The PurgeNet Machine Interface revolutionises the Weld Purge Monitor by enabling users to set a minimum parts per million (PPM) level in alignment with the welding parameters.

If the oxygen content in the purge gas drops to this level during welding, the interface triggers an automatic shutdown of the welding power source, temporarily halting the welding process until the PPM level increases again.

This feature is indispensable for critical welds as it guarantees consistent weld quality on every occasion. The interface connects to the port on the Weld Purge Monitor, and it also accommodates an optional PurgeAlarm Visual Alarm Indicator.

Furthermore, the lead facilitates charging for the Weld Purge Monitor and enables communication of oxygen readings through industry-standard 4020A current loop and relay signals.

Additionally, the interface incorporates a power supply that can charge and power the PurgEye using a standard 12-24V supply commonly found in industrial machines.

FAQs
1. What is the PurgeNet Machine Interface?
PurgeNet Machine interface is used for communicating the current oxygen readings from your PurgEye Weld Purge Monitor to another piece of equipment, such as a Welding Power Source.

2. Which Weld Purge Monitors are compatible with the PurgeNet Machine Interface?
The PurgeNet Machine Interface is compatible with the PurgEye 200, 500 Desk, 600, 1000 Remote and 1500 Site.

3. How does the PurgeNet Machine Interface connect?
Essentially, the PurgeNet Machine Interface is a lead that connects to the port on the Weld Purge Monitor. Charging can also be facilitated from this lead as can the use of other PurgeNet accessories.

4. How are oxygen readings communicated?
A minimum PPM level is set on the Weld Purge Monitor by the user, in accordance with the welding parameter, and if during the weld, the oxygen content in the purge gas falls to this, the welding power source automatically switches off, pausing the welding process until the PPM level has risen again. Oxygen readings are communicated through industry standard 4020A current loop and relay signals.
