Normal Operation
Section 3
mode this feature does not apply - errors will always be reported.
If this feature is on, all current under & over errors (errors 5, 13, 14, 15 & 17 See Trouble Shooting pages) will be reported
in the display. For example, if a current of 250 amps is selected and 280 amps is delivered this would trigger the 10% over
current error. The display would lock up and the
reset button would need to be pressed to clear that weld output. If
the reporting feature is off then this example would not have generated an error and the operator would be able to continue
without interruption.
The errors are calculated in the following manner:
If the set time is greater than 0.150 seconds then the error reporting limits are ±10%.
If the set time is less than or equal to 0.150 seconds then the error reporting limits are ±25%.
When using short weld times (less than or equal to 0.150 seconds), the mechanical time variations of weld tool lift become
more significant relative to the weld time. This can cause wide variations in delivered weld current. As times shorten more
(less than or equal to 0.90 seconds) control may not be able to stay within 25% all of the time. Error reporting may cause
unnecessary interruption to the operators work flow. Therefore, error reporting may be turned off.
SeT USeR CODe / UNLOCKING feATUReS
Starting at the home screen press the
scroll down button 7 times to reach
the set user code menu. This menu is always locked. To change the user code
this feature MUST be unlocked. To unlock this screen you must enter the user
password.
The first key press must be the button. This tells the unit to expect a
password. The display will show a ÄÅ key symbol to indicate that it is ready to
be unlocked. The factory default password is 33333. Press the key numbered 3
(labeled on the bottom) a total of 5 times. This unlocks all screens. NOTE: The screens relock automatically when the
home button is pressed or when the time out returns the unit to the home screen.
Once this feature is unlocked, a new user code can be entered. First, press the
button to indicate a password is being entered. This must be followed by any
other 5 numbered buttons (number labels are below the keys) in any sequence.
The menu will prompt the user to reenter the same password to verify the
password is correct (Again, the code key must be pressed first). Once the
new password is confirmed the code is changed. DO NOT FORGET YOUR
CODE. If the code is lost there is NO way to recover it. In the event that the
user code is lost the entire system memory can be erased to reset the password
to the factory default (See trouble shooting).
