B-3 OPERATION B-3
Memory has an advanced feature called ʻmemory
reminderʼ. When the Save key is hit, the memory
reminder function flashes the LED of the most recently
used memory, so the operator can save procedures in
the most recently used memory if desired. It is not
necessary to save to the most recently used memory;
the memory reminder function, and itʼs flashing LED,
can be ignored.
Memories cannot be changed without using the Save
key. When slight procedure adjustments are neces-
sary, but there is no desire to ʻpermanentlyʼ save the
adjustments to a memory, this can be done with
Procedure A and Procedure B. Set the Panel to A or
B, and recall a memory setting. Make the slight proce-
dure adjustment -- it will be saved in A or B, whichev-
er was selected when the adjustments were made.
The memory location will not have changed.
To recall a memory setting, simply push that memory
button. That memoryʼs contents will be immediately
recalled to the Control box.
If the ʻMemory Change with Trigger Pullʼ DIP switch is
on (see SETTING DIP SWITCHES in the
INSTALLATION section) it is possible to recall a given
memory by quickly pulling and releasing the gun trig-
ger before welding. To switch to memory ʻnʼ, simply
pull and release the gun trigger ʻnʼ times without
attempting to weld. The trigger pulls and releases
must be done quickly, in rapid succession. If too much
time is allowed to pass, the memory location will not
change. Note that whenever the trigger is pulled, a
welding sequence (preflow, run-in, etc.) begins, so the
electrode should not be allowed to contact the work
piece.
CONTROL BOX PANELS -- ʻLARGEʼ OPTION PANELS
A description of the set up controls, Preflow, Run In,
Arc Control, Postflow, and Crater, and their maximum
and minimum values, is in CONTROL BOX PANELS -
SET UP CONTROLS DESCRIPTION in this section.
CV/Gouge Panel:(Std.)
The CV/G Panel has a single toggle switch for select-
ing between two weld modes: CV welding and arc
gouging. All other set up parameters, Preflow, Arc
Control, Postflow, and Crater, default to zero or off.
Run-in defaults to the minimum value, or to the weld
speed depending on the position of its associated dip
switch. (See SETTING DIP SWITCHES in the
INSTALLATION section.) Burn back defaults to the
on-board trimmer adjustment. When used with the
Dual Procedure or Memory options, only the
WFS/Amps and Volts/Trim settings are saved.
Selecting the Gouge mode immediately energizes the
output terminals on the power source. The output current
is set by the Amps control. The Volts/Trim adjustment
has no effect in this mode.
K1542-6 M Panel:
This panel has a three position toggle switch for
selecting one of three weld modes: CV/MIG, CV/Flux
Cored and CC/Stick/Gouge, and a single knob for
adjustment of Arc Control. All other set up parame-
ters, Preflow, Postflow, and Crater, default to zero or
off. Run-in defaults to the minimum value, or to the
weld speed depending on the position of its associat-
ed dip switch. (See SETTING DIP SWITCHES in the
INSTALLATION section.) Burn back defaults to the
on-board trimmer adjustment. When used with the
Dual Procedure or Memory options, only the
WFS/Amps and Volts/Trim settings are saved.
Selecting the CC/Stick/Gouge mode immediately
energizes the output terminals on the power source.
The output current is set by the Amps control. The
Volts/Trim adjustment has no effect in this mode.
K1542-11 MX2 Panel:
This panel provides a selection of four weld modes:
CV/MIG, CV/Flux Cored, CC/Stick/soft and
CC/Stick/Crisp through a toggle switch and indicator
lights (LEDs). It allows for adjustment of all set up
parameters, Preflow, Run In, Arc Control, Burnback,
Postflow, and Crater, through an up/down toggle
switch, indicator lights and a 3 digit display.
Weld modes are selected with the Mode Select
switch, an up/down center-off momentary toggle
switch. Moving the switch bat up or down moves the
Weld Mode LED in the corresponding direction.
Holding the switch in either direction will cause the
indicator to move quickly in the corresponding direc-
tion until the switch is released, or the upper or lower
limit is reached.
To adjust Set Up parameters, first select the Set Up
parameter for adjustment, and then adjust the dis-
played value up or down.
Set Up parameters are selected with the Select
switch, an up/down center-off momentary toggle
switch. Moving the switch bat up or down moves the
Weld Mode LED in the corresponding direction.
Holding the switch in either direction will cause the
indicator to move quickly in the corresponding direc-
tion until the switch is released, or the upper or lower
limit is reached.
