13.Define the start level time and amperage as desired.

When properly used, start level eases arc starting by allowing the use of an amperage value that is higher than initial amperage for a short length of time.

The range for start level time is 0.0 to 15.0 seconds, in increments of 0.1 seconds. The range for start level amperage varies from 2.0 to 400 amperes, in incre- ments of 1.0 amperes.

19.Pressing Parameter Select toggles the display be- tween pulse mode On and pulse mode Off. Three possibilities exist at this point, as follows:

Pulse mode On is desired and pulses are to be defined as time spent in peak current and background current (see Step 20).

Pulse mode On is desired and pulses are to be defined as a frequency, with peak current defined as a percent- age of the total period (see Step 20).

Pulse mode Off is desired (see Step 21).

20.To define pulse mode On, proceed as follows:

a.Be sure the desired means of defining pulse mode has been selected according to Section 2-4.

b.Use the Parameter Select push button to select pulse mode On, and press Right/Increase to ad- vance to the next display while ”On” is displayed.

c.If pulses are being defined as time values, go to Section 5-2B.

If pulses are being defined as a frequency, go to Section 5-2C.

21.To define pulse mode Off, proceed as follows:

a.Use the Parameter Select push button to select pulse mode Off, and press Right/Increase while ”Off” is displayed. The display shows:
