5. 4. Execution of a weld program
5. 4. 1. Safety precautions
Before starting any manipulation
on the equipment please refer to
chapter 1 "Safety precautions".
5. 4. 2. Choosing the program to be executed
The program to be executed is selected with the
switch BT 4 on the remote control pendant. You can
check the name of the program on the display of the
PS 164-2. If only "POLYSOUDE PS 164-2" appears,
you have selected the number of a user program
place where nothing is stored in the memory of the
PS 164-2. If ! 75 ! is displayed on the screen, the
right range of current is not selected.
5. 4. 3. Simulation
After the correct program has been selected, you can
run a simulation without affecting the workpiece to
be welded. In this case, all the functions of the se-
lected program are carried out except those concern-
ing the arc and the coolant circuit.
The gas controls are executed but the fl ow rates are
not considered. So it is possible to check fl ow adjust-
ment or reduce gas consumption during the simula-
tion.
The choice between a simulated or a real weld cycle
is made with the switch BT 1 on the remote control
pendant.

5. 4. 4. Weld cycle
5. 4. 4. 1. Starting the weld cycle
The weld cycle is initiated by pressing the button
BT 5 on the remote control pendant. The indicator
BT 3 becomes illuminated when the cycle starts.
If for the selected number a program does not ex-
ist in the memory of the PS 164-2, no cycle will be
started and the indicator will fl ash. The fl ashing can
be turned off by pressing any button on the remote
control pendant.
5. 4. 4. 2. Modifi cation of a weld cycle
Parameter values can be modifi ed during the weld
cycle with the remote control pendant. The values of
the modifi able parameters in each sector are:
• The current or maximum current in the case of
pulsed current (I22).
• The rotation speed (V32) or low rotation speed in
case of pulsed rotation (V33).
• The wire speed or the high wire speed in the case
of pulsed wire (V42).
