Use:
The unit is now locked and ready to weld. When a weld is out of tolerance, the unit
will flash the red triangle icon and display 'WELD ERROR - ENTER PASSWORD'.
Enter the password to resume welding. Once the password is entered, the triangle
will still be flashing, but the user can resume welding.
If any weld settings are to be changed or F code configurations are to be accessed,
the unit must be unlocked before doing so.
6.8.5 Counters to keep track of good and bad welds
The good weld counter for the weld processweld process monitor is
F41, and bad
weld counts are tracked in F42. These counters can be re-
set by holding down the
Time-Down button while viewing the counter
F code.
6.8.6 Understanding Lock Modes
The Lock Mode configuration (F19) determines how the unit responds
to the LOCK
key when in the Time\Current mode or Stud Expert mode. It lets the user configure
the level of security as required for the circumstances.
Lock Mode 1: This is the minimal security mode, whereby the user may lock or
unlock the panel by simply pressing the LOCK key in the Time\Current mode or Stud
Expert mode. This is the default mode and is intended to prevent accidental weld
setting changes due to inadvertent key presses (i.e. leaning on object or hand on the
panel). NO PASSWORDS are used in this mode.
Lock Mode 2: This is the tightest security mode, whereby the user must select a
password to lock the unit. NO CHANGES can be made to weld settings or
function code settings while locked. The same password must be
entered to
unlock the unit.
Lock Mode 3: This is a medium level security mode, whereby the user must select a
password to lock the unit. Changes may be made to the weld settings
only by use of
the presets, but the value of the PRESETS may not be
changed. The same password
must be entered to unlock the unit.
