Q. Are there any special requirements for operation with the ACTUATOR UP-SIDE DOWN?
A. Always let Branson know when you plan to run in this manner. Model-specific advice will be provided.
Q. Are there any special requirements for operation with the ACTUATOR HORIZONTAL?
A. Always let Branson know when you plan to run in this manner. Model-specific advice will be provided.
Q. How does EMERGENCY STOP work?
A. Keep in mind that it is meant for EMERGENCY usage only, not for normal head retraction functions. Addi-
tional time is allotted for checking the welders’ hardware and system status after an EMERGENCY STOP.
Note: A front panel or external signal Reset is required after an Emergency Stop to reinitialize the welder.
Also see CYCLE ABORT below.
Q. So the CYCLE ABORT function is the preferred fast welder head retraction function?
A. Yes. It does not require the additional time that is allotted for checking the welders’ hardware and system
status that is used for EMERGENCY STOP.
Q. How does RESET work? Can I hold it on?
A. RESET is only acted upon after
a GENERAL ALARM. Do not hold it in the RESET state as it will be
ignored.
Q. My system logic uses some value OTHER THAN 24 VOLTS. What do I do?
A. A set of dipswitches are provided on the rear panel slot that contains the USER I/O connector. Setting
the switches to OFF (open) converts the 24volt USER I/O to OPEN COLLECTOR configuration. The same
voltage/current spec.’s apply when in this mode. (24 volt dc,25ma max.) Use them to control devices that
have outputs compatable to your requirements.
Q. Are there any environmental conditions to be concerned about?
A. Any electrical/electronic equipment does not work well in: high humidity (condensing
) conditions: also in
dusty areas, in particular conductive dust
(carbon granule or fiber, charcoal, metal particle, etc.)
A Fan Filter Kit with instructions can be factory or customer installed for just ordinary dusty areas.
Always contact your area representative:
