TIP

|

It is good practice to record the results of these tests when

the welding system is operating well. You can then use

those values to compare to values taken when there are

welding problems on the same weld cell. This may help

isolate the problem when the old and new numbers are

significantly different.

Sense Lead Diagnostics Tab

The Sense lead diagnostics tab helps you troubleshoot arc starting problems or erratic arc behavior by

testing and changing the location of the sense lead temporarily. Over time, the constant movement of

equipment, such as robot motion, can cause arc voltage sense leads to detach. The settings on this tab

allow you to test and verify the connectivity and reliability of the voltage sense selection currently set. This

is done by a process of testing voltage sense starting at the studs, then incrementally moving to the remote

voltage sense locations.

NOTE |

Any changes made in this tab are temporary and are reset

when the power to the Welding Power Source is turned off.
