Start-up Sequence
After all connections have been completed.
1. Push the Power Switch to ON (Figure 4-2).
The generator performs a self-diagnostics sequence.
2. Two Power-up screens appear briey - Figure 4-3,
and Figure 4-3A.
3. The next screen is an Operate screen ready for a
new weld to be done. The display shows:
The setup used for the last weld, and zeros for any
weld parameters.
See Figure 4-3B.

Starting a Weld Cycle
1. If the generator is not powered, press its Power
Switch/Circuit Breaker to the ON position.
2. Select the setup you want to use, if appropriate.
3. The generator is ready to start a weld cycle when
the Ultrasound Activate/Cycle Start Input (Pin 12) is
activated.
Stopping the Weld Cycle
Normal Conditions
The cycle stops when the programmed welding cycle ends
if the generator is congured to weld by time or energy.
If it is congured to weld by automation, the cycle ends
when the Ultrasound Activate/Cycle Start Input (Pin 12)
is deactivated.
Emergency Conditions
Manual System
Push the Power Switch to OFF (See Figure 4-2.) to
stop the ultrasound signal. This may be done under any
conditions.
Automated System
Customer-supplied external controls provide the means
to stop the cycle for an automated system.
An auxiliary cable connects these external controls to the
iQ generator at the INPUTS/OUTPUTS connector.
