Wire Package Tab
In order for Power Wave® Manager, Production Monitoring™ or CheckPoint™ to notify you when the
consumable on the Welding Power Source is running low or to allow the monitoring software to calculate a
variety of values, you need to enter the details of the consumable into the power source. You use the Wire
package tab in Power Wave® Manager to do this. Simply enter the details of the consumable and click the
Apply settings button. Table 10.4 explains the fields in more detail.
Figure 10.7 Wire Package Tab
Once you restock the power source after it runs out, click the Replenish button to reset the Current weight
field to the same value as the Initial weight field, provided the new wire is the same. Remember to click
the Apply settings button to commit the change to the power source.
Table 10.4 Fields on the Wire Package Tab
Field Description
Initial Weight Enter the original weight of the wire package, as indicated on the container.
Current weight If the package is partially used, you can enter the current weight of the package
in this field. However, if the package is new, this weight should be the same as
the Initial weight field.
Warning weight The power source can generate notifications to replace the wire package when it
gets low. You can set the alert for Production Monitoring™ on the E-mail setup
tab (page 10.12) and in each user’s account in the main CheckPoint™ application.
Both applications rely on the value entered in the Warning weight field.
Wire diameter Enter the diameter of the wire loaded for the power source. The power source
uses the diameter of the wire when calculating several values that it sends to
Production Monitoring™ or CheckPoint™.
Metal density
From the drop-down, select the density of the metal from which the wire is
composed. If none of the available options apply to the wire loaded into the
power source, select User Defined Density from the drop-down and enter the
density value in the text field that appears.
