NOTE |

Time spent welding during Planned Downtime is excluded

from the Availability calculation.

ƒ Disconnected (gray): The Disconnected time is the amount of time this Welding Power Source

was not connected to the network and could not communicate with CheckPoint™. In the
Availability calculation, the amount of Disconnected time is subtracted from the Asset Scheduled
Time
to remove the unknown status from the calculation.

For more details on calculating Availability, please see page 9.5.

Consumable Package

The Consumable Package widget is sort of like a gas gauge and is only available for a single Welding Power
Source. Your gas gauge lets you know how much gas you have left (e.g., half a tank), how fast you’re using
the gas (e.g., 45 mpg) and about how much time you have left before you run out (e.g., 200 miles until
empty).

In CheckPoint™, your “needle gauge” is the status bar and the Wire Remaining field. How fast you’re using
the wire is the Avg. Usage Rate, and how much time you have left is the Est. Time Remaining (based on
your usage rate).

Figure 8.4 Consumable Package

The Diameter, Density and Cons. Lot were entered in Power Wave® Manager when the wire was
replenished in the Welding Power Source. Please refer to the Power Wave® Manager User Manual for
more in-depth information.
