SECTION 4:
OPERATION
This chapter is organized to guide the user from setup, to
power up, and to start up. The first section will direct the
user how to configure the HMC-410 control panel. The
second section will describe how to program the HMC-
410 for use. The third section will guide the integrator on
how to configure the system to be mated with the control
panel, i.e., feeder/torch, power source, and fixturing. The
fourth section will detail the operation of the HMC-410 in
its different modes of operation.
This entire chapter (and manual) should be read and
understood before any actual setup is performed. This
list is given in a general order of performance, but actual
order may vary.
4.01 System Configuration
This section is divided into two areas. The first is a
description of the software configurable parameters for
the proper operation of the HMC-410. The second section
provides an overview for the setup of the HMC-410,
including jumpers, switch settings and board placement.
Soft Switch Description
The HMC-410 has several programmable setup
parameters. These parameters are typically only set once
during the initial system setup.
Programming the soft switches is achieved with a four-
step sequence.
1. The HMC-410 is powered on while the front panel
TEST button is being pressed. The panel should
display PAr in the upper display.
2. The Mode Select Encoder is rotated until the
parameter(s) to be changed (shown in the center
display) is selected.
3. The Lower Encoder is rotated until the desired
parameter displayed in the lower display is
selected.
4. Wait at least 2 seconds and cycle power on the
control panel. The parameters will then be set.
The following chart shows softswitches for all available
software as of the date of this manual. If your unit has
only the standard software, then the softswitches available
are shown for software dash number 3. Otherwise, the
software number is the same as the dash number of the
kit installed (ie 171238-17 has a software dash number
17).
The following parameters are set by the soft switches:
