CHAPTER 3: USING PROGRAMMING FUNCTIONS When the PROGRAM PROTECT is ON> 16. FORCE SETUP & MONITOR Screen This screen is used to set and monitor the force of the electro pneumatic proportional valve. Two electro pneumatic proportional valves can be used. The ANALOG OUT output terminal (voltage output proportional to force) for electro pneumatic proportional valve and the ANALOG IN input terminal (voltage input proportional to force) for force measurement have two channels, respectively.

CHAPTER 3: USING PROGRAMMING FUNCTIONS c. STEP MODE This is the mode to check the force operation of the electro pneumatic proportional valve. In this mode, the force operation can be checked without flowing the welding current. The sequence proceeds to the next in order of SQD, SQZ, WE1, CO/WE2, CO2/WE3, and HOLD by pressing the ENTER key or input the STEP MODE signal.
