controllable than with constant welding current in difficult situations (particularly,
in difficult positions and when bridging large gaps) and when welding thin

High-frequency pulses: With pulse frequencies from 10 Hz to 15 kHz
The procedure of welding current corresponds to conventional pulsing. However

For the conversion to pulse frequency in the various pulse times t

This means that the current during welding has the value of current I1 for 0.01
seconds (=10 ms) than it has the value of current l
and then it goes back to the value for current l
Pulsing with such short times results in a slimmer arc and a deeper penetration.
Due to the very quick changes, the digital display always shows the average
value. Thus, with a welding current l

Dual current regulation:
General functional operation:
The dual current regulation makes it possible for the user to use a 2 button torch
with 2 different pre-set currents. This allows you to switch between the two
values I
and I
. The switch is performed by pressing torch button 2. Examples of

switches:
The changeover to I2 takes place for as long as torch button 2 is pressed. When
torch button 2 is released, a changeover to I1 occurs immediately
From high current to low or vice versa, for example, when changing the
welding position.
