The selection of the current adjustment mode is independent for each welding program and is set by
means of the WORKING MODE parameter.
$
By setting the PW% value the welding current adjustment is carried out in percent values. Please,
notice that the set value stands for the real percent value of the welder maximum current.
$
By setting the IK value the program in progress carries out the adjustment mode in constant current.
TE500 monitors the welder characteristics by means of the self-calibration procedure. The values
measured during this operation are used for the correct functioning of the working mode in constant
current.
In order to get a better adjustment precision, we recommend to repeat this procedure in case the arms
are replaced with other having different dimensions. This procedure is described in the relevant
paragraph.
When operating in constant current mode and if during the welding process for any reasons, there is no
current circulation, the control unit does not carry out the adjustment: it blocks the welding process and
displays the following error message:
Welding current changes (I) according to the mains
voltage (V) variation under standard operating mode
Welding current changes (I) according to the mains
voltage (V) variation under constant current operating mode
NO SECONDARY
CURRENT SIGNAL
TE500 allows the user to adjust the welding current in two different operating modes: the standard
percent adjustment, and the constant current adjustment. When the control unit works in constant
current, it is possible to set the welding current value directly. During the welding process the control
unit measures, for each half-period, the true welding current RMS value and, based on a correcting
mathematical algorithm, keeps the set current.
In addition to simplifying the programming operations, this operating mode also permits to keep the
desired welding current even if some factors change such as: mains voltage, welding circuit dimensions
and impedance, condition of the welding tools, surface conditions of the materials being processed.
