After Advanced Settings is selected, a warning screen is displayed as shown in Figure 5-13.

Adjusting these settings may affect the operation of your unit. Before you change a setting, please check with Dukane personnel for their recommendations.

The warning screen is shown for a few seconds, then, the Advanced Settings screen appears.

See Figure 5-14.

Adjustments can be made to: Free Run Frequency; Ramp Up Time; Frequency Lock and Hold; and, Trig- ger By Power, but note that Trigger by Power is only available when the weld mode is time or energy.

Free Run Frequency

Free run is the frequency at which the generator drives the ultrasound ouput pulses until a valid feedback signal is detected. Typically this value should be below the operating frequency of the probe.

Follow the on screen prompts to make setting adjustments.

Ramp Up Time

This parameter increases the amplitude linearly in the programmed time period at the start of the weld from zero to the programmed amplitude level. This brings the probe up to operating amplitude smoothly

preventing shock stress.

Follow the on screen prompts to make setting adjustments.

Lock and Hold

For an explanation of Frequency Lock and Hold, please refer to Application Note 505 found on our website at:
