The machine is ready to start.
The specification of the current transition in percent can be problematic under certain circumstances
if procedures from other machines must be transferred with an incompatible data format and these
machines are programmed with a slope in seconds instead of percent.
The field for input of the slope time can be switched from percent to seconds, see also "Special key-
board commands" (chap. 8.17, p. 63).
X
To switch the slope time specification from % to sec (and vice versa), press the "S", "L" and "O"
keys (for SLOPE) on the virtual keyboard.
X
Confirm the message (see Fig. 17) by pressing the rotary knob.
The next time the machine is started, the % values corresponding to the seconds appear.

Adjusting pulse times
Pulse times in most application cases: 0.05 to 0.5 seconds.
Auto programming calculates the pulse times from the wall thickness. Adjusting the pulse times affects the seam ap-
pearance: A shorter pulse time yields a finer scale.
1. In the main menu, select "
Manual/Adjust program-
ming
" > "
Adjust parameters
".
2. Select the desired sector.
The respective selected sector is highlighted in color to the
right in the display. The angular degrees of this sector is
specified. An image of the seam scale appears below the
process graphic.
3. Select, highlight, adjust and save the "
HP time
" and
"
LP time
" parameters.
4. Press softkey 1 ("
Weld
") or softkey 2 ("
Test
").
The machine is ready to start.

Press softkey 4 "Apply value" to apply all the parameters such as amount of electricity, pulse times or speeds in all
the subsequent sectors.
