END OPTIONS

Pressing the Right Mode Select Panel Pushbutton
after scrolling through the Start Options will illuminate
the END OPTIONS LED. Repeated pressing of the
Right Mode Select Panel Pushbutton will toggle
through the parameters. Turning the Mode Select
Panel Knob while on a parameter will change its
value. When the Crater Time is set to a value other
than OFF, the END OPTIONS LED will blink synchro-
nous with the WFS or Amps LED (depending on CC
or CV Weld Modes) and with the Volts LED located on
the Dual Display Panel prompting the user to enter
these parameters. The parameters that can be set by
the user in the END OPTIONS will be as follows:

CRATER WFS/AMPS (Dual Display)
CRATER VOLTS (Dual Display)
CRATER TIME (MSP4)
BURNBACK TIME (MSP4)

SETUP MODE OPTIONS

The Setup Mode can be entered at any time by press-
ing both Mode Select Panel Pushbuttons simultane-
ously. The SETUP LED will illuminate. Pressing both
Mode Select Panel Pushbuttons simultaneously while
the P number is blinking will exit the Setup Mode. The
Setup Mode will be exited automatically after 1 minute
of inactivity.

There are two different levels of user preferences in
the Setup Mode – non-secure and secure. Accessing
secured parameters requires initialization using a
Palm or PC utility.

Welding parameters that will be factory set to default
values or adjusted by a relatively small percentage of
users will be made available in the SETUP MODE.
These parameters will include the following:

STRIKE FAULT TIME (MSP4-seconds)
START ARC FORCE (Dual Display-Amps)
DOWNSLOPE TIME (MSP4-seconds)
UPSLOPE TIME (MSP4-seconds)
CRATER ARC FORCE (Dual Display-Amps)
WELD ARC FORCE (Dual Display-Amps)

RESTRIKE TIME (MSP4-seconds)

Turning the Mode Select Panel Knob will toggle
through all user preferences and factory set welding
parameters. The lower alphanumeric display will read
"Yes" prompting the user to press the right
Pushbutton to enter into the chosen parameter set, if
available.

Once the parameter set has been selected, turning
the Mode Select Panel Knob will toggle through the
parameters available in the selected set while show-
ing the current setting for each parameter in the 7-
segment display. The parameters will blink in the
Mode Select Panel lower alphanumeric display
prompting the user to press the right Mode Select
Panel Pushbutton to select the parameter. Once the
parameter has been selected, the lower Mode Select
Panel alphanumeric display will no longer blink the
parameter and the current setting of the parameter will
blink in the Mode Select Panel 7-segment display
prompting the user to change the setting. Pressing the
left Mode Select Panel Pushbutton will exit the para-
meter setting section, returning to the previous sec-
tion. Continuing to press the left Mode Select Panel
Pushbutton will return to the Setup Mode user prefer-
ences and welding parameters list.
