A target can be created for each preset. Choose a preset, make a good
weld, and go to F32. While viewing F32, press and hold the "Lock" key
until the display says the target is saved for the backlit preset.
To clear a target stored in a preset, exit F mode by selecting I\t mode,
then press both the Lock button and the desired preset button
simultaneously.
To clear a target that doesn't have a preset association, exit any preset
by manually changing the time\current, exit F mode by selecting I\t
mode, then press both the Lock button and the Time-down arrow
simultaneously.
3.8.4 Notification options for bad welds
When a bad weld is detected, the User Panel icon for the weld plate (be-
low the gun icon) will turn red briefly after welding. It displays green
after a good weld.
To generate an error code after a bad weld, enable F36, which does
not disable welding but will flash the red triangle icon and error message
on the display. To disable the welder upon a bad weld, enable F33. The
welder will flash "weld error" after seeing a NIO weld, and no more
welding can be performed thereafter until the user enters a password.
The password is the same as in Lock mode 2 or 3 (F19), and default
password is 123456. After entering the password, welding can resume,
even though the red triangle icon is still flashing. It is not necessary to
try to clear the error E013 (Weld Out-of-Tolerance) before resuming
welding.
Usage
Example
The user would like the unit to be locked and for the internal process
control to require a password when a failed weld is detected.
Setup:
1.
Perform a successful weld.
2.
View F32 (Weld Results). Press and hold the 'Lock' key to save
the weld as a target. The word 'SAVED' will appear on the dis-
play.
3.
Set the lock mode to 2 or 4 using F19 (Lock Mode). Set F35
(Weld Tolerance) as desired. Set F36 (Process Monitor Error
code on Failed Weld) to ON. Set F33 (Disable Welding on Error)
to ON.
4.
From the Time\Current or Stud Expert mode, lock the unit by
pressing the 'LOCK' key. Enter a password that will be used to
both unlock the unit and also will allow welding to resume if a
failed weld occurs. Press 'LOCK' again as the Enter key.
