Basic configuration using plug-in jumpers

5.2 Basic configuration using plug-in jumpers
The RINT X12 has a series of jumpers to configure various basic settings that cannot be changed during
operation.
These settings must be made before switching on the power source!
5.2.1

Select the welding-system

The welding system to be used must be selected by means of jumper 16. Operation is not possible if the
pre-set value is incorrect. The states of all the relays will change constantly and simultaneously to indi-
cate this once the system starts. In this case, the system must be switched off and the jumper setting cor-
rected.

Selecting the input logic

Jumpers 4 and 5 are used to modify the physical logic of the input signals to the automation control. The
RINT X12 supports both a positive and a negative actuation logic. With the positive logic, switching on
actuates active signals at +24 V. With the negative logic, an active signal is taken to earth and a positive
input level (above pull-up) is interpreted as a "low" signal.

Combinations other than those shown in the table lead to undesirable behavior!
5.2.3

Main control signal standardisation

Jumpers 1 and 2 can be configured to modify the main control signal. In this process, the actuation range
for the WF value (MIG/MAG) or the welding current setpoint value (TIG) is modified according to the con-
figuration for control signal operation.

The nominal system current comes from the type designation and is automatically detected by the

RINT X12 when the system is switched on.
5.2.4

Selecting the JOB counting method

The counting method for welding characteristics (JOBs) usually is 1 to 255. The values are stored in an 8
bit field so that, in general, 256 JOBs can be selected. System displays are compatible with the JOB
counting method 1 to 255. The possibility to select all 256 JOBs at the power source can be configured
with jumper 3. In this case, the counting method starts with the value 0 for JOB 1.
