INFRARED (IR) CONTROL

The Mode Select Panel interface includes an infrared transceiver. This allows wireless machine configura- tion using a Palm OS based handheld computer. A proprietary Palm OS application, ALPalm, has been developed for this purpose.

LOCKOUT/SECURITY

The Power Feed 10A can be optionally configured to prevent the operator from changing selected Power Feed 10A panel controls. By default, the welder will be able to change the weld mode, all relevant wave controls and all relevant start and end options.

Here is a list of Lockout levels:

Note that when an option is locked, its value can still be monitored.

If the welder attempts to change its value, a message will briefly appear on the Mode Select Panel indicating "MSP Option is LOCKED!".

Presently, lockout features are only available through a PC application or the IR Port.
