Save a report
More details can be found on this function in the
corresponding chapter.
The « record » key
allows to enable or disable the
saving of a report.
The « visualise » key
allows to read the sequence
of spots performed.
③
Use of the advanced modes
The MODE key allows to navigate through 3 different
modes: STANDARD MODE, MULTISHEET MODE, MANUAL
MODE. A long press on the MODE key allows to enter the
configuration mode, where the language and date can be
edited and the sound alarm activated for “current too low”
or “low pressure” messages. The up and down keys (in
the circle) allow to select the parameter to modify (sheet
thickness, type of steel, arm used). The + and – keys
allow to modify the parameter.
④
Save user welding parameters
The « save » key
allows to save user welding
parameters (mode, sheet thickness, welding current,
welding time or electrode force)
The « recall » key
allows to call back previously
saved welding settings. The machine automatically goes
to manual mode, recalling the saved parameters (current,
welding time, force) and the tool used (clamp or gun).
⑤
Steel sheet thickness setting
This setting allows to select the thickness of the steel
sheets to weld. The sheet thickness can be adjusted using
the + and – keys (in the circle, position 5). The thickness
can be selected amongst the following preset values: 0.6,
0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 mm.
⑥
Type of the steel sheet setting
This setting allows to select the type of steel sheet to
weld, amongst 4 families: coated steel, HTS steel, UHTS
steel, BORON steel. This setting can be adjusted using the
+ and – keys.
⑦
Arm used setting
When a clamp is used (either C or X), the user should
specify here the length of the arms fitted on the clamp, so
that the machine will adjust automatically the air pressure
to get the requested electrode force.
