1.

Welding data collection: tracking heat input
You can set the device to track the heat input of each weld and provide the welder with heat input values.
To get the heat input value, select Complete Pass. Identify the weld and perform at least one welding run. After this, the
Complete Pass selection appears in Control Pad's Task view.
In heat input calculation the system uses travel speed, welding current, voltage, and welding process information. To cal-
culate the right value for travel speed, enter the length of the weld.
Proceed as follows:
1.
Log in to Control Pad. Identify the WPS and the weld.
>> The device considers all subsequent welding to be part of a pass and takes it into account in heat input cal-
culation.
2.
When you have finished welding, select Complete Pass.
You can also weld several runs, select Complete pass after the last run, and enter the total length of the runs.
Before you can change to another weld or WPS, Control Pad prompts you to complete the pass to ensure that all
data is recorded and documented. This may also happen if you try to select Weld complete, but the pass is not yet
completed.
3.
Enter the welded length (mm). Use the right control knob to change the pass length.
The length may be preset in WeldEye, but you can change it if needed.
