HARDWARE SPECIFICS:
VR GMAW/FCAW GUN
The VR GMAW/FCAW gun should be placed on the round gun holder on the right side when not in use. The VR gun has a trigger that is used during the simu- lation of GMAW and FCAW processes to initiate and maintain the simulated welding arc.
VR GMAW/FCAW GUN
CAUTION
Store gun as shown below to
avoid damage.
VR GMAW/FCAW GUN (Properly Stored)
In order to strike an arc with the VR SMAW device, strike or tap the tip of the rod (of the VR SMAW device) on the coupon being welded. To break the arc, move the VR SMAW device rod away from the work piece.
CAUTION
Do not try to strike the arc with excessive force, as the arc start is distance based. Excessive force may result in damage to the VR SMAW device.
The angle of the rod can be changed by squeezing the clamp of the VR SMAW device. This allows the rod to be moved into the 45 or 90 degree position. Once the rod is at one of these angles, release the clamp. The rod should now be fixed in that position. Do not change the rod angle while the rod is extending or retracting.

VR SMAW DEVICE
The VR SMAW device has a rod representing an elec- trode. This rod retracts when a virtual arc is struck to simulate the electrode burning off during the virtual welding process. When the virtual electrode is fully used up, the rod will stop retracting. When the user presses “new stick” in the orange actions menu button, the rod extends out, simulating that a new electrode was put into the VR SMAW device. When not in use, the VR SMAW device should be placed in the VR SMAW holder on the left side of the VR weld machine.
