3.2 Basic Setup Procedure
Setting up the N1500i unit is very easy, once the proper electrical
connections and gun connections are established:

“on”
position. Wait for the unit to complete its startup sequence.
2. Set the desired current and time settings using one of the
following 3 methods:
3. Push Time/Current Mode button (3 in the Front Panel section),
and up/down buttons (8) to adjust time and current discretely.
4. Push Stud Expert (TM) Mode button (9 in the Front Panel
section), and up/down buttons (8) to adjust stud diameter and
weld position (or another process condition) and the welder
automatically sets the weld current and time using a database.
5. Push one of the 10 preset buttons (11 in the Front Panel section)
to choose one of the factory presets (see next section factory pre-
set table).
6. Save any set points, if desired.
7. Adjust other settings by accessing the proper function.
8. Perform a lift check to verify proper gun lift.
9. Lock the unit, if desired.
