TIG or MMA
Multi process knob for MMA and TIG
Choice of process Alternatives MMA welding or
TIG welding. MMA welding is chosen by turning
the switch into its top position. TIG welding
is chosen by turning the switch into one of the
four bottom settings.

Function of torch

• Two-stroke
• Welding is started by pressing down the torch
  trigger. Welding will continue until the trigger
  is released, after which slope down will begin.
  The machine can be reactivated during slope-down
  and gas post-flow.
• Four-stroke
• Welding is started by pressing down the torch
  trigger. Welding will continue after the trigger
  is released. The next press on the trigger
  activates slope down and interrupts the welding
  proces.
• In TIG welding it is possible to choose between
  two different ignition methods.

5
HF or LIFTIG?

• HF-ignition
• In this case of contact free ignition the
  Tungsten electrode does not touch the workpiece,
  but ignites by means of a high frequency spark
  (HF), when the torch trigger is activated.
• LIFTIG-ignition
• The Tungsten electrode must touch the workpiece
  in order to establish the arc. The torch trigger
  is activated, the Tungsten electrode is lifted
  away from the workpiece, and the arc is
  established.

6
AC/DC welding current

• Choice of voltage
• Generally speaking, an AC/DC welding machine,
  (double current machine) welds all materials.
• AC welding is chosen for welding in all materials
  containing aluminium. The principle is that the
  positive current removes the oxide membrane on
  the surface and the negative current gives
  penetration into the material.
• DC welding is used for all other materials such
  as stainless, copper and common steel.

7
With or without pulse

• It is possible to choose pulse welding in DC and
  AC mode
• DC welding without pulse is chosen, for which
  reason pulse parameters cannot be chosen.
• DC pulse welding is chosen.
• AC welding without pulse is chosen, for which
  reason pulse parameters cannot be chosen.
• AC pulse welding is chosen.

8
Operation

• Alternatives for setting the welding current
• Internal adjustment
• The control knob is used for setting the welding
  current.
• Adjustment of Dialog
• The current is set with the knob on the Dialog
  TIG torch. The maximum welding current is set
  with the knob on the control panel.
• External adjustment
• Current and parameter are set via a foot pedal.

9
AC time balance

• /- time balance
• In TIG welding with alternating current this
  function sets the cleaning effect.
• This function is a balance between the positive
  and the negative half period based on time,
  variable between 40 and 80. The percentage is
  the share of the negative half period of a full
  period.
• The balance will ensure a suitable cleaning zone
  around the weld pool.

10
Adjustment of pulse time

• Pulse time
• States the period of time in which pulse current
  is used for welding.
• Pulse current is identical with the set welding
  current.
• Time can be set between 0.1 and 2 secs.

11
Base current

• Base current
• Base current is set as a percentage value between
  1 and 99 of the set welding current, however,
  not under A.

12
Pause time

• Pause time
• Pause time states the period of time in which
  base current is used for welding. Time can be set
  between 0.1 and 2 secs.

13
Gas post-flow

• Gas post-flow
• The time from extinction of the arc until
  interruption of the gas supply.
• Used to protect the weld pool and the Tungsten
  electrode and to cool the torch.
• Time can be set between 1 and 30 secs.

14
Slope-down time

• Slope-down time
• When welding is interruped with the torch, the
  machine enters slope-down. In this phase the
  current is lowered from the set welding current
  to the stop Amp.
• The duration of this phase is called slope-down
  time.
• Time can be set between 0 and 10 secs.

15
Adjustment of current

• Adjustment of welding current
• Welding current is adjusted via the control knob,
  unless minor remote control is chosen. When the
  machine is not in use, the set current is shown
  in the display, whereas during welding the actual
  welding current is shown.
• In connection with pulse welding the display will
  show pulse current and base current respectively.
  When shifts between welding current and base
  current become faster than it is possible to
  perceive with the eye, the display will show the
  average value.

16
Connection for gas

• Quick release fitting for protection gas
• Connection of the quick release fitting on
  Migatronics air-cooled TIG welding hoses.
• The quick release fitting is a press-in coupling
  which is released by a small press with two
  fingers.

17
Connection forremote control

• Multi plug for foot pedal
• Via the 7-poled Pilot plug on the front it is
  possible to connect foot pedal for start and stop
  of welding and adjustment of welding current.

18
Current connection

• and - pole for welding current
• Connection to both TIG and MMA welding with a 25
  mm2 dinse plug.
• Polarity for TIG welding is minus polarity on the
  torch.
• In AC welding also the minus connection for the
  torch is used.
• In MMA welding it is possible to use AC or DC
  either with plus or minus pole on the electrode
  (follow suppliers instructions).

19
Mains voltage error

• Mains voltage error
• The LED lights red in case of over voltage or
  under voltage.
• The LED is lit for five seconds after rectifying
  the error to ensure that also short errors are
  registered by the user.
• The machine is designed to stand mains voltage
  variations of /- 10.

20
Overheating

• Overheating
• The LED lights yellow if welding is interrupted
  by too high temperature in the machine.
• The machine will reconnect automatically after a
  short cooling period.

21
Voltage indicator

• Welding voltage
• The LED lights for safety reasons if the
  electrode or the TIG torch is under voltage.

22
Display

• Green digital display
• The display shows the set welding current before
  welding and the actual welding current during the
  welding process.
• Actual welding current may vary a little compared
  to the pre-set welding current, which is mainly
  caused by type of electrode and length of the arc.
