After Advanced Settings is selected, a warning screen
is displayed as shown in Figure 5-13.
Adjusting these settings may affect the operation of
your unit. Before you change a setting, please check
with Dukane personnel for their recommendations.
The warning screen is shown for a few seconds, then,
the Advanced Settings screen appears.
See Figure 5-14.
Adjustments can be made to: Free Run Frequency;
Ramp Up Time; Frequency Lock and Hold; and, Trig-
ger By Power, but note that Trigger by Power is only
available when the weld mode is time or energy.
Free Run Frequency
Free run is the frequency at which the generator
drives the ultrasound ouput pulses until a valid
feedback signal is detected. Typically this value
should be below the operating frequency of the
probe.
Follow the on screen prompts to make setting
adjustments.
Ramp Up Time
This parameter increases the amplitude linearly in
the programmed time period at the start of the weld
from zero to the programmed amplitude level. This
brings the probe up to operating amplitude smoothly
preventing shock stress.
Follow the on screen prompts to make setting
adjustments.
Lock and Hold
For an explanation of Frequency Lock and Hold,
please refer to Application Note 505 found on our
website at:

Follow the on screen prompts to make setting
adjustments.
