Lincoln Electric IM10023 - Manual (Page 29)

TOUCH SENSE
The Touch Sense option, when enabled, allows the
operator to feed the wire forward until it touches the
workpiece. When contact to the work is made, the
wire will stop and the flux hopper (if used) will activate
to put flux around the wire and fill the flux feed sys-
tem. The flux hopper will stay active until the Feed
Forward button is released.
If the Touch Sense is enabled the Power Source
output is ON as long as the Feed Forward button
is held. Avoid touching any portion of the weld cir-
cuit while feeding down.
If the Touch Sense option is disabled, the wire is
“cold” during the Feed Forward time. It will not stop
when it touches the work and the flux hopper will not
activate.
LOCKOUT / SECURITY
The MAXsa™ 10 can be configured to prevent the
operator from changing selected User Interface panel
controls. By default, the welder will be able to change
the weld mode, all relevant wave controls and all rele-
vant start and end options.
Note that when an option is locked, its value can still
be monitored. For example, if start and end options
are locked, the welder can still press the right Mode
Select Panel Pushbutton and see the value set for
Start Time. If the welder attempts to change its value,
a message will briefly appear on the Mode Select
Panel indicating "MSP Option is LOCKED
The lockout features are only available through
the use of Power Wave Manager.
