To adjust settings:
| 1. | Go to the Settings view. |
| 2. | Turn the control knob (1) to browse through the settings groups and parameters. |
| 3. | Select a parameter to be adjusted or changed by pressing the control knob button (1). |
| 4. | Adjust or change the setting by turning the control knob (1). |
| 5. | Close the parameter setting by pressing the control knob button (1). |
|
Some of the settings are e.g. current mode and welding process specific and are visible or not visible in the settings menu accordingly. |
Common welding settings:
| Parameter | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Welding process | TIG / MMA (Default = TIG) | Selecting a welding process changes automatically to the last active channel for the selected process. |
| Current limit min | TIG: 2 A / MMA: 8 A, step 1 A * | |
| Current limit max | TIG: power source's nominal value MMA: power source's max. MMA current, step 1 A * |
|
| Remote control mode | OFF / Remote (Default = OFF) | When a remote control is selected, the welding current adjustment on the control panel is disabled. |
| Remote control min | Min = “Current limit min”, Max = “Current limit max” | |
| Remote control max | Min = “Current limit min”, Max = “Current limit max” | |
| Wireless remote | Pairing starts automatically when selected | New pairing information replaces the old information. Pairing status is shown as the settings value. |
TIG settings:
| Parameter | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Lift TIG current | 5 A ... 40 A / Auto, step 1 A (Default = Auto = 10 A) | |
| Slight upslope | OFF / ON (Default = OFF) | |
| TIG antifreeze | OFF / ON (Default = OFF) |
MMA settings:
| Parameter | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Welding current | Min/Max = Normal welding current limits | |
| Hot start | -10 ... +10, step 1 (Default = 0) | |
| Arc force | -10 ... +10, step 1 (Default = 0) | |
| MMA antifreeze | OFF / ON (Default = OFF) | |
| VRD mode | OFF / ON (Default = OFF) | This setting can be locked so that the user cannot change it. In the equipment models where the VRD mode is locked permanently to ON (e.g. AU model), the VRD option is still visible in the settings, but it cannot be changed. |
| Arc break | 50 % ... 100 %, step 10 % (Default = 90 %) | 100 % setting uses all of the voltage reserve enabling the longest arc possible. |
System settings:
| Parameter | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Brightness | 10 % ... 100 %, step 1 % (Default = 100 %) | |
| Weld data time | 1 s ... 10 s, step 1 s (Default = 5 s) | |
| Screen saver | Default = Kemppi logo | An alternative screen saver image can be used. For more information, refer to Screen saver. |
| Date | Date setting (DD/MM/YYYY) | |
| Time (24h) | Time setting (HH:MM) | |
| Language | Language setting | |
| Show Weld Assist | ON / OFF (Default = ON) | |
| Factory reset... | Cancel / Start (Default = Cancel) | Settings item that activates the factory reset to restore factory settings on the device. Once the factory reset is complete, the power source must be restarted manually. |
* Current range adjustable by welder in TIG welding:
| • | 2 A ... 305 A, 1 A step |
| • | Default = Nominal value of the power source. |
* Current range adjustable by welder in MMA welding:
| • | 8 A ... 305 A, 1 A step |
| • | Default = MMA maximum current of the power source. |
