Disable Welding on
Weld Error
OFF ON
OFF
X
Turn this on to disable welding when a weld error
occurs or when a weld is out of specified weld
energy\drop time range. Flashes ‘WELD ERROR!’
and requires a password to continue. Password is
123456 by default, but can be changed to any number
up to 9 digits. Use lock mode 2 or 3 to set the
password.
F34
Drop Time Tolerance
0 to 1000
100
ms
This defines the tolerance allowed from target weld
drop time for determining good/bad weld.
F35
Weld Energy Tolerance
1 to 20
10
%
This defines the tolerance allowed from target weld
energy for determining good/bad weld.
F36
Process Monitor Error
Code on Failed Weld
OFF ON
OFF
X
When enabled, an error code is given when the weld
is out of tolerance.
F37
Pulse Cleaning Enable
OFF ON
OFF
X
When enabled, the weld current will pulse high
current and low current before the weld.
F38
Pulse Cleaning
Threshold Voltage
0.00 to 50.00
30.00
Volts
Threshold voltage to stop pulsing and begin the
main weld. When voltage is less than this value, it
terminates pulsing and starts the weld.
F39
Pulse Cleaning
Maximum Pulses
1 to 36
4
Pulses
Maximum number of pulses before starting main
weld.
F40
Pulse Cleaning Time to
Subtract for Each Pulse
0 to 500
10
ms
Time to remove from the main weld time per pulse
done prior to the weld.
F41
Passing Weld Counter
0 to 4.3B
0
Welds
When process monitor is used, this holds a count of
‘passing’ welds. Hold the time down arrow to reset.
F42
Failed Weld Counter
0 to 4.3B
0
Welds
When process monitor is used, this holds a count of
‘failed’ welds. Hold the time down arrow to reset.
F43
Diagnostic Data
# Phases, PWM AVG,
ABORT code, Capacitor
imbalance, or Duty Cycle
# Phases
X
This gives extra diagnostic data after each weld. If
the power unit is at the maximum output in voltage
and current, PWM AVG will be 100%.
