8.Define the wire feed start delay as desired.

Wire feed start delay is the amount of time between the end of initial current and when the wire feed user relay (see Section 2-3) changes states. A delay time of 0 means the wire feed relay changes state immediately at the end of initial current. A delay time of 3.5 means the relay changes state 3.5 seconds after the end of ini- tial current.

The wire feed relay change cannot be delayed beyond the end of weld current. When weld current ends, the wire feed relay changes states whether or not the de- fined start delay time has elapsed.

The range for start delay time is 0.0 to 25.0 seconds, in increments of 0.1 seconds.

10.Define the wire feed stop delay as desired.

Wire feed stop delay is the amount of time between the end of weld current and when the wire feed user relay (see Section 2-3) change states. A delay time of 0 means the wire feed relay changes state immediately at the end of weld current. A delay time of 7.0 means the relay changes state 7.0 seconds after the end of weld current.

The wire feed relay change cannot be delayed beyond the end of postflow. When postflow ends, the wire feed relay changes states whether or not the defined stop delay time has elapsed.

The range for stop delay time is 0.0 to 25.0 seconds, in increments of 0.1 seconds.

12.If desired, press Start/Increase on the Remote Pend- ant to carry out a dry run of the program (see Section 5-7 for information on the dry run feature). To place the microprocessor control in the Ready condition, press Right/Increase.

13.In the Ready condition the microprocessor control is ready to have another program entered or to execute a program. For information on executing a program, refer to Section 6.

5-3. Semi-Automatic Mode

NOTE

If needed, see Section 5-1B for

information on selecting and defining

 

a parameter.

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE

Weld output options, such as the use

of pulsing, high frequency, and ac or

 

dc output, affect how a program is

 

 

entered in the Semi-Automatic

 

mode. Be sure to follow all applicable

 

steps, and only the applicable steps,

 

as determined by the selected

 

options.

 

 

 

 

NOTE

This section covers program entry in

all five Semi-Automatic modes .

 

Differences between one mode and

 

 

another are stated. Be sure the

 

desired Semi-Automatic mode has

 

been defined on DIP switch SW1

 

(see Section 2-4) before using the

 

following procedure to enter a

 

program.

 

 

A.Procedure Up To Pulse Mode Selection

1.Turn on welding power source, if applicable.

2.Place the Mode Selector switch in the Semi-Automatic position.

3.Place the Program/Run/Reset keyed switch in the Re- set position, and then in the Program position. The initial displays will be shown.

4.When the repeating displays (explained in Section 5-1F) are shown, press Right/Increase.

If the Process Selector switch is in the ac output posi- tion, go to Step 5. If the Process Selector switch is in a dc output position, go to Step 8.

5.The display shows:

# 0 X B A L A N C E C O N T R O L

E N = X X % E P = X X %

6.If applicable, define the program number (see Section 5-1C). Define the electrode negative value for the ac output square wave (see Section 4-3) as desired.

The range for percentage of waveform in electrode negative is 46% to 68%, in increments of 2%.

7.Press Right/Increase, and go to Step 8.

8.The display shows:

H I G H F R E Q U E N C Y

>X X X X X X X X X <

9.Press Parameter Select to display the desired choice.

If the Process Selector switch is in the ac output posi- tion, the choices are Start Only high frequency or Continuous high frequency.
