2 Technical Description
2.1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this MacGregor resistance welding power source.
This manual is designed to help the new user to understand and operate the equipment quickly and
safely. Please take a few moments to become familiar with the equipment and this manual before
attempting to use the equipment.
The following information covers the model you have purchased and others in the range and should
be kept for reference. This will also help you identify model specific features mentioned in this
manual.
All DC-xx13-Ts are comprised of a linear DC power unit controlled by a microprocessor and colour
touch screen interface.
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that their installation is safe both electrically and
mechanically.
The DC-xx13-T allows you to program the delivery of electrical energy into a weld by allowing
adjustment of time and amplitude. Typically, energy into the weld is gradually ramped up, held at a
peak and then reduced. The amount of energy will depend on the length of these times together with
the value of the peak amplitude achieved. In some cases it is beneficial to use 2 pulses in a weld,
usually with the first pulse acting as a means of pre-conditioning the parts.
A weld profile that is used to make a satisfactory weld can be saved as a PROFILE in the unit's
memory.
2.2 Technical Specification
