4T Latch Mode

This mode of welding is mainly used for long welding runs to reduce operator fatigue. In this mode the

operator can press and release the torch trigger and the output will remain active. To deactivate the power

source, the trigger switch must again be depressed and released, thus eliminating the need for the operator

to hold the torch trigger.

Note that when operating in GTAW (TIG mode), the power source will remain activated until the selected

downslope time has elapsed.
