Configuration operating panel 3.2 Basic settings In this menu, the basic settings for the use of the welding power source are made. 3.2.1 Basic screen Function Description Standard Basic setting of display In this setting, all other display elements are faded out ex- Dark cept for the wire feed and power indicators.
3.2.4 Control voltage mode Control voltages are analogue DC voltages from 0 … 10 Volt. They serve to control the parameters Power, ArcLength and ArcDynamic (dynamics) in the QINEO. Via an input-output-module (I/O module) the control voltages are passed on to the welding power source, for instance by a robot control. The control voltage operation is switched off if the number of control voltages is 0.
Configuration operating panel 3.3.2 MHW 405 TQ This is used to set one of the following parameters for the additional torch buttons. Function Description The "Power", "Fine" (arc length), "Dynamic" and "Job" pa- rameters can be released and varied during the welding process using the torch button.
3.3.4 Job continuation The job continuation is available for welding power sources with a soft- NOTICE! ware version of X.09 or higher. The job continuation can be applied in the 4-cycle and Super-4-cycle operating modes. If job continuation is active in Super 4-cycle, this has priority over the "Step modulation"...
Configuration operating panel 3.4.2 For software version x.10 or higher The compensation is set via an automated measurement. Measurement is started at the operating panel via rotary knob. In the operating modes 2-cycles, 4-cycles, Super-4-cycles and spot welding it is also possible via torch button.

• Ignition control The ignition control monitors the welding start for five seconds. If there is no welding signal within five seconds after start of welding, the error message "Err.24 Arc failure ignition phase" will appear. When the ignition control is off, wire feed will continue in case of a trou- WARNING! ble signal.
Configuration operating panel 3.6 Cooling water monitoring In this menu, the settings for cooling water monitoring are made. Function Description Flow monitoring If there is a pending error message, this signal is Message transmitted for further processing (for instance by a PLC) to the CAN bus for the welding power source.
