6.OPTIONAL DUAL PROCEDURE/MEMORY PANEL OPERATION

The Dual Procedure/Memory Panel performs three functions:

Weld procedure selection

Memory save and recall

Limits setting

There are two procedure memories (A and B) and six user memories (1-6).

Procedure Memory vs. User Memory

Procedure memory is used while welding. Changes to the weld procedure (WFS, voltage, arc control, etc.) immediately change the contents inside the selected procedure memory. Procedure memory saving is done automatically.

User memories work by copying the weld procedure from one of the six memories into either the A or B procedure. Weld procedures are saved into the mem- ories only when the operator chooses.

Using Procedure Memories

Procedure memories can be selected by choosing either "A" or "B" procedure directly with the memory panel, or by selecting "GUN" and using a dual proce- dure gun to select between procedure "A" and "B". When selecting procedures with the gun switch, "A" or "B" will flash to show which procedure is active.

LIMIT SETTING

Each user memory can be optionally configured to limit the user’s range of control over some user interface set- tings. By default, user limits are not enabled. To set lim- its for a selected memory, first select a weld mode and perform a memory save. Next, press and hold the mem- ory button for five seconds. Release the memory button when the memory LED begins to blink rapidly and the Mode Select Panel displays indicate "Set Limits".

If the passcode has been set to a value other than zero, the user will be prompted to enter it. If the passcode is zero, the Mode Select Panel will immediately display the Limit Setup menu and the SETUP LED will illuminate:

The above example shows a wire mode, constant current weld modes would show "Weld Amps" rather than "Weld WFS".

There are four items displayed on each Limit Setup screen. The long alphanumeric display shows the selected attribute (e.g. Weld WFS,Volts, etc.). The short alphanumeric displays show the selected attribute’s high and low user limits. The 7-segment displays show the value that is copied to procedure memory when a memo- ry recall is performed.
