NOTE!
A long press on the buttons is more than 3 seconds. A short press is less than 3
seconds.
When any of the screens SET or MEASURED is shown, press long on OK to open
the extended WELDING MENU. The information on the display depends on the
authorisation level. The authorisation level is shown with an icon in the upper right
corner of the display, and explained in section "Authorisation profiles".
2.2 Startup
1. The software version is shown on the control panel during startup. The control panel
automatically detects the welding head during startup.
NOTE!
The welding head is identified by the welding head cable. If the cable is
replaced, use ESAB original spare part to maintain the feature.
2. If no digital power source is attached, a menu for selecting type of analogue power
source is shown.
Previously used analogue power source is shown if on/off switch is in position II. Press
any button within 3 seconds to open the menu and change analogue power source
using the buttons Up/Down and OK.
If no button is pressed, the startup will proceed with no changes on power source.
