The welding power source can be optionally triggered by the start welding signal from the wire feeder. The
signal occurs via pins 1+2 (X2).
6.4.4 4-cycle and interval with torch for controlling the power source via the feed on page EN-18
If welding is started via pins 1+2, the wire feed and welding process can both be started using rocker T2
on the welding torch. This mode is recommended for automated welding as the wire feed and the welding
process can be started via one signal.
For manual welding, the welding process is started using the separate torch trigger.
