5. Calibration mode (optional)
As an additional function of the
WeldScanner, you have the option of
unlocking the ‘Calibration mode’. This
mode enables you to calibrate welding
devices, as well as manage and print calibration
reports. If you didn’t order this function, this icon is
missing from the menu bar.
Press this button to start calibration mode. The
calibration start screen appears.
Creating a calibration report
The left-hand side of the screen (Fig 1), lists all
previously calibrated welding devices, including
date and time, device type and serial number.
Select an ‘old’ calibration and click the ‘View’
button to view, print and save a previously created
report. Click the ‘New’ button to create a new
report for this machine.
If your machine is not listed in the overview (e.g.
new purchase), a sample report is shown, which
can be amended accordingly.
At the right-hand side of the screen, you can make
selections to search for device type or serial
number.
The ‘New’ button brings up the
‘Select welding machine’ and ‘Begin calibrating’
screen (Fig 1).
Setting up and starting calibration
At the left-hand side of the screen (Fig 2), you can
type directly into a report of your choice to
customise it for the respective customer, as well as
to add your own data
and logo.
Date and time are created automatically.
The right-hand side is where all the machine’s
technical data and desired
accuracy class are entered. These are then
automatically included in the report.
Click the ‘Wire’ or ‘Voltage/Current’ buttons to
begin calibration.
