CHAPTER 3 – THE WORK CYCLE
The user defines the work cycle to be carried out by the TE470/TE480 by adjusting the programming
parameters. These parameters describe the operating times and the current adjustments that, in sequence,
constitute the work cycle.
The graph below shows in which sequence the programmed functions are carried out.
The numbers refer to the programming parameters.

For safety reasons, the microprocessor does not start the welding cycle if the start
cycle device is activated when switching on the welder; release it and restart it.
Any microinterruptions or excessive voltage drops will stop the control unit and do
not alter the operation; to reset the operation, turn the machine off and then turn it
on again.
