| Software notes | The system is based on a proprietary interface featuring a built-in 5-inch TFT screen. The firmware manages preset synergic programs (up to 27 lines) for various combinations of wire, gas, and thicknesses, facilitating the setup of welding parameters via a single knob control. It includes a memory function to save and recall up to 10 customized jobs. There is no wireless connectivity or external cloud interaction, nor does it support PC or smartphone software. All functionalities remain strictly manageable from the control panel of the welder. | Features a 7-inch color LCD display with an intuitive interface. It includes Ready.Set.Weld technology for guided setup, ArcFX for real-time visual feedback of the arc, and memory recall to easily save and access up to 20 custom weld parameter presets. |
