Weld data average
Without slopes / Entire weld
Default = Without slopes
This feature allows the user to change
how the weld data averages are
calculated:with or without the slope
phases in the beginning and in the end
of the weld.
This setting affects the calculation of the
averages for the following: welding
voltage (terminal and arc voltage), weld-
ing current, welding power and wire feed
speed.
Brightness
1...10 The control panel display brightness.
Date
Current date Date setting.
Time (24h)
Current time Time setting in 24h format.
Screensaver
OFF/1...120 min, step 1
Default = 5 min
The screensaver image is shown on dis-
play after the set time period. By default,
the Kemppi logo is shown. To change the
screensaver image, refer to "USB update"
on page64.
Cable calibration
(with MIG only)
Start/Cancel The date and time and the calibration
information of the previous calibration is
also shown.
Refer to "Calibrating welding cable" on
page35 for cable calibration.
Water cooling
OFF/Auto/ON
Default = Auto
When ON is selected, the coolant is cir-
culated continuously, and when Auto is
selected, the coolant is circulated only
during welding.
VRD
(with MMA only)
Always ON
(with MMA only)
Voltage reduction device (VRD) reduces
the open-circuit voltage to maintain
below a certain voltage value.
Backup
(Selection) This allows the settings to be saved on a
connected USB memory stick.
Restore
(Selection) This allows the settings to be restored
from a connected USB memory stick.
Factory reset
Reset/Cancel
Default = Cancel
This resets the machine to factory set-
tings.
3.3.9 Control panel: Applying welding programs
To select and apply a MIG welding process and program, a corresponding memory channel must be created.
When creating the memory channel for a particular MIG welding process, the selection of welding programs can be nar-
rowed down based on the available MIG welding processes: Manual, 1-MIG, MAX Speed (optional), MAX Position
(optional) and MAX Cool (optional).
Use the welding program that is in accordance with your welding setup (e.g. welding wire and gas properties).
