P.506 | Set User Interface Passcode |
|
|
Prevents unauthorized changes to the equipment. The default passcode is zero which allows full access. A nonzero passcode will prevent unauthorized: changes to memory limits, saving to memory (if P.502 = Yes), changes to setup parameters (if P.505 = Yes).
This parameter can only be accessed using Power Wave Manager software.
P.509 | UI Master Lockout |
| Locks all user interface controls, preventing the operator from making any changes. This para- |
| meter can only be accessed using Power Wave Manager software. |
TOUCH SENSE
The Touch Sense option, when enabled, allows the operator to feed the wire forward until it touches the workpiece. When contact to the work is made, the wire will stop and the flux hopper (if used) will activate to put flux around the wire and fill the flux feed sys- tem. The flux hopper will stay active until the Feed Forward button is released.
WARNING
If the Touch Sense is enabled the Power Source output is ON as long as the Feed Forward button is held. Avoid touching any portion of the weld cir- cuit while feeding down.
If the Touch Sense option is disabled, the wire is “cold” during the Feed Forward time. It will not stop when it touches the work and the flux hopper will not activate.
LOCKOUT / SECURITY
The MAXsa™ 10 can be configured to prevent the operator from changing selected User Interface panel controls. By default, the welder will be able to change the weld mode, all relevant wave controls and all rele- vant start and end options.
Note that when an option is locked, its value can still be monitored. For example, if start and end options are locked, the welder can still press the right Mode Select Panel Pushbutton and see the value set for Start Time. If the welder attempts to change its value, a message will briefly appear on the Mode Select Panel indicating "MSP Option is LOCKED
The lockout features are only available through the use of Power Wave Manager.
