II Plus and EZ Welder System – User’s Manual
Press the MODE key to display the Process Setup
menu. In Process Setup, the cursor should be point-
ing to Process Control as shown in Figure 7–5. If
it is not, press the up–arrow and down–arrow key
to navigate the triangle pointer to select Process
Control. Press the
ENTER key to activate the se-
lected menu.
Since the DPC II Plus reconfigures the user inter-
face to be consistent with the installed modules,
only the portion of the menu structure relating to
hand probe operation is displayed. The only op-
tion for the Process Control screen is the Trigger
Method which is shown in Figure 7–6.
The flow chart for the Process Control menu with
a hand probe connected is shown in Figure 7–7. If
you do not have a Power Output module installed,
the Energy Weld Method will not be displayed.
Untimed Hand Probe
Untimed Hand Probe operation has no parameters
to enter. The generator is triggered whenever the
hand probe trigger is engaged and continues until
the trigger is released. Press ENTER and you are
ready to weld (RTW).
Timed Hand Probe
In Timed Hand Probe mode, the welding stops when-
ever the trigger is released or the specified weld time
