3 SERIES TIG PENDANT MANUAL
Pressing the ADV selection button on the End Set-
tings screen present the Advanced Process screen
as shown in either
FIGURE 22 - Advanced Process
Setup or FIGURE 23 - Advanced Process with Hot
Wire
on pages 31 and 32.
This allows for setting end settings values for the wave
controls associated with the current weld mode. When
entering the Advance Process screen from the End
Settings screen, the symbol next to the sector icon is
an ‘E’ rather than a sector number.
Service Menu
The Service Screen allows for advanced welding op-
tions. There are four menus available in the Service
Screen: Version and Motion.
If a USB is installed the system allows for a system
snapshot to be taken from this screen.
Version
The version option of the service menu shows the user
information about the installed software and hardware,
see
FIGURE 32 - Service Screen Version.
Page
through the screen using the Next Selection button.
If a
USB is installed, the system allows for a snapshot to
be taken from this screen.
Motion
Allows the user to select certain motions and
behaviors of the weld system, see
FIGURE 33 -
Service Screen Motion
for available options.
Service Motion items are:
•
Steering Increment -
Allows the supervisor to set
the distance the oscillation will move for each click
of the steering knob.
•
Head Orientation -
To change the torch orientation
relative to the weld head the supervisor must also
change the system settings in addition to physically
inverting the weld head.
•
Torch Retract Distance -
Change how far the
torch retracts at the end of the weld. This allows for
greater retract distance when clearance is desired,
and less distance when restarting the weld needs to
be rapid.
•
WFS Test -
The APEX system does all calibrations
internally, however in order to comply with welding
standards, the system will produce the right amount
of wire for the proper length of time for verification.
•
Travel Test -
The APEX system does all calibrations
internally, however in order to comply with weld-
ing standards the system allows a travel test for the
specified distance for verification. The speed the
weld head will travel is determined by the program
parameters.
•
Step Over
– When turned ON, the steering knob
will control the travel motor rather than the oscillator
position. The distance travelled (in) and the speed
of the travel (in/min) for each steering knob click are
selectable by the user – see
Figure 34 – Service
Screen Step Over, page A-39.
