Idle Screen Test/Weld Modes
After preparing a program, it is recommended that
the user test the parameters before striking an arc.
The system allows for a test mode of all non-weld
functions such as travel, gas purge/flow, oscillation
and others.
Press the Weld/Test Selection button.
This example shows how to change the system from
the Test Mode to the Weld mode. The icon in the
Selection Button window indicates what mode the
system is in.
Note: Auto Height is not an option while in Test Mode.
Pressing the Start/Stop Control Button will switch the
pendant from the Idle Screen to the Test Screen or
Weld Screen depending on which mode the user is in.
