Hold
HOLD is used more often with Time or Energy modes,
but it can be used with the Manual mode. It is a period of
time that can be set to follow release of the probe’s trigger
switch.
During HOLD the operator typically applies pressure to
the part being welded. Next, the operator hears an audible
alarm that serves as a reminder that HOLD has nished,
and the probe can be lifted.
HOLD does not allow the operator to begin a new cycle
until HOLD is nished.
To set a HOLD period:
1. Select the weld mode (Manual, Time, Energy).
2. Set the time and energy parameters as needed.
3. Press the HOLD key. The screen will appear as it
does in Figure 5-9.
4. Set the time with the
+ -
keys.
(A maximum of 5.0 seconds.)
Figure 5-9A shows a setting for 2.0 seconds.
5. Press the ENTER key to conrm your selection.
Amplitude Adjustment
Amplitude refers to the movement of the horn at its
workface. The higher the amplitude setting, the higher the
power output level will be at a particular pressure level.
Amplitude settings are given as a percent of the horn’s
nominal amplitude in the range of 20% to 100%.
It is typical to leave the amplitude setting at 100% for
maximum power output.
To adjust amplitude:
1. Press the AMP key. The screen will appear as in
Figure 5-10.
2. Set the amplitude level using the keys and the
+ -
keys.
3. Press ENTER to conrm your amplitude setting.
