| Software notes | — | As a step-regulated transformer welding machine, it features no management software or digital interface. Parameter control is purely electromechanical via selectors on the front panel, providing 10 positions for voltage adjustment along with potentiometers for manual regulation of wire feed speed and spot-welding time. |
