NO WELD State
The WELD/NO WELD switch is in the NO WELD position. The power supply will execute any weld
schedule, but the capacitor bank will not be discharged and no welding current will flow.
FIRE State
The firing switch in the weld head has closed and the welding sequence is proceeding.
Weld Function Field
The power supply allows you program 15 weld schedules. Each schedule can use one of its three weld
functions. There are two versions of the basic and rollspot functions: one for an air actuated weld head and
the other for a manually actuated weld head. The repeat function only applies to an air actuated weld head.
