The red [START/STOP] button first starts the program. If pressed a
second time, it will stop the program.
The [FINAL SLOPE/HOME] button in orange, if pressed during the
welding or testing of the welding program, will skip all levels and initiate
the final slope. If pressed at any other time, the rotor will move (jog)
to its home position at the high calibration speed value. If the rotor is
already at home position, the rotor will then backup several degrees,
then forward again to home.
If using a Degree procedure, pressing the [FINAL SLOPE/HOME]
button will immediately start the final level and will not finish until it
reaches the programmed end.
The [NEXT LEVEL/GAS] button in orange, if pressed during the welding or
testing of the welding program, will jump from its current program level to
the next program level. Subsequent pressing of this button will continue to
jump to the next levels of the program.
If using a Degree procedure, pressing the [NEXT LEVEL/GAS] button
will immediately start the next level and will not finish until it reaches
the programmed end.
If pressed at any other time, the gas function is enabled: if pressed once,
the gas will ‘flow’ (assuming the inert gas supply and the weldhead gas
lines are connected to the ACL), if pressed again the ‘flow’ of gas will stop.
The inert shielding gas will automatically turn on (‘flow’), when the
program is started by pressing the [START/STOP] button.
The two green buttons [ éJOG] and [êJOG], are used to jog the rotor either
prior to starting the program for setup, or after running the program.
To jog the rotor in the normal welding direction (clockwise direction),
press [
éJOG]. To jog the rotor in the opposite direction, press
[ êJOG].
Either button will jog the rotor in their respective directions, at a speed
of 5 rpm.
4.8 Scaling Buttons
During the welding and testing mode, the operator may scale both the current
and rotor speed values as the procedure allows. This can be accomplished
with the four buttons described below.
The two red buttons labeled [ é%CURRENT] and [ê%CURRENT], when
pressed, will increase or decrease the amperage value, before or during
the welding and testing, by one percent (1%) of the current level value.
For example: If the amperage value for the current level is 50 amps, and
the [
é %CURRENT] is pressed five times to increase the amperage five
percent (5%), then the actual current value at the arc will be:
50 + 5%(50) = 52.5 amps
50 + 2.5 = 52.5 amps
The two green buttons labeled [ é%MOTOR] and [ê%MOTOR], when
pressed, will increase or decrease the rotor speed value, before or during
the welding and testing, by one percent (1%) of the current level value.
For example: If the rotor speed value for the current level is 5 rpm, and
the [
ê %MOTOR] is pressed five times to decrease the rotor speed five
percent (5%), then the actual rotor speed value at the tube surface will
be:
5 - 5%(5) = 4.75 rpm
5 - 0.25 =4.75 rpm
