CHAPTER 1: DESCRIPTION

SERIES 300 FAST RESPONSE WELD HEAD SYSTEM

990-115

1-5

System Controls

The front control panel of the 350C Weld Head Control is illustrated in figure 1-3. The only other system
controls are the POWER switch on the rear panel of the Weld Head Control, and the power circuit breaker
on the power supply.

Figure 1-3. Weld Head Control Front Panel Controls

The eight-line liquid crystal displays provide essentially the same functions on the Weld Head Control and
the Power Supply. Alphanumeric screens allow you to program up to 128 different weld force profiles and
monitor alarm conditions. Graphic screens allow you to fine-tune the time, follow-up force and weld energy
relationships. Additionally, on-line help screens allow you to interrogate the system for quick look-up
information about installation and operation issues.

NOTE:

The functions of the key clusters on the HF2 Power Supply and the Weld Head Control are

identical. So, the following descriptions of the key clusters apply to them both. The HF25 and UB25 Power
Supplies are slightly different; you should refer to the user manual for your power supply.

Data Keypad

This cluster of twelve numerical keys enters numerical
information. Use the keys to enter values directly to the screens
instead of incrementally with the keys. Use [.] to key in
decimal values. Press [ENTER] after keying in data to complete
the entry.
