9. If necessary, enable target life counters and select a target life for each applicable
target.
10. If necessary, enable arc handling and enter appropriate arc-handling parameters.
11. If necessary, create a ramping recipe (available through the standard serial port,
Profibus, or Pinnacle Remote Active Panel).
12. If necessary, set the out-of-set point timer to a value other than 0.
13. If necessary, set limits for output power, output voltage, output current, and/or
process voltage.
14. Verify all output power load conditions and connections and, when the system is
ready, enable the output. The output information on the output display screen
should equal your requested set point.
15. If you are using a passive front panel, verify that the OUTPUT and SETPOINT
LEDs light. If these LEDs do not light, see the “Troubleshooting” chapter for
more information.
If you are using an active front panel or the Pinnacle Remote Active Panel, verify
that the ON LED lights. Also, verify that the display screen shows values for
output information. If the display screen shows an error code and message, see
the “Troubleshooting” chapter for error code explanations and troubleshooting
suggestions.
UNDERSTANDING PINNACLE PLUS+ ARC
HANDLING
Your Pinnacle Plus+ unit will power up every time with micro arc handling enabled.
You can safely disable micro arc handling if your process allows it. Hard arc handling
cannot be disabled.
The following paragraphs describe what the arc handling settings are and how they
might interact with each other, with your system, and with your process.
Voltage Arc Trip Level
By setting the voltage arc (V-arc) trip level you are indicating the voltage threshold as
measured at the DC inverter output (see Figure 2-1 on page 2-2) at which the Pinnacle
Plus+ recognizes an arc. The best value for a voltage arc trip level is somewhere
between your process's normal operating voltage and the typical low voltage that
occurs when your system experiences a hard arc. The latter depends on your target
