TIG WELDING WITH SPOT-WELD
FUNCTION ON
1) Start up the welder by turning the
main switch to position I
2) Press the "weld mode"
button and set to
SPOT-WELD position
3) Press the SET/PROG
button until the corre-
sponding led starts
flashing
4) Turn the knob to set to
desired SPOT-WELD
TIME (0,5 ÷ 5 sec)
5) Now continue in the same way as
for normal TIG welding, setting the
various parameters as indicated in
the TIG WELD procedures
PULSATING TIG WELD
Pulsating TIG welding can be done in
two ways with RAINBOW 200 HF:
• ON PULSE
Pulsating TIG weld with manually set
weld parameters;
• EASY PULSE
Pulsating TIG weld with weld parame-
ters set in synergy.
NOTE: Pulsation is automatically cut off
while the current is on INITIAL and
FINAL.

TIG PULSATING WELDING WITH
CYCLE FUNCTION ON
2 different levels of pulsating current (I
and I
) can be used for welding with this
2
function. Here also welding can be done
in the two ways ON PULSE and EASY
PULSE.
It is also necessary to set the 2nd level
