Foot Pedal - When using the Foot Pedal mode, the weld will only initiate when the foot pedal is
pressed (the work piece must be touching the electrode or nothing will happen when the user
presses the foot pedal). is mode is recommended if users need to reach a deep crevice or a
tight area where they do not want the weld to automatically initiate if they accidentally touch a
sidewall with the electrode. *Remember to touch with lite pressure no matter what trigger mode
is being used.
AGITATION BUTTON
High Frequency Pulse Agitation can improve weld formation and strength. Agitation can be an
extremely valuable option with certain metals. See quick settings guide for when to use agitation.
Agitation Off - is is the standard weld discharge curve with a smooth slope.
is is good for most metals and will give maximum control over spot size
formation. is is the recommended setting when working with silver.
Agitation On - Agitation offers additional energy during the weld for additional
penetration and enhanced weld strength. e agitation energy can affect
the spot size. It is recommended to lower the overall weld energy slightly to
compensate for the additional agitation energy.
*Note: Agitation can produce loud, high-pitched sounds; please take precaution if ears are
sensitive
ENERGY BAR
e energy bar ranges from 3.0Ws (Watt-Seconds or Joules) to 100Ws. Users can slide their finger
anywhere along the bar to move the energy up or down.
PLUS/MINUS BUTTONS
Another option for moving the energy up or down is to use the + and - buttons to the right of the
energy bar.
SPOT WIDTH & SPOT DEPTH
is section of the touch screen interface shows the user an image of the estimated weld spot
width and weld spot depth (based on where the energy is set). is is roughly the size and
penetration that will occur when a weld is made. e dimension is also shown in millimeters.
