MAIN - Measured values
The displays V (Volt) and A (Ampere) show the voltage and current actual
value during the welding process.
The "Hold" function switches the display for V or A from ACTUAL values to
Hold values. The Hold value display shows the averaged values for the last
weld.
Different parameters are shown, depending on the selected process and
the sensors used.
The example in Figure 23 shows the pulsed arc process "Vari Weld".
7.1 Operating data
For the cost control and calculation purposes, the menu "Measured values"
provides the submenu "Operating data". Before determining the consump-
tion costs, the current values for wire weight, wire costs, gas costs and
energy costs must be entered in the "Cost rates" menu item.
The numerical values are selected by means of rotary knob 3. By pressing
the rotary knob 3, you can modify the adjustment speed (x10, x100, x1000).
Meaningful operating data can only be collected in conjunction with the
optional SD sensor in the wire drive. The operating data can be displayed
on the operating module or evaluated in conjunction with the "QDM" soft-
ware and stored on an external data carrier.
Use the arrow keys to switch between the individual input points. After
entering the data you can quit the menu by means of the "Esc" key.
For orientation purposes please find below some welding wire weights.
These weights may vary in practice and have to be checked by means of a
precision balance for an exact determination of the weight.
The weight specifications refer to 1 m welding wire.
