SECTION 7 − REMOTE PROGRAM SELECT
.
There are two methods to remotely change programs.
Method 1
In the auxiliary menu, turn remote program select off (see Section 6-10 Remote Program Select). Then connecting Terminal Block TB2 Remote Pro-
gram (see Section 5-7 Terminal Block TB2 Connection Information) to Terminal Block TB1 Remote Common (see Section 5-6 Terminal Block TB1
Connection Information) will increment the program. Once the last program is reached, connecting Terminal Block TB2 Remote Program to Terminal
Block TB1 Remote Common will change the program to the first program.
Example - If the number of programs is set to 4 (see Section 6-10 Number of Programs) and locks are disabled, then repeatedly connecting and discon-
necting Terminal Block TB2 Remote Program to Terminal Block TB1 Remote Common will change the programs in the following way.
Program1 −>Program 2 −>Program 3 −>Program 4 −> Program1
.
If locks are enabled (see Section 6-10 Voltage Range Lock or Amperage Range Lock or Wire Feed Speed Range Lock) then the program will
be incremented to the next locked program.
Method 2
In the auxiliary menu, turn remote program select on (see Section 6-10) Remote Program Select. Then one of 4 programs can be selected by connect-
ing to the interface board RC24 and RC26 as shown in the following table.

If locks are enabled (see Section 6-10 Voltage Range Lock or Amperage Range Lock or Wire Feed Speed Range Lock) and an unlocked program
is selected, a program select error is displayed until a locked program is selected or the remote program select feature is turned off.
If method 2 is used, method 2 will automatically disable method 1.
SECTION 8 − MOTOR TYPES
.
For the HDC 1500DX to work properly, the motor used must match the motor selected.
The motor is selected in the Auxiliary Menu (see Section 6-10 on Wire Drive Motor Type).

When using a motor With a Tachometer, the Wire Speed shown is the speed of the wire in either inches−per−minute or meters−per−minute (see
Section 6-6). The tachometer provides feedback to regulate and record wire speed.
When using the RAD 400 Without Tachometer or RAD 780 Without Tachometer, the Wire Speed shown is neither a wire speed in inches−per−
minute nor a wire speed in meters−per−minute, but rather a percentage of the power provided to the motor. Without a tachometer the HDC
1500DX is unable to either regulate or record wire speed.
