1 Balance/DIG Control
Balance Control (AC GTAW):
Control changes the AC output
1
square wave. Rotating the control
towards 10 provides deeper pene-
tration. Rotating the control towards
0 provides more cleaning action of
the workpiece.
When the control is in the Balanced
position, the wave shape provides
equal penetration and cleaning
action.
Application:
When welding on oxide forming ma-
terials such as aluminum or magne-
sium, excess cleaning is not neces-
sary. To produce a good weld, only
a minimal amount, approximately a
0.10 in (2.5mm) of etched zone
Arc
along the weld toes is required.
Set control to 3 and adjust as nec-
essary. Joint configuration, set-up,
process variables, and oxide thick-
ness may affect setting.
NOTE: Arc rectification can occur
when welding above 200 amps
and/or while welding with helium
gas. If this condition occurs, in-
creasing the Balance control to-
wards maximum penetration, may
help to restabilize the arc.
DIG Control (AC And DC SMAW):
When set at 0, short-circuit amper-
age at low arc voltage is the same
as normal welding amperage.
When setting is increased, short-
circuit amperage at low arc voltage
increases. Set control at 2 and ad-
just as necessary. Joint configura-
tion, set-up, and process variables
may affect setting.
Application:
Control helps arc starting or making
vertical, or overhead welds by in-
creasing amperage at low arc volt-
age, and reduces electrode sticking
while welding.
