Reset Consumable Weight

Use this option to reset the initial weight of the consumable package. Press the Right Button to
reset the consumable weight. This option will only appear with systems using Production Moni-
toring.

P.15

Hot-Inch Touch Sense Option

This option allows enabling or disabling touch sense when feeding wire forward.
Disabled = Touch sensing is disabled when feeding the wire forward (default).
Enabled = Touch sensing is active when feeding the wire forward.

When enabled and feeding wire forward, the wire is electrically "hot" and waiting to short to the
plate. When a short occurs, the wire feed automatically stops and the flux hopper relay is acti-
vated until the feed forward button is released.

P.18

Wire Drive Gear Ratio

This option selects the Wire Drive Gear Ratio that will be used. This applies to the Cruiser dX Trac-
tor and MAXsa 10 only. The possible selectable values are read from the Wire Drive on startup.
Note: Changing this value will cause the system to reset.

P.19

Wire Drive Direction

This option selects the direction that the Wire Drive will run in. This applies to the Cruiser dX Trac-
tor only. This option is useful since the Tractor's WD head can be rotated to "point" in different di-
rections.

P.21

Shutdown 2 Function Select

This option allows selection of the Shutdown 2 input function on the control box.
Normal Shutdown = The Shutdown 2 input functions as a standard shutdown input that locks out
all input buttons (default).
Output Disable = The Shutdown 2 input functions as a machine output lockout to disable the
welding circuit but still allow cold feeding of the wire.

P.80

Sense From Studs

Use this option for diagnostic purposes only. When power is cycled, this option is automatically
reset to False.
False = Voltage sensing is automatically determined by the selected weld mode and other machine
settings (default).
True = Voltage sensing is forced to "studs".
