Parameter Description
ARC CONTROL
This parameter provides
a suitable short circuit
current in STICK
welding to improve
electrode sticking and
arc stability.
HOT START
This parameter operates
in STICK weld mode
and is used to improve
the start characteristics
for stick electrodes. e.g.
low hydrogen
electrodes. It sets the
peak start current on
top of the
(WELD)
current.
DC (A) Weld Current
(Amperage) - when lit
parameter knob sets the
STICK and TIG
WELD current.
DC (V) Weld Voltage (Volt) –
when lit parameter knob
sets the MIG voltage.
Parameter Description
Contactor ON/OFF
Contactor operation in
MIG Mode only.
Operation
PANEL/REMOTE
Selects in operation: Panel
or Remote.
INDUCTANCE
This parameter, similar to
the ARC CONTROL in
STICK mode, allows for the
adjustment of the dynamic
property of the arc. As the
inductance is increased the
output voltage may need to
be adjusted to achieve the
desired weld
characteristics.
The SAVE/LOAD buttons
are used to save and
retrieve a total number of 5
programs into the
Transmig 400 i memory.
The Save/Load buttons
must be depressed for 3
seconds to store settings.
