according to the type of parameter.  The minimum and maximum 
limits of each parameter are described in the following table.  

* When the pulse function is used, that is when the IMPULSE 
NUMBER is other than 0, the welding time should not exceed 25 
periods.  If this condition is not observed, an error is signaled. 
 
In this way all the parameters are set to the desired value.  Please 
notice that it is not necessary to press any push-button to confirm 
the set value, as this is automatically stored up after the 
adjustment.  When programming step is over, it is possible to use 
the welder without previously confirming the set or the stored data.

PROGRAMMING THE WELDING CONTROL UNIT 

Straight after the control unit is switched on, the display shows the 
program version; after a few seconds the TE-90 equipment is set 
in a waiting condition enabling the operator either to carry out the 
programming or any welding process.  The control unit is 
programmed through the regulation of all parameters describing 
the welding cycle; select the parameters and set the desired 
values one by one.  (See the relevant paragraph to better 
understand the meaning of each parameter.) 

TE-90 is a microprocessor welding control unit for single-phase resistance welders.  The welding control unit is used to control the welder 
parts and, in particular, the thyristors adjusting the welding current.  The working cycle carried out by the TE-90 is described through the 
programming parameters.  The TE-90 can be used for both manual and pneumatic-operated welders. 

The parameters are marked with international symbols which are 
listed on the left side of the control unit.  Each parameter is 
combined with a pilot light.  Select the parameters by means of 
push-buttons

     

     

and 

 

     

, the pilot light corresponding to the 

selected parameter lights on and its value is shown on the display. 

Use the WELD/NO WELD function to carry out any test cycle 

without welding current.  By means of 
the here shown proper key, it is possible 
to enable or disable the welding current.  
When the light is on, the control unit is 
set to WELD and it carries out standard 
welding cycles.  When the light is off, the 

complete test cycles without welding current, even though all the 
time-relevant parameters are preserved. 
 
During the welding cycle the control unit shall display both the 
current function and the relevant value. 

Change the welding parameters value by means of push-buttons   

  

                   

 

and   

   

 

, thus increasing or decreasing the value shown on 

the display.  The parameters can be set to different values,
