Examples of settings:
a) Balance dial is in position "0"
Neutral setting
b) Balance dial is in position "+5"
The positive half-waves are longer than the negative ones =
long cleaning phase but reduced penetration depth; in-
creased load on tungsten electrode - cap formed on elec-
trode tip is too large (Fig.7b)
c) Balance dial is in position "-5"
The negative half-waves are longer than the positive ones =
long penetration phase but reduced cleaning effect; tungs-
ten electrode is underloaded - no cap formed on electrode
tip (Fig. 7a)

ADJUSTMENT DIAL FOR DIAMETER OF
TUNGSTEN ELECTRODE (von 0 - 4,0mm)
a) AC-operation: (only MW 2600 / 2600 CEL / 3000)
For automatic formation of a spherical tip to the tungsten
electrode. Before starting to weld, briefly push the torch
trigger forward and then initiate the welding operation. A
spherical tip is then formed on the - pointed or blunt - tung-
sten electrode, as determined by the electrode-diameter
value set beforehand on dial
- If the torch trigger is not pushed forward, dial
to set the ignition current for the diameter of tungsten
electrode in question.
b) DC-operation:
- Is used to set the ignition current for the diameter of tung-
sten electrode in question.
When the machine is in the "Electrode" modes, adjustment
dial
is inactive.
SELECTOR BUTTON for TYPE OF CURRENT
(only on MW 2600 / 2600 CEL / 3000)
This is used for selecting the type of current required, and for
reversing the polarity with both TIG and ROD ELECTRODE
MANUAL WELDING.
At TIG mode

OVERTEMPERATURE INDICATOR
- If the unit is overloaded
- If the temperature has been reached on the primary heat
sink, on the secondary heat sink (see Fig.1)
MARK LED INDICATOR
- lights up when the monitoring function is activated
- this LED indicates that the AC voltage in the welding current
circuit does not exceed 48 V
TIG TORCH CONNECTION
- for connecting the GAS + CURRENT supply for the welding
torch at gas cooled units
- for connecting the WATER + CURRENT supply for the
welding torch at water cooled units
SOCKET with bayonet coupling
- as the earth cable connection point with TIG welding;
- as the connection either for the manual electrode cable or
the earth cable with manual electrode welding, depending
on the type of electrode used.
