2. MMA welding

This function is used to set the starting current.

Setting range: 0 - 200%

Operating principle:
At the start of the welding process, the welding current is reduced (SoftStart) or increased (HotStart) for 0.5 seconds, depending on the setting.
The change is shown as a percentage from the set welding current.

The duration of the starting current can be changed in the Setup menu using the Hti parameter, see Parameters for MMA welding  on page (→) .

Setting the starting current:

1   Press the setting value button until
   the SoftStart / HotStart indicator lights up

2   Turn the adjusting dial until the desired value is reached

• Power source is ready for welding

• 100%    Starting current = 100 A    Function deactivated
• 80%    Starting current = 80 A    SoftStart
• 135%    Starting current = 135 A    HotStart
• 200%    Starting current = 180 A    HotStart (maximum current limit reached!)

Example of HotStart function

Features of SoftStart function:

• Reduced pore formation with certain electrode types

Features of HotStart function:

• Improved ignition properties, even when using electrodes with poor ignition properties
• Better fusion of the base material during the start-up phase, meaning fewer cold-shut defects
• Largely prevents slag inclusions

2. MMA welding

To obtain optimum welding results, it will sometimes be necessary to adjust the arc-force dynamic.

Setting range: 0 - 100 (corresponds to 0 - 200 A current increase)

Operating principle:
At the moment of droplet transfer or in the event of a short circuit, the amperage is briefly increased in order to obtain a stable arc.
If the rod electrode threatens to sink into the weld pool, this measure prevents the weld pool solidifying, as well as preventing a prolonged short-circuit of the arc. This largely prevents the rod electrode from sticking.

Setting the arc-force dynamic:

1   Press the setting value button until
   the arc-force dynamic indicator lights up

2   Turn the adjusting dial until the desired correction value is reached

• Power source is ready for welding

• Arc-force dynamic = 0
  • arc-force dynamic deactivated
  • soft, low-spatter arc
• Arc-force dynamic = 20
  • arc-force dynamic with 40 A current increase
  • harder, more stable arc
• Set welding current = 100 A / arc-force dynamic = 60
  • arc-force dynamic theoretically with 120 A current increase
  • actual increase is just 80 A as the maximum current limit has been reached!
