OPERATION
MAX
SA™
10 CONTROLLER
TOUCH SENSE
The Touch Sense option, when enabled, allows the operator to
feed the wire forward until it touches the workpiece. When con-
tact to the work is made, the wire will stop and the flux hopper
(if used) will activate to put flux around the wire and fill the flux
feed system. The flux hopper will stay active until the Feed
Forward button is released.
If the Touch Sense is enabled the Power Source output is ON
as long as the Feed Forward button is held. Avoid touching
any portion of the weld circuit while feeding down.
If the Touch Sense option is disabled, the wire is “cold” during
the Feed Forward time. It will not stop when it touches the work
and the flux hopper will not activate.
LOCKOUT / SECURITY
The MAXsa™ 10 can be configured to prevent the operator from
changing selected User Interface panel controls. By default, the
welder will be able to change the weld mode, all relevant wave
controls and all relevant start and end options.
Note that when an option is locked, its value can still be moni-
tored. For example, if start and end options are locked, the
welder can still press the right Mode Select Panel Pushbutton
and see the value set for Start Time. If the welder attempts to
change its value, a message will briefly appear on the Mode
Select Panel indicating "MSP Option is LOCKED
The lockout features are only available through the use of
Power Wave Manager.
