7.2 Data entry (general description)
The majority of data can be entered either manually or by means of a barcode scanner.
Barcode scanner
A barcode is read in in that a barcode scanner is held at a distance of about 5 - 10 cm in front of the
barcode. If the barcode scanner is in Standby mode, shortly press the button on the handgrip of the
scanner; the scanner switches on. The red line displays the reading area. Press the button on the handgrip
again. The barcode is read in. If the data is recognised and stored correctly a signal tone sounds and the
read in data are displayed as clear text (numbers / letters) on the welding equipment display. If the
scanned in barcode matches the expected barcode, the welding equipment also confirms the correctness
of the barcode with a signal (for example the welding equipment does not accept it if, at the point in the
welding process at which the fitting barcode should be scanned in, the barcode for the fitting traceability
is scanned in instead).
Attention! A class 2 laser – never look directly into the laser beam!
Manual Input of data (letters and numbers)
Using manual entry allows both data, such as the name of the welder or the construction site, or also the
number sequences which are encoded in the barcode, to be entered, for a case where this is illegible or
the barcode reading device is defective. Letters and numbers can be entered over the displayed alpha-
numeric keyboard. The letters or numbers are located (selected) by the arrow keys. Press OK to confirm
the selection. Press the > <and > OK < buttons, one after the other, after completing the data entry.
Letters and characters can be deleted by actuating the >STOP< button.
