Before starting the programming phase, it is important to learn some fundamental features of the control unit.
The TE470/TE480 stores 63 different welding programs. If allowed by the type of handle connected to the
control unit, when working it is possible to quickly select up to four different programs called "ADJUSTMENT 1",
"ADJUSTMENT 2", "ADJUSTMENT 3" and "ADJUSTMENT 4", respectively. While working, the adjustments are
selected by means of a switch or a commutator on the handle.
For example, the choice is made through selector 4 using the following handle.
During the programming stage the user selects, for each adjustment, the weld program to be used.
The control unit dialogs with the user through a LCD. The user programs which language the control unit should
display the alarm and error messages.
The control unit is programmed by adjusting the parameters that describe the welding cycle. This is done by
selecting the parameters and setting the required values one at a time.
To better understand the meaning of each parameter, refer to the relevant paragraph (PARAMETERS
DESCRIPTION).
