location display indicator
changes to reversed text indicating the stored
parameters are actively recalled.
•
When memory parameters are actively selected, the
display indicator will remain reversed until a welding
parameter is changed with the encoder knob or until
the memory location button is pressed to scroll to a
different memory location.
Local/Remote Operation
The V310-T AC/DC, when in TIG mode, will
automatically sense when the machine has a remote
device plugged into the 6 pin MS-type connector-like a
remote pedant or a foot amptrol. If a remote device is
plugged in, the machine will automatically function in
remote mode. If no device is plugged in, the machine
will function in local mode.
In remote mode, the operation of the machine is slightly
different depending on whether the remote device is a
foot amptrol or a remote pendant. To let the machine
know what type of device is plugged in,the operator must
select the appropriate device from the trigger mode
button (See Trigger mode descriptions above for details
on the difference). In stick mode the second button on
the control panel selects local or remote operation
manually. This is required so that the user does not
need to detach a foot amptrol to use the machine in
STICK mode.
