There are three switches on the lower facia that allow;
1
st
switch clamps the part.
2
nd
switch upsets the part without welding.
3
rd
switch is for timer only and does not isolate the machine.
Basic setting and set up:
1) The timer allows for the selection of 7 individual programs depending on the setup of
the controller.
2) Squeeze time; keep this time setting short between 2 and 6 cycles.
3) Upslope; 1 to 3 cycles to minimize sparking during welding.
4) Weld one; allow sufficient welding to achieve a cosmetically good weld without
excessive expulsion of weld area.
Please note* weld time must always be longer that the
upslope time.
5) Heat one; this adjusts the percentage of weld heat going into the weld area as a
percentage of the total machine output. Too much heat and the part will disintegrate
during welding, to little will cause a cold weld and the joint will not fuse properly and
will break.
6) All other setting set to “0” zero. Only hold is set to 5 to allow the weld to dry in the
weld area.
