7. Basic Operation
(1) Turn on the welding power
1 Turn on the welding power. The WELD POWER lamp lights up, and the READY
lamp blinks for 7 seconds, then goes off.
CAUTION
Check that the display screen and lamps are turned on normally and the fan
motor is operated.
(2) Set the Program Unit
2 Call the MENU screen. If other screen is displayed, press the MENU key.
3 Move the cursor ( ) to SCHEDULE, then press the ENTER key.
4 Set each item. Set it a little lower than the standard for the first welding.
(3) Start the operation
5 Input the start signal while the READY lamp is NOT on, and check each
sequential operation.
When confirming the operation, check that the SQD time (squeeze
delay time) and the SQZ time (squeeze time) are sufficient. If the
welding current flows before the welding electrode force becomes
sufficient, spatters are produced.
6 If no error is detected in 1 above, set a workpiece and weld it.
Turn on the WELD ON/OFF key on the front panel, WELD ON/OFF of MA-660A
and external WELD ON/OFF signal. Check that the READY lamp lights up, then
supply the welding current. At this time, confirm that the welding current is
flowing normally by checking the WELD lamp and the MONITOR screen.
7 Re-set the schedule so that the workpiece will be welded adequately.
8 When welding plural workpieces according to plural schedules, change
SCHEDULE # and set new time and welding current.
9 Set the upper and lower limits on the MONITOR SET screen for each
SCHEDULE #.
(Note) The Power Supply writes data into the flash memory on the control board
when a setting is changed or a schedule data is copied. The READY lamp on
the front panel and the external READY signal are turned off during writing.
Check that the READY lamp is turned on to start welding. It takes about 5
seconds at longest to change a setting and about 2 minutes to copy a
schedule into the flash memory. During that time, do not turn off the power.
(4) Turn off the welding power. Turn off the welding power all the LED lamps go off.
