OPERATION (USER MODE)
VRTEX® ENGAGE™
GAS SETUP SCREEN
On this screen, the user selects the gas mixture and gas flow rate.
See Figure B.28. The correct gas mixture and flow rate must be
entered according to the tolerance editor. If acceptable values are
not entered, this will be indicated on a later screen and the user may
have to go back and change the selection on this screen.
To select the gas mixture, touch the desired icon. The available gas
mixtures are shown on the gas set-up screen below.
To select the gas flow rate, touch the desired arrow icon or the gas
flow meter.
POLARITY, WIRE FEED SPEED AND VOLTAGE
SCREEN
Change the polarity by selecting the appropriate virtual polarity icon.
The user can select from AC, DC+ or DC-. The user changes the wire
feed speed by rotating the virtual wire feed speed dial. The display
above the dial indicates the setting. The user changes the voltage
by rotating the voltage dial. The display above the dial indicates
the setting. Some processes may not allow the user to pre-set the
voltage, in which case the display will be blank. See Figure B.29.
WELD MACHINE SETTINGS SCREEN
The user must enter the proper welding procedure and process
settings, including wire feed speed, amperage, voltage and polarity
where applicable. See Figure B.30. As in the gas setup screen, the
user must enter values within the acceptable range as governed by
the tolerance editor. If not, they will be notified by the incorrect weld
setting screen when the green check settings icon is selected. See
Figures B.30 and B.31. Refer to the supplied ‘Welding Specification
Procedure (WPS) Book’ to obtain the correct weld settings.
