GLUE MODE :
In the SETTINGS menu shown above, a specific mode can be selected in case there is glue in between the steel sheets to
be welded. In this case, a GLUE mode can be switched ON or OFF in this menu. If the GLUE mode is activated, a pre-spot is
performed prior to the welding spot. The duration of this pre-spot is selected in milliseconds, from 0 to 400ms, by
increments of 50ms. When this mode is selected, the text « GLUE » appears in the welding modes STANDARD, MANUAL,
MULTI, GYSTEEL.
Error management
Different events might cause the appearance of error messages. They can be classified in
three categories:
♦
General Warnings: i.e overheating, lack of electrode force or welding current, etc…
These messages appear on the screen, and remain until a key is pressed.
♦
Installation Errors (air pressure, electrical power supply).
♦
Major Faults: These defects cause the display of an error message that locks the
machine
♦
The thermal protection relies on a thermostat located on the diode bridge, this feature
will lock the machine, and display the message “overheating”
Low battery (clock) :
The message « Low battery (clock) » appears after switch ON of the machine and alerts
the user that the voltage of the battery on the command board is too low. This battery
ensures the saving of the date and time when switching OFF the machine.
Tool out of order :
The message « Tool out of order » appears after switch ON of the machine and alerts the
user that a button or trigger is constantly pressed, or a permanent short-circuit is
detected. Control the trigger of the gun, as well as the buttons on the clamps in order to
make this message disappear.
Current too low :
If the welding current measured during the spot is 6% less than the setting, the
machine will display the error message “Current too low” - the welding spot should be
checked.
A message will be displayed at the end of every welding spot, showing the measured
welding current. This message is displayed on the screen until a key on the control
panel is pressed, or until a new welding spot is performed, by pressing the B button on
the clamp.
If the machine cannot deliver the requested current, then the following message
appears. The welding spot is not performed, and the message must be acknowledged
to perform a welding spot.
