Overview

The iQ Series generator, model ES, is usually part of a

system.

Main components of the system are:

• iQ generator,

• iQ Explorer (software),

• iQ Explorer User Interface (HMI),

or computer (user supplied), and

• iQ Press System.

With this type of system, the user controls nearly all aspects

of the welding process with the iQ Explorer User Interface

(HMI) or a computer (user supplied), using iQ Explorer.

In addition the press, acoustic stack and any tooling are

adjusted as necessary.

For additional information about the other key Dukane

components of the system, see these User Manuals:

• iQ Explorer (Part No. 403-579-00), and

• iQ Press System ES (Part No. 403-569-00).

Start-up

The main power switch for the iQ Series generator is found

on the generator's rear panel. When that switch is in the ON

position, the front panel power button is RED (standby).

When the front panel power button is pressed, the button
