Setting The Length Of The Arc Average Window - Advanced Energy Pinnacle User Manual

Advanced Energy
When output turns off (output is de-energized), if the hard arc count limit has been
met, the ARC LED will illuminate on the front panel of the power supply (for a pre-
determined amount of time—usually 100 ms) and a signal will be sent to the ARC.D
line on the User port (provided your unit is equipped with a User port interface card).
To set the hard arc count limit:
1. Press PROCESS → ARC → STATS → COUNT.
2. Rotate the MODIFY knob to select a hard arc count limit.
3. Press ENTER to accept and exit.
Note: You can also reset the counters through the menu commands by pressing
Arc Density
PROCESS → ARC → STATS → DENSITY
The hard arc counter counts one arc every time an arc occurs that meets the conditions
set for a hard arc shutdown. See "Setting the ARC Times" on page 4-39 for more
information on how to set your hard arc conditions. The micro arc counter counts one
arc every time an arc occurs. Both counters return to 0 when the output is cycled off
and then back on.
Note: If you disable arc handling, you disable arc shutdowns. However, the micro arc
counter continues to count arcs as they occur.
To see the arc density of your process:
1. Press PROCESS → ARC → STATS → DENSITY.
4 WINDOW, SECOND and RUN options appear.
2. To see the arc average window length, press WINDOW.
3. To see arcs per second, press SECOND.
4. To see arcs per run, press RUN.
5. This display is not zeroed until you turn the output on again.
6. Press EXIT to exit.
Note: You can also reset the counters through the menu commands by pressing
