2) PURPOSE OF THE MANUAL

The purpose of this manual is to provide authorised technical ser-vicing centres the information required for repairing Genesis 260GSM (TLH and PME) and Genesis 350 GSM (TLH and PME) .To avoid serious damage to people and things, this manual mustbe used strictly by qualified technicians.What is involved in a repair job?: identifying the faulty part - asthis part is included in the list of available spare parts - andreplacing it according to the procedures described below.If an electronic card is faulty, repair entails replacing the cardand not replacing the faulty electronic component on the carditself.We suggest two diagnosis procedures on two levels: at the firstlevel, simple initial action instruments/tools are used, at the se-cond level, more sophisticated instruments/tools are used. Level two obviously ensures a quicker, surer diagnosis.

5) DESCRIPTION OF MACHINE OPERATION.

5.0) General methods explainedIn the text, unless otherwise specified, when a measurement istaken between a pair of terminals, e.g. a-aa, it is understoodthat the red probe of the multimeter (or the oscilloscope probe)is placed on the left terminal (on a in this example), whereas theblack probe (or the on ground lead of the oscilloscope) is pla-ced on the right terminal (on aa in this example).

FIG. 6

In the figures, when an arrow is shown between two measuringpoints, the tip indicates where to place the red probe (or theoscilloscope probe), whereas the black probe (or the oscillosco-pe ground wire) is placed at the other end. The connector terminals are indicated with the name of theconnector itself, followed by a bar and the terminal number;e.g. CN1/2 is terminal 2 of connector CN1.

When measuring a signal on the pins of the integrated circuits,the latter are numbered as follows:

86 Description of machine operation

5.1) Input filter card (15.14.193) (a) (see fig. 7)

Supply voltage 3 x 400 Vac is applied to the terminals of card15.14.193 (a) (see fig. 8) , which contains the mains over-volta-ges suppression circuit , consisting of three varistors (see note 1)and the radio-noise suppression circuit (see note 2) connected toground. The PE terminal of the card, to which the yellow-green powercable is connected, is electrically connected to the machine'smetal parts, both via a yellow-green cable and via a metalcolumn.

IMPORTANT ! : When the machine is connected tothe mains, the filter card is powered, irrespective ofthe position of the power switch. We, therefore,advise you to unplug the power plug before acces-sing the machine's internal parts.

NOTE 1 : If the electrical component know as a varistor is pla-ced between the two power supply phases, when an instanta-neous voltage in excess of 460 V appears on its terminals, thevaristor very rapidly becomes conductive, absorbing a currentpeak which is sufficient to limit the said over-voltage and it thusprotects the other parts of the machine.This process has no destructive effect on the component if theenergy generated by the voltage peak is low, as in the case ofatmospheric lightning strikes. If, however, over-voltage is highand prolonged, the varistor cannot dissipate this high energyand blows. This happens if, for example, the machine is wrongly connectedto 460 Vac mains voltage, or following over-voltage caused bynon stabilised power units of inadequate capacity.

NOTE 2 : The radio noise suppression circuit has two purposes:to keep the machine's radio frequency emissions within limitsspecified by standards and to ensure the machine's immunityagainst the same type of problems caused by any electronicdevices connected to the same power supply source.The filter consists of a network of capacitors, some of which aregrounded, and a toroidal inductor.

5.2) On switch (b) - contactor (c) - pre-loading resistor (d). (seefig. 9)

The three power phases at output of card 15.14.193 (400 Vacbetween cables n° 1 , 2 , 3) are switched by contactor (c). Voltage obtained from the two phases (400 Vac between cablesn° 1 , 2), used to power the control circuits and the auxiliarydevices, is switched by the power switch (b). When the power switch is ON, the contacts of contactor L1-T1e L2-T2 are short-circuited respectively by cables n° 1 - 40 andby cables n° 2 -00 - 22 - the latter in series with the pre-loadingresistors (d) (= two 47 Ohm in series).As immediately after the machine is powered-up the contacts ofthe contactor stay open for a set time (a few seconds), the bankof levelling capacitors (card 15.14.158) is pre-loaded through theabove circuit (and the bridge rectifier).The contactor coil is commanded by 230 Vac supplied by the auxi-liary transformer (the coil is switched by the power switch contactand by a triac fitted on card 15.14.158 as shown in fig. 10) . At the end of pre-loading, card 15.14.158 commands thepower contactor to close, and therefore, 0 V is measured at theends of the contactor coil during pre-loading, and 230 Vacafter pre-loading.

IMPORTANT ! : When accessing the internal partsof the machine, remember that opening the onswitch does not mean that the risk of electricalshocks is avoided. We, therefore, advise you tounplug the power plug.

5.3) rectifier bridge (e) - levelling capacitors and protective cir-cuits card (f). (see fig. 11)

When the contactor is closed, the 3-phase supply voltage isapplied to the rectifier bridge (400 Vac between cables n° 40 ,22 , 33), consisting of two integrated modules (see fig. 12), withits output (+ = cable n° 5 , - = cables n° 6) connected to thebank of capacitors laid out in two groups of 5 capacitors in serieswith each other.When the machine is in open circuit status, the voltage recti-fied at the ends of the above capacitors (between + and - offig. 13) is levelled at 560 Vdc (= 400 Vac x 2), whereas whenthe power source is at full load, the voltage has a 300 Hz rip-ple, (see fig. 13). The voltage on each capacitor is half the value of the rectifiedvoltage (between + and -).Card 15.14.158 checks the level of the latter voltage, by sendingto the control logic card (15.14.149) either an overvoltage alarmsignal if the value exceeds approximately 670 Vdc, or an under-voltage alarm signal if the value is below 440 Vdc. The previous values correspond respectively to about 470 Vacand 310 Vac of mains power. A voltage value in excess of thepermissible limits must continue for a few seconds to trip theprotective device. The above mentioned signals can be obtained in TP2 (overvol-tage alarm) and TP1 (undervoltage alarm) from card15.14.158 (or in CN2/3 and CN2/4) :

9.5 (+/-1)V if alarm is NOT active (see note)0 if alarm is active.

(ground on card 15.14.152, see fig. 14)

Card 15.14.158 also receives a 15 Vdc supply from card15.14.152;+ 15 Vdc can be measured on pin 5 of integratedcircuit IC3 (ground on card 15.14.152, see fig. 13-14) .Further, the following triacs are fitted on the card :

- power supply to power source fan (SVP)- power supply to cooling unit (SCHUKO rear

socket) (SWCP)- contactor coil command (STP)

These circuits operate as follows (see fig. 15) .When the machine is powered up, the control logic card(15.14.149) sends to card 15.14.158 the command for powe-ring the triacs supplying the fans and the cooling unit (+5Vdc =ON respectively in CN2/6 and in CN2/7 of card 15.14.158; 0= OFF, ground at pin 4 of integrated circuit IC5 of card15.14.158 or ground of card 15.14.152 - see relevant part). As a result, the following must be obtained in MMA :

0 Vac between terminal T1 of power switch (cable n° 23) and CN1/2 of card 15.14.158 (cable n° 03) with the cooling unit ON

and

230 Vac between terminal T1 of power switch(cable n° 23) and CN1/1 of card 15.14.158 (cable n° 04)

When changing over from TIG or MIG to MMA, the cooling unitis immediately turned OFF. If no welding is done for five minutes while TIG or MIG is selec-ted, the commands to the cooling and fan units are cancelled.Furthermore, card 15.14.158 commands the coil of the powercontactor a few seconds after the machine is powered up (230Vac between the terminals of the contactor coil, i.e. betweencables n° 4 and 9 at end of pre-loading time).

5.4) power inverter (g) - driver card of IGBTs (h) - power invertercontrol card (i) - resonance inductance (k) - power transformer (l)- welding current transducer (Hall effect sensor) (n) . (see fig. 16)

Direct voltage output by card 15.14.158 is applied to the powerinverter. The inverter consists of two IGBT power modules, each housingtwo IGBTs as shown in the diagram in fig. 17. By using a mul-timeter set for the diode test, and referring to the previousfigure, you can check all the connections of the four IGBTs,obtaining

C - E = OPENE - C = 0.4

and using a multimeter set to Ohm :B - E = 10 kOhm

(however, even if this test is positive, the inverter may never-theless be faulty).Card 15.14.200 generates the command signals to the powerIGBTs; the signal shown in fig. 18 (power source set to MMAand without output load) is obtained between the four pairsof small cables on the left. The frequency of these signalsvaries according to the current supplied by the power sourceand is in the range from approximately 47 kHz at low load to30 kHz at maximum load.

IMPORTANT ! : While current is supplied at theoutput of the power source, we advise you to mea-sure the command signals of the power IGBTs.

IMPORTANT ! : The measuring instrument must notbe grounded (see chapter 9).

IMPORTANT ! : If one of the IGBT modules fails,card 15.14.200 must also be replaced simulta-neously.

The voltage between the Collector and Emitter of the powerIGBTs connected between ~ and - is shown in fig. 17 (do not takethis measurement on the IGBTs connected between + and ~). Important: the signal of the module on the right is different fromthe one on the left. Card 15.14.176, to which the power IGBTs are secured, alsohouses the switch-off circuit consisting of two auxiliary IGBTsand two diodes secured to the vertical radiator by springs, butelectrically separated by rubber tape. Fig. 17 shows how tocheck the connections of the switch-off IGBTs, by using amultimeter set for the diode test :

C - E = OPENE - C = 0.4

and using a multimeter set to Ohm :B - E = 22 Ohm

(however, even if this test is positive, the inverter may be faulty).The command to the auxiliary IGBTs is supplied by 15.14.200;the signal shown in fig. 18 is measured between two pairs ofsmall cables on the right (machine set to MMA and open cir-cuit at output).The inductance fitted on printed circuit 15.14.191 or15.14.241 (in the more recent machine versions) are part of thisauxiliary circuit.


The overall effect of a correctly operating switch-off circuit is togenerate a voltage signal between the Collector and Emitter ofthe IGBTs of the right-hand module, with a soft slope-up andslope-down (not steep as in the case of the left-hand module).The power inverter control card 15.14.152 checks the weldingcurrent according to the current reference it receives from card15.14.149 (reference signal = 1V in TP8 or in CN2/13 of card15.14.149, means that welding current request = 100 A;ground = TP2 - see fig. 19) and according to measurement ofthe current supplied by the power source which receives it fromthe Hall sensor (signal from Hall probe = 1 V in CN2/2 of card15.14.152 means 50 A supplied in the case of G 260 ; signalfrom Hall sensor = 1 V in CN2/2 of card 15.14.152 means125 A supplied in the case of G 350 ; ground = CN2/3 - seefig. 20) .The signal received from the Hall sensor is amplified and trans-mitted to card 15.14.149 (for subsequent display).Moreover, card 15.14.152 provides the Hall sensor with thefollowing supply voltages:

CN2/4 + 15 Vdc CN2/1 - 15 Vdc

both measured with respect to CN2/3 (ground). (see fig. 20)In version 9 of card 15.14.152, LEDs L1 and L3 must both beOFF with power supply cut off.The power inverter output consists of an inductive-capacitiveload and a power transformer. The capacitors are fitted on thelower part of card 15.14.176, whereas inductance L1 is locatedat the front of the machine.Power transformer T1 transfers power to the output circuits.On all versions of card 15.14.152, the current supplied on theabove load can be measured at the terminals of the power resi-stor, that one, of the shunt resistors group, situated more to theright on the card (see fig. 20 - the signal at the indicated pointis actually rectified current). The ground is easier to obtain on the stabiliser indicated in fig.20. The wave shapes for T1 current are shown below for thefollowing cases:

(NOTE : when examining the preceding wave shapes, remem-ber that they may be affected by electromagnetic noise of vary-ing intensity).In open circuit state, the inverter (e.g. when MMA operationmode is selected) supplies mains voltage of approximately 80 Vto 400 V, measured between the + and - output terminals.The configuration of microswitches of card 15.14.152, version 9,is also shown.

IMPORTANT ! : The change in configuration of themicroswitches of card 15.14.152 is insufficient foradapting the card to the different machinesizes/models, because trimmer settings also vary.

5.5) Control logic card (j) (see fig. 21)

The main purpose of the control logic card is to generate thecurrent reference signal for the power inverter control card, byprocessing the information for the welding parameters acquiredoutside. This information is received from the following, according tosystem configuration:

A - RC10/RC08 (front panel FP62 or FP73)B - front panel FP91/FP111/FP108/FP136

Case A : Received data include those that can be set on the key-board. Transmission is effected digitally through the two opticfibres connected to the connectors of fig. 23 (blue terminal toblue connector; grey terminal to black connector) and to J20(see fig. 22). If RC08/RC10 fails to receive or receives incor-rectly, it displays the alarm message. This can occur also if themicroswitches of card 15.14.149 are incorrectly configured (seefig. 24). (See note 1) .Case B : Received data include those that can be set on thepanel. Transmission is effected digitally via the flat cable con-nected to CN6 on15.14.149.If FP91/FP11/FP108/FP136 fails to receive or receives incor-rectly, it displays the alarm message. This can occur also if themicroswitches of card 15.14.149 are incorrectly configured (seefig. 24).

Moreover, other information can be received from remote con-trols if operation with external reference is selected :

- RC16/RC12 (front panel FP62 or FP91 or FP111)

- RC07 (with WF103 wire feeder, wire bundle and interface card 15.14.162)

In the case of RC16, the received data is the welding currentreference in MMA or TIG (with the external reference selectedon RC10/RC08 or on front panel FP91 or FP111); in the case ofRC12, the welding start signal is received in addition to the cur-rent reference. The current reference (analog signal in valuerange of 0 to 5 Vdc) and the start signal (relay contact OPEN=OFF, CLOSE = ON) are received via the flat cable connectedto 15.14.149 (CN6). The value of requested current and theinformation on the presence of the start signal are transmittedfor display from 15.14.149 to RC08/RC10 or to front panelFP91 or FP111, as the case may be.The card also supplies 5 Vdc power for the potentiometers insi-de RC16 and RC12. This 5 Vdc can be measured directly onthe connector of the front panel between points A and B.The data received via RC07 are the wire speed reference andthe correction of welding voltage level in MIG (with the exter-nal reference selected on RC10/RC08). The data, acquired from the wire feeder, are transmitted firstlydigitally via two optic fibres of the cable bundle and, later, viathe connection, inside the machine, between the connector(J23 on the machine rear panel - see fig. 22) and card15.14.162 (blue terminal to blue connector, grey terminal toblack connector).Further, card 15.14.162 performs switching of the 42 Vacpower for the wire feeder, through a relay. When operating in MIG, 42 Vac is measured between cablesn° 43 (fuse-holder terminal) and n° 45 (connector CN2 ofcard 15.14.162; this voltage is measured at the same condi-tions also between terminals C and E of the connector if fuseF2 = 6.3 A is sound.

FIG. 21


The main power supplies of the card are measured as followswith respect to TP2 (= ground) (see fig. 23) :

TP5 = +15VdcTP12 = -15VdcTP1 = +5Vdc

The current reference processed by card 15.14.149 is measu-red on the TP8 of the card itself (1V = 100A), with respect toTP2 (ground).The power release signal is measured between pin 8 of inte-grated circuit IC15 and TP2 (0= power cut out; 5 Vdc =power released).When the power is released the card commands, lighting of LEDL3 on the front panel.The 15.14.149 card also measures welding voltage for the follo-wing purposes:in MMA :

- hotstart function (current increase at first impact of electrode on piece)

- arc-force function (increase of current at short-circuit of electrode on piece)

- anti-stick protection function (if the short-circuit at the previous point continues)

in TIG (lift) :- current limitation when electrode short-

circuitedin TIG (h.f.) :

- current increase following sparkingin MIG :

- adjustment of welding average voltage

and, in general, display of arc voltage on RC or on the frontpanel.Therefore, with the power source set to MMA, voltage ofapproximately 90 Vdc should be measured between cablesn° 72-73 of connector CN5. When the machine is configuredto multi-function, the card receives also voltage output byWF103 to take a more accurate measurement, taking intoaccount the voltage drop on the cable bundle (electrical conti-nuity between the Binzel MIG connector of the wire feederand CN5/11 of card 15.14.159 = cable n° 46).Card 15.14.149 also measures welding current, obtaining thesignal from card 15.14.152 for the following purposes :

- display of welding current on RC or front panel- processing of the "arc present" signal for the

robot interface panel (contact between R-S terminals of connector FP73)

- protection if current level exceeds the maximumspecified level for a few tenths of a second.

Other outputs of the card:- h.f. discharge command to card 15.14.159

(see par. 5.8)- command of TIG solenoid-valve (24 Vac between

output cable n° 24 of the transformer and cable n° 26, terminal CN7/5, of card 15.14.149)

- fan command to card 15.14.158 (see par. 5.2)- cooling unit command to card 15.14.158

(see par. 5.2)

Card inputs :- signal coming from the pressure switch (CN5/2

= 0 with respect to TP2 if pump is operating)for control of the cooling liquid shortage alarm(see Note 2)

- overvoltage and undervoltage signals coming fromcard 15.14.158, passing through 15.14.152 (see par. 5.2), for control of the relevant alarms

- thermal protection signal coming from the two overtemperature detection devices on the radia-tor of the inverter and of the output rectifier, con-nected in series. This signal is taken to card 15.14.176 (CN7) and is passes through card 15.14.152 (input CN5, output CN3) before reaching card 15.14.149.

NOTE 1 : Functional verification of an optical fibre cable is verysimple: expose one end to a flashing light (e.g. a lamp with itsbeam interrupted by waving a finger over the end of the opticalfibre) and check the brightness variation at the other end.

NOTE 2 : The signal coming from the pressure switch (through4-pole connector J4 on rear panel FP71, see fig. 22) indicatesthe presence of pressure in the hydraulic circuit, but not if aliquid flow is also present (a flowmeter would be necessary todo this).Of the two contacts, the N.O. (normally open) contact is the oneused and therefore :open contact = pressurised circuitclosed contact = non pressurised circuit

5.6) secondary rectifying circuit and snubber card (m) - outputfilter (o) - welding current levelling inductance (p) (see fig. 25)

The secondary rectifying circuit, which serves to convert trans-former output current into direct current, consists of two pairsof modules (see fig. 26, enabling control of connections). Eachpair, connected to a terminal on the power transformer, rectifiesthe corresponding current half-wave. The snubber card consistsof a resistive-capacitive circuit, and serves to protect the diodes. The levelling inductance improves continuity of welding current.The output filter consists of both a resistive-capacitive circuit fit-ted to card 15.14.174 and capacitors connected directly bet-ween the + and - output terminals of the power source. Themain purpose is to prevent the h.f. discharge from entering thepower source and help sparking of the electrical arc. The voltage feedback signal received by tocard 15.14.149 isalso obtained from card. 15.14.174 via cables n° 72-73.

5.7) Auxiliary transformer (r ) (see fig. 27)

This is used to generate voltages supplying system's auxiliary cir-cuits (fan, etc.) and the electronic cards, commencing from theinput voltage of 400 Vac.Fuse F1 (4A, 250V), accessible from the machine rear panel,protects the transformer itself. 230 Vac is generated by the primary winding and, therefore, itis not isolated with respect to mains voltage. It powers :

- the fan (when commanded by the control logic)- the cooling unit (when commanded by the

control logic)- the H.F. discharge generation card (CN3/2 -

CN3/4)- the contactor (when commanded by the

control logic)

The 42 Vac transformer secondary winding (for powering thewire feeder when commanded by the control logic) is protectedby fuse F2 (6.3 A, 250V), accessible from the machine rearpanel.

5.8) H.F. transformer (t) - H.F. discharge generation and TIG (u)torch push-button isolation card (see fig. 28)

The H.F. discharge generation circuit (card 15.14.159) and theH.F. transformer create a set of high voltage pulses (several thou-sand volts) to spark the TIG H.F. welding arc. These pulses, generated commencing with the 230 Vac presentbetween CN3/2 - CN3/4 (cables n° 0 - 23) , begin when the cardreceives - in CN1 - the command supplied by card 15.14.149 andare repeated until the current is sparked and, in any event, for nolonger than a maximum time of approximately 3 s.The command signal measured between pins 1 and 2 of theIC1 integrated circuit is of approximately 1.5 Vdc.During H.F. discharge on card 15.14.159, the signal in fig. 29is present at the ends of the thyristor. Another important function of the card is to galvanically isolatethe signal coming from the TIG torch push-button. The following are present between CN2/1 and CN2/2:

5.10) Front panel (s) - auxiliary transformer for FP73 (x)(see fig. 31-32-33-34)

FP91 - FP111 (see fig. 32) : FP 111 is the latest development of the FP91 panel.These are local interfaces for MMA - TIG machines and, therefore, enable the operator to view/modify welding data (they have noadjusting function).There is, however, an exception to the above: data received from RC12 or RC16 transit only through the panel and are acquireddirectly by the control logic card (15.14.149) which returns the data to the panel, for display purposes, in digital form by a 40-wayflat cable. The settable parameters are listed in the following table (FP111):

The procedure used and the set parameters are stored in the memory, recalled and controlled when the machine is powered up.If they are found to be altered during control, the card shuts down the machine and displays the alarm.The panel is powered by 12 Vac (cables n° 94 - 95 of CN2) auxiliary transformer and internally generates +5Vdc, the presenceof which is signalled by a green LED on the front panel.

FP108 - FP136 (see fig. 34) : FP136 is the latest development of the FP108 panel.These are local interfaces for MIG - MMA machines and, therefore, enable the operator to view/modify welding data (they have noadjusting function).The settable parameters are listed in the following table (FP108-FP136):

The procedure used and the set parameters are stored in the memory, recalled and controlled when the machine is powered up.If they are found to be altered during control, the card shuts down the machine and displays the alarm.The panel is powered by 12 Vac (cables n° 94 - 95 of CN2) auxiliary transformer and internally generates +5Vdc, the presenceof which is signalled by a green LED on the front panel.

FP62 (see fig. 31) : data coming to and from RC10 or RC08 (connected to the connector on the right) and those coming from RC12or RC16 (connected to the connector on the left) transit only through the panel and are acquired or transmitted directly by the con-trol logic card (15.14.149) .This also applies to data transmission to and from the PC, via the 9-way connector located at the top (RS232). The welding programof RC10 or RC08 can be updated via this connector.Power supplied by the auxiliary 12 Vac transformer (cables n° 94 - 95 of CN2) is transferred to pins C and E of the connectorat the right, to supply RC08/RC10.

Card 15.14.147 receives the command from MIG torch push-button (push-button ON = 0 V , push-button OFF = 35 Vdcbetween CN3/9 - CN3/10 of card 15.14.147; cables n° 3 - n.4).It transmits the command to the power source and receivesfrom it the start signal and speed reference digitally through twooptic fibres connected to J4 (fig. 38) and to the connectors infig. 39 (blue terminal to blue connector; grey terminal to blackconnector). The cable bundle, also supplied with two opticfibres, effects connection between the wire feeder and powersource. (For a functional check of the optic fibres, see note 1 atpoint 5.5).The card internally generates voltages 5 Vdc , +15 Vdc , -15Vdc which can be measured at the points indicated in fig. 39(with respect to ground). Card 15.14.147 controls motor speed, at all times comparingthe speed reference with the encoder feedback signal. Theencoder is powered by 15.14.147 (5 Vdc between cables n° 21- n° 20 (= ground) and supplies variable frequency signal inlinear manner according to speed (at 11m/min 2,6kHz , see fig.39A ; at 22m/min 5,2kHz see fig. 39B between cables n° 19- n° 20 (= ground).The voltage supplied by the card to the motor terminals(cables n° 22 - n° 23) is about 17,5Vdc at 11m/min, andabout 35Vdc at 22m/min (without wire feeding), and is gene-rated commencing with 42 Vac supplied by the power sourcevia the cable bundle.

The card receives - via the serial line of front panel FP 60 - thespeed reference and the arc voltage correction set by RC07 (onRC08/RC10, if the outside reference is selected) and transmitsthese data to the power source.The power source, in turn, transmits them to RC08/RC10 for display. It receives also the following commands from front panel FP60 :- wire feed (pin 11 of IC8 integrated circuit) :

push-button OFF = +5 Vdc push-button ON = 0 )

- gas test (pin 2 of IC6 integrated circuit) : push-button OFF = +15Vdc push-button ON = 0 )

Furthermore, it receives the current ON signal from card15.14.173 (the following are measured at the ends of theglass ampoule :

+5 Vdc = wire feeder not supplying current0 = wire feeder supplying current )

which is used for soft-start control (see NOTE).The card directly commands the MIG gas solenoid-valve (com-mand ON = 24 Vac; command OFF = 0 between CN3/7 -CN3/11 ; cable n° 5 - cable n° 6) .It supplies, to the push-pull torch auxiliary card, the commandsynchronised with the start of the gearmotor unit (36 Vac be-tween cables n° 13 - 15 when the gearmotor is operating andthe push-pull torch is connected).

NOTE : Soft-start operating mode can be clearly verified if youset it at 20-30% value and press the torch push-button a fewseconds after the end of the previous welding operation, if any.With the power source in open circuit state (no welding), thesoft-start value is maintained for five seconds, and speed thenchanges to the set value.

Warnings, precautions, general information - Diagnostics and repair instruments and tools 141

8) WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS, GENERAL INFORMATION ON EXECUTING REPAIRS

Repairs may be executed by qualified personnel only.

Before attempting any repairs, we advise you to read andunderstand the information in this manual, especially in regardto safety recommendations.

Do not carry out any repair unless another person is presentwho can provide help in case of an accident.

To repair equipment, access is necessary to the internal parts of themachine, and to obtain this, some protective panels have to beremoved. Therefore, some extra precautions are necessary, overand above those applying to normal use of the machine forwelding, in order to prevent any damaged caused by contact with:

- Live parts- moving parts- parts at high temperature

- Live parts:

IMPORTANT!: When accessing parts inside themachine, remember that turning off the switch willnot prevent the danger of electric shocks. We the-

refore advise you to remove the plug and wait for about aminute before attempting any job.Further, as capacitors charged with high voltage may be pre-sent, wait about a minute before working on the internal parts.

IMPORTANT!: When taking measurements,remember that the measuring instruments them-selves can become live and, therefore, do not touchtheir metal parts.

IMPORTANT!: when the TIG mode is selected, themachine generates a series of high voltage pulses(approximately 10.000 V) to spark the welding arc.

When an arc sparking test in TIG with H.F. discharge is notexpressly included in the diagnostic procedure, you are advi-sed to disconnect the connector CN3 from board 15.14.159.

- Moving parts:

IMPORTANT!: Keep your hands well away from thefan when the machine is connected to the powersupply. Make sure that the power plug is removedand that the fan is idle before replacing it.

- Parts at high temperature:

IMPORTANT!: When you have to handle internalparts of the machine, remember that some couldbe at high temperature. In particular, do not touchcooling radiators.

9) DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR INSTRUMENTS

AND TOOLS.

9.1) Diagnostics instruments and tools

9.1.1) Level 1

You will need the following:

- a multimeter with the following scales:Ohm : from 0 to a few MohmDiode testDirect voltages (Vdc): from mVdc to 1000 VdcAlternate voltages (Vac): from 10 Vac to 700 Vac

NOTE : We recommend you to use an instrument with anautomatic scale, because, if the machine faulty, in theory, thelevel of the electrical value to be measured cannot be foreseen.

- a shunt of 350 A @ 60 mV .

NOTE : Remember that other values may be equally suitable,but you will sacrifice accuracy at larger capacities, whereas onlow capacities, rapid measuring is necessary to prevent theshunt overheating.

9.1.2) Level 2

In addition to the instruments and tools recommended at theprevious point, you will also need the following:

- an oscilloscope with the following characteristics : - two channels- 100MHz of passband - time base up to 200ms, and ROLL option for the

trigger- a probe with the following characteristics :

- attenuation of 10:1 - insulating voltage to ground of at least 600Vrms.

- a probe with the following characteristics :- attenuation of 100 : 1 - insulating voltage to ground of at least 1000Vrms .

IMPORTANT !: Any connection to the ground, whether director through the metal frame of the oscilloscope mustbe eliminated. However, we advise you to make aground connection for the oscilloscope through anin-series capacitor-resistor circuit, where C = 10 nF1600 V, R = 220Kohm 1W.

SELCO normalised loads

NOTE : When designing an electrical panel containing loads fortesting welding equipments, there must be a facility for inputtingseveral loads (as listed in the table) in parallel by means ofswitches.In the remainder of this manual, we shall use the symbol + forinputting two loads in parallel (e.g. 3 + 8 means inputtingnormalised loads 3 and 8 in parallel).

9.2) Static load

If the static loading facility is available, it considerably simplifiesthe output current check.If this is not feasible, the same tests can be run with the TIGwelding technique, but this is more difficult.

IMPORTANT!: with static load, in order to avoiddamage, disconnect the H.F. generation circuit follo-wing the directions given in chapter 8 (Warnings,precautions ��).

IMPORTANT!: on static load, in order to preventtripping either the arc-force function, overheatingprotection, or saturation at generator output, load

value must be adapted according to the supplied current. For G 260 GSM and G 350 GSM, with reference to the SELCOnormalised loads (see TAB. 04), loads 4, 5, 6 and 8 are requi-red selected, depending on current, according to the follo-wing diagram:

9.3) Repair tools

- full set of fork wrenches - full set of pipe wrenches for hexagon nuts- full set of screwdrivers for single-slot screws- full set of screwdrivers for cross-slot screws- complete set of Allen keys - a torque cross-slotted screwdriver for M3 screws

with facility for setting tightness torque in the range1 to 2 Nxm 0.1 with precision of 0.1 Nxm.

- a pair of crimping pliers for insulated terminals (blue, red and yellow)

- a pair of pliers for AMP contacts.- a pair of pincers and nippers suitable for electronic

components.

- a bigger pair of nippers for cutting small gauge steelsheet.

- a pair of pincers suitable for tightening the gas pipeend rings.

- long jawed pincers (to remove the tube of the Binzeladapter)

- a soldering iron for electronic components with minimum capacity of 50 W.

- an unwelding station - off-the shelf unwelding tracce may be used instead.

- a portable electrical drill.

10) DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE .

10.1) General notesIn view of the machine's complexity, before carrying out a dia-gnosis, knowledge and understanding is required of the machi-ne functions as already described. Therefore, in regard to thediagnosis procedure, consult the information in the paragraphdescribing the functions of the machine. In this section, we shalljust provide some guide-lines to help you make the best use ofwhat we said up to this point, and to provide a useful informa-tion exchange tool during contacts with Selco's ServicingDepartment.
