4.9 Horn Down
Use the following procedure to check your horn-to-fixture alignment
and/or Mechanical Stop setting:
1. Press HORN DOWN.
2. Press the PALM BUTTONS simultaneously and hold until the TRS is
active (indicated by a single beep). At this point you may release the
PALM BUTTONS.

While you are in HORN DOWN, the NUMERIC DISPLAY will indicate horn
travel.
4.10 Converter Cooling
The standard converter cooling method used on Branson integrated
welders is to direct the exhaust air from the cylinder, through the
converter.
Converter performance and reliability can be adversely affected if
subjected to temperatures in excess of 140°F/60°C. The converter front
driver temperature should not exceed 122T/50°C.
Note:
Additional heat will be generated if the
converter-booster-horn interfaces need reconditioning. Be
sure the stack is in good condition and properly assembled.
Check if your converter is operating at too high a temperature immediately
after substantial welder operation and without ultrasonics applied to the
horn. To check the temperature, tape a pyrometer or similar temperature
measuring device onto the front driver (nose piece) of the converter
assembly.
Wait for the device to reach the temperature of the driver. If this
temperature is 120°F/48°C or higher, your equipment requires additional
cooling. Contact Branson for further assistance.
