If a different value input power voltage is required after the initial setup,
a different power cord will have to be ordered (Reference Section C -
Accessories.) The wiring of the power cord determines the input power and
phase.
Section B Operation
1. Power Source Startup
This section describes the different sequence of screens at startup for
the ACL. When the power is turned on, a short series of automatic self-
tests take place. These tests are necessary to ensure that the ACL, which
includes the computer, keyboard, HHC (Hand Held Control), interface
connections, and the program are all compatible and in proper working order.
During this start-up sequence, the system checks for any failures. If there
are any failures of any component or programs, they will be reported on
the monitor and the HHC. If all the tests pass, without a failure found or
reported, the system will continue on to the next step of the program.
The ACL system start-up sequence goes through the following steps:
1.1 Power Up - when power is applied to the system.
1.2 Logo and Program Load Screen - displays logo for MK Products,
Inc. while loading software.
1.3 Self-Check - series of self-checks verifies readiness.
1.1 Power-Up
The start-up and shutdown procedures are the same for the Teach and the
Production Modes. Before attempting to power up the ACL, the operator
should become thoroughly familiar with this section of this manual. Follow
this procedure to assure power-up and self-diagnostic sequences occur:
Prior to connecting to AC input power; plug the factory supplied power cord
into the rear panel receptacle of the ACL (making sure the keying lines line
up for both plug and receptacle).
DO NOT USE FORCE TO INSERT PLUG.
If it doesn’t slide in easily - it probably isn’t aligned properly.
Turn the tightening ring on the plug to lock in place.
Plug the ACL power cord into the appropriate AC power outlet.
WARNING
Be sure the AC voltage matches the voltage shown on the factory supplied power
cord. Using a power cord on the wrong voltage may cause serious damage to the
unit, as well as exposing the operator to potential electrical injury.
Connect the weldhead cables to the rear of the ACL.
Connect the factory-supplied gas regulator to an inert gas source. Connect
the shield gas input gas line coming from the gas regulator to the gas
connector at the rear panel of the ACL. The factory-supplied regulator is
preset, regardless of the input, to insure proper output flow and pressure.
Power-up the ACL by turning the POWER ON/OFF rocker switch to ON. The
following power-up messages appear on the monitor.
1.2 Logo and Program Load Screen
The ACL starts loading and initializing when the MK Products logo appears
on the monitor. This screen will remain for a few seconds while the rest of
the program loads, displaying a progress bar at the bottom of the screen.
