1 INTRODUCTION
ARISTO 2000 is one of the most practical welding power sources on the market.
In order to get the maximum benefit from your welding equipment we recommend
that you read this manual carefully.
You will find that there are many features to improve your work and make it easier.
All settings are made using the PUA 1 controller.
You will quickly find this very easy to use. To help you find the sections of the manual
that are of special interest see the following:
Section 1: Introduction and basics
Sections 2--5: MIG/MAG, MMA, TIG and arc-- air gouging, settings directly
related to these parameters.
Sections 6--8: Measured value display, using the memory and quick settings.
Sections 9--10: Auxiliary functions and appendix.

1.2 Using the controller
The controller can be said to consist of two units; the working memory and the
weld data memory.
COLLECT
WELD DATA
MEMORY
STORE
The working memory is used to store a complete set of welding parameters, which
can then be saved in the weld data memory.
WORKING
MEMORY
The welding process is always controlled by the contents of the working memory.
This also makes it possible to download a set of welding parameters from the weld
data memory to the working memory.
Note that the working memory always contains the last set of welding parameters
that were used, in other words the working memory is never empty or “initialised“.

1.5 Keys
By using the cursor keys you can move the cursor to different lines in
the display.
Pressing the menu key always brings you back to the main menu.
The plus/minus keys are used to increase (+) or decrease (--) the value of
a setting.
The two plus/minus keys are each marked with their own symbol. Most settings can
be entered with either the plus or minus key, but certain settings must be made with
the key marked or the key marked (the symbols are visible in the display).
Pressing a key rapidly increases or decreases a setting in small steps. If the key is
held down for longer the size of the steps increases.
Soft keys
The five keys in a row under the display have
a variety of functions, these are “soft
keys“, i.e. they can have different functions
depending on which menu you are using. The
current functions of these keys are shown by
the text in the bottom line of the display
(when a function is active this is shown by a
white dot alongside the text).

1.6 Settings in general
There are three main types of settings:
S Settings with numerical values
S Settings with fixed options
S Settings of the type ON/OFF or YES/NO
1.6.1 Numerical settings
To set a numerical value you use either the plus or minus key to increase or
decrease the existing setting.
-- 7 --bu10d12e
1.6.2 Settings with fixed options
Certain settings are made by selecting an alternative from a list. T he list might look
like this:
MIG/MAG
MMA
TIG
CARBON, ArcAir
Here the cursor is positioned on the line for MIG/MAG. By pressing the ENTER key
now you would select the MIG/MAG option.
If instead you wanted to choose another option then you would move the cursor to
the chosen line by moving up or down using the cursor keys . Then you press
the ENTER key.
If you wanted to exit the list without making a selection you would simply press the
QUIT key.
For some settings there are so many options that they cannot all be displayed at the
same time. An arrow at the top or bottom of the list indicates that more optio ns will
become visible if you scroll up or down using the cursor keys.
1.6.3 ON/OFF or YES/NO settings
With certain functions you can switch the setting to ON or OFF, or to YES or NO. The
synergic function in MIG/MAG and MMA welding is an example of such a function.
ON/OFF or YES/NO settings can be selected in either of two ways:
You can select ON or OFF or YES or NO from a list of options as described above.
Or you can use the plus/minus keys to select ON/OFF or YES/NO.
S + (plus) = ON or YES
S --(minus)=OFForNO
1.7 ENTER and QUIT

2 MIG/MAG welding
2.1 The expression “wire“
In MIG/MAG welding you use an electrode that is wound on a reel (or drum). In this
manual this type of electrode is always referred to as wire.
2.2 Synergic welding
Each combination of wire type, wire diameter and gas mixture requires its own
unique combination of wire feed speed and voltage (arc length) in order to produce a
stable arc. ARISTO 2000 has several pre--programmed “ synergic lines“.
Once you have chosen the pre-- programmed synergic line that matches your choice
of wire type, wire diameter and gas mixture all you need to do is select a suitable
wire feed speed for the welding job. The voltage (arc length) automatically follows
the pre--programmed synergic line you have chosen, which makes it much easier to
find the right welding parameters quickly.
In MIG/MAG welding there is an option to use the welding power source in synergic
mode. This means that the user chooses a setting or value for:
S method
S wire type
S sh ielding gas
S wire diameter
On the basis of these basic settings and the selected value of wire feed speed a
microprocessor then selects appropriate values for the various welding parameters.
The values of these parameters are linked to the method you have chosen;
dip/spray or pulse. See also “Weld data settings“ under section 2.4.
It is also possible to weld with a combination of wire and shielding gas other than
those offered by the controller. This could however mean that the user will have to
set one or more parameters himself.
2.3 Basic settings
Basic settings are chosen from the controller’s main menu.
1. Welding process = MIG/MAG
2. Welding method
In the case of MIG/MAG welding you can choose between two different welding
methods.
S Dip/spray
S Short/Pulse
3. Wire type, shielding gas, wire size
The following tables show the combinations of wire type, shielding gas and wire
size that can be selected when the welding power source is in synergic mode.

2.4 Welding data settings
The following is an summary of the welding parameters that affect the welding
process when using MIG and MAG welding methods.
With the power source in synergic mode it is only necessary to set the wire feed
speed.
The voltage parameter may also be adjusted if required.
When the wire feed speed is adjusted the synergic control system automatically
adjusts certain other parameters to compensate. The parameters in italics remain
constant and are unaffected by changes in the wire feed speed.
Method DIP/SPRAY Method PULSING
S Wire feed speed S Wire feed speed
S Voltage S Voltage
S Inductance S Pulse current
S Control type S Pulse time
S Pulse frequency
S Background current
S Ka
S Ki
A table of parameter setting ranges is given in the APPENDIX see step 10.
2.5 Start and stop settings
The following settings affect the start and stop cycle dur ing MIG/MAG welding.
All the settings that affect the start/stop cycle and the way welding finishes are
described under the following headings.
Start settings Stop settings
S Gas pre--flow S Gas post--flow
S Creep start
S Hot start
S Hot start time
S Increase wire feed speed
(2 m/min unless stated
otherwise)
S Increase voltage (only
when not in synergic
mode)
S Burnback time
S Shake--off pulse (only for DIP/SPRAY
when not in synergic mode)
S Crater fill
S Crater fill time
S F inal wire feed speed
S F inal voltage (only when not in
synergic mode)
There are three different functions that are designed to meet special requirements at
the start and end of welding. These functions and auxiliary settings ar e made in the
start data menu and stop data menu.
bu10d12e
-- 1 2 --
Hot start
Hot start should be selected if you want a hotter arc at the start of the welding cycle
to prevent welding defects at the start of the weld.
Crater fill
The crater fill function makes it easier to avoid porosity, hot cracks and crater
cracking in the weld when you stop welding.
Creep start
The creep start function gives a lower wire feed speed and is suitable to use when
wanting to obtain the best possible start. The creep start speed is 50% of the set
wire feed speed. The function is activated on delivery.
TIP! The hot start, creep start and crater fill functions can be switched on or off using
the “soft keys“, see the section on “MIG/MAG configuration“ see step 9.2.4.2.
The start data and stop data menus are used to set the values for the following
parameters.
Gas pre-- and post--flow
The parameters gas pre--flow and gas post--flow specify the length of time that the
gas continues to flow before and after welding.
Burnback time
Burn--back time is used to adjust the electrode stick-- out at the end of welding.
2.6 Gas purge, cold wire feed and trigger latch
Like hot start and the others the following three functions can be controlled using the
soft keys. To find out how to do this see “MIG/MAG configuration“ see step 9.2.4.2.
Gas purge
The gas purge function is used to fill the gas hoses with shielding gas, or in order to
measure the gas flow rate. The gas flows when you press the key and stops when
you release it.
Cold wire feed
This function is used to feed wire out manually when fitting a new reel of wire. When
the key is pressed the wire is fed forward, and when it is released the wire stops.
Gun trigger mode
In MIG/MAG welding the torch switch can operate in two ways; with trigger latch off
or trigger latch on. Trigger latch off/on can be assigned to one of the soft keys.
The difference between having the tr igger latch off or on is illustrated in the following
diagrams, together with other functions in the start/stop cycle.

With the trigger latch off the gas pre--flow (if set) begins when the gun trigger is
pressed (1). The welding parameters then rise to their set values or (if set) Hot start
values.
When the gun trigger is released (2) the crater fill period begins. After this has
elapsed the welding parameters drop to back zero and the gas post --flow (if set)
finishes the welding sequence.
TIP! If the gun trigger is pressed in again during the crater fill period then you can
continue welding using the final crater fill parameters for as long as required (dotted
line). Crater fill can also be cut short by pressing and releasing the gun trigger
quickly during the crater fill period.

this has elapsed the values of the welding parameters drop to stop data.
The gas post--flow period begins when the gun trigger is released (4).
TIP! Crater fill stops when the gun trigger is released (4). If instead the trigger is held
in for longer then you can continue welding using the final crater fill parameters
(dotted line).
