This section details the alarm conditions that you can encounter while using the 2000Xc
Power Supply. There are eight classes of alarms: Cycle Modified, Failure of, No Cycle,
Setup, Suspect, Reject, Overload, and Note. Following is a brief description of each type of
alarm, followed by Tables Table B.1 through Table B.7 which detail alarm messages,
causes, and corrective actions for each type of alarm.
• A Cycle Modified alarm (Table B.1) occurs when the most recent weld cycle has been modified by
some event. For example, if the amplitude step did not occur as requested.The specific alarm
that has occurred is indicated by the message on your display, and will advance the general
alarm counter. If you encounter numerous or successive cycle modified alarms, review your weld
parameter setup. See individual alarms for advancement of cycle counter
• Equipment Failure alarms, (
Table B.2) are those which might occur for hardware failure, or
hardware disconnected. The specific equipment failure that has occurred is indicated by the
message on your display. Repair or replace the equipment before you run another weld cycle.
Alarms will advance the general alarm counter. For more detailed information on repairing your
equipment contact Branson Product Support by calling the appropriate department as indicated
in
1.3 Warranty Statement, Disclaimer
• A No Cycle alarm (Table B.3) occurs when the most recent weld cycle was aborted before any
weld took place. The specific no weld failure that has occurred is indicated by the message on
your display. No Cycle alarms will advance the general alarm counter, but will not advance the
cycle counter. You should continue with the next weld cycle; in most cases the part can be re-
used
• A Suspect or Reject alarm (
Table B.4) occurs when the most recent weld cycle fell outside your
programmed limits. The specific conflict that has occurred is indicated by the message on your
display. Suspect/Reject alarms will advance the general alarm counter, but only once per cycle
regardless of the number of alarms generated. You should inspect any part that was welded
during a cycle that resulted in an alarm. If you encounter numerous or successive alarms you
should review your weld parameter setup
• A Setup alarm (
Table B.5) occurs when you have entered parameters that create a conflict with
other parameters. For example, trying to step an amplitude at weld time 1.000 seconds, but the
weld time is only set for 0.500 seconds.The specific conflict that has occurred is indicated by the
message on your display. All setup alarms must be resolved before a new cycle can be run. Setup
alarms will advance the general alarm counter, but will not advance the cycle counter. If you are
uncertain as to the cause of the conflict
• An Overload alarm (
Table B.6) occurs when your ultrasonic power supply has overloaded.
Overload alarms advance the general alarms counter. The specific overload that has occurred is
indicated by the message on your display
NOTICE
If you experience an Operating System error message, please turn
the power supply off (Wait 30 Seconds), and then turn the power
supply on again, this will initiate a restart sequence for the Operating
System. If the Operating System error persists, please contact
Branson Product Support by calling the appropriate department as
indicated in 1.3 Warranty Statement, Disclaimer.
DANGER
You should always power down your system prior to repairing any
portion of it.
