conjunction with or without inputs from the foot switch input, initiates the weld energy sequence. Select
the required switch type by pressing the 1, 2, or 3 key. Pressing the numeric keys automatically returns
the display to the SETUP 1 screen.
Power Supply accepts a single pole, double
pole or optical firing switch input from a
n
MADA WELD TECH weld head. Firing switch
activation indicates that the weld head has

When using a non-force fired weld head, weld energy initiation must be supplied with the foot switch
input. Additionally, you must select sufficient squeeze time to permit the weld force to stabilize after
contacting the weld pieces.
3. Remote

CONTROL SIGNALS connector (see Appendix B. Electrical and Data Connections), select weld energy
schedules and initiate the weld energy sequence.
