RUN Mode

When the welder is first turned on after the E-Stop
switch is reset (see Figure 4-4), the STARTUP screen
is displayed as shown in Figure 5–1 directing the
operator to Activate both RUN SWITCHES to reset
machine. Press both switches simultaneously and hold
until a beep sounds, which will take several seconds.
A second beep will sound a few seconds after the first,
indicating that the welder is ready to run a weld cycle
(the bar under the smiley face will become green at
the same time). The message area is now clear and the
STATUS icon in the upper left has changed to a smiley
face with a green band below it as shown in Figure
5–2. If, when the switches are activated as described
above, the tooling hub begins to oscillate instead of
rotating smoothly, press the E-Stop and then check
that the correct tooling inertia is entered as described
later in this manual in the
