Q. Horn Down and Horn Scan are not working.
A. Horn Down and Horn Scan only operate when the welder is in ready mode. If the Part-
ID Scan in the system configuration is on, the system will not be ready until part is
scanned. The Part-ID Scan will need to be set to off or a part scan will need to be made to
use Horn Down and Horn Scan.
Q. How does EMERGENCY STOP work?
A. Keep in mind that it is meant for EMERGENCY usage only, not for normal head
retraction functions. Additional 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 re initialize 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 compatible 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, Branson Product Support or Customer Service
should any like conditions or for inquires about explosion-proof requirements.
