The WELD/NO WELD switch is in the NO WELD position. The 250DP will execute any weld
schedule, but the capacitor bank will not be discharged and no welding current will flow.

The firing switch in the weld head has closed and the welding sequence is proceeding.
Weld Function Field
The 250DP allows you program 127 weld schedules. Each schedule can use one of its three weld
functions. There are two versions of the basic and rollspot functions: one for an air actuated weld head
and the other for a manually actuated weld head. The repeat function only applies to an air actuated
weld head.
