4.1 Text, Symbol & Numeral Keys
There are sections of the ACL program that will require or request text,
symbols and/or numerals to be entered. This will range from a weld
procedure name (either to be saved or recalled) to a procedure description
to weld parameters.
Several keys have a single- or dual-function; depending on which part of the
ACL program screen is currently showing.
The text keys are only active when the cursor box lies within a text line.
For example: If the MAIN MENU is showing, and the operator is attempting
to save a procedure, the highlighted character spaces after the save
procedure option will show and await the operator to type in a procedure
name. At this screen, all the text and numeral keys are active. If at the weld
screen, the text keys will become ACL program function keys.
When modifying a procedure, and the cursor box is located at the weld
procedure description, all key functions are in text entering mode only.
All text typed from the keyboard is defaulted upper case. If a lower case
letter is required on the text line, it is only available using the HHC.
4.2 Menu Keys
Pressing the corresponding key on the factory supplied computer keyboard
can bring each MENU forward.
To access the “MAIN MENU”, the “PRINT MENU” and the “LOG MENU”,
press the corresponding key that matches the requested MENU, as seen at
the bottom of each of the MENU screens.
Using [Esc] on the keyboard is the only way the “MAIN MENU” can be
accessed.
Use [P] for the PRINT MENU.
Use [L] for the LOG MENU.
4.3 Welding Function Control Keys
These are the keys that control the welding procedure operations prior to and
during welding or testing, and during weld procedure editing/modifying.
Use the [S] key to [START/STOP] the procedure.
When pressed, while viewing the Weld Screen, the loaded procedure will
start.
If pressed during the welding or testing of the welding procedure, the
procedure will stop.
Use the [Home] or [F] keys for [FINAL SLOPE/HOME] functions.
If pressed during the welding or testing of the welding procedure, all levels
will skip and initiate the Final Slope.
If pressed at any other time while at the Weld Screen, 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 [Home] or [F] keys will
immediately start the next level and will not finish until it reaches the
programmed end of that level.
Use the [N] key for [NEXT LEVEL/GAS] functions.
If pressed during the welding or testing of the welding procedure, the
procedure will jump from its current procedure level to the next procedure
level.
Subsequent pressing of this key will continue to jump to the next levels of
the procedure until the Final Slope is reached.
