Messages from the Argon Beamer and the Fume Suction System
The maxium® smart Beam and the maxium® smart Vac fume suction system can display malfunctions and
status messages on the screen of the maxium® smart C.
Message
Description
Argon Beamer warning: Underdosage
Argon gas flow lower than specified. May be due to a constricted
hose or a too high set-point value for a small hose.
Argon Beamer warning:
Argon inlet pressure too low
The inlet pressure at the gas inlet of the maxium® smart Beam is too
low. Possibly opening the angle valve at the gas cylinder has been
forgotten, or the cylinder may be empty, which can be read on the
gauge of the pressure reducer.
Argon Beamer warning: Obstruction
No or only very low argon gas flow. May be due to a kinked hose or,
for applicators with a very small outlet, obstruction of the nozzle by
encrustrations.
Argon Beamer warning:
Argon cylinder empty
Replace cylinder, the required residual pressure for replacement of
the cylinder is reached. The pressurized cylinder must not be
emptied completely.
Argon Beamer warning:
Low argon reserve
This warning appears if the residual pressure of the gas cylinder
drops below 30 bar. It is intended to inform the user that the argon
reserve is running low.
Argon Beamer E52:
Inlet pressure too high!
The pressure at the gas inlet of the maxium® smart Beam is higher
than 4.5 bar.
If the unit is supplied via a MABS pressure reducer, the reason for
the failure may be warming of the gas volume trapped in the
pressure reducer. Disconnect hose from the pressure reducer to the
maxium® smart Beam and reconnect it to allow some gas to escape.
If the pressure is still too high, then there is the pressure reducer is
malfunctioning.
In case of central gas supply, the working pressure may be too high.
In this case, an intermediary pressure reducer must be used.
Argon Beamer E75: Purge key during power-
on test!
During the self-test, the
Purge
key on the maxium® smart Beam was
actuated. Turn the device combination off and then on again. If the
message appears again, then the maxium® smart Beam is
malfunctioning.
The fume filter is missing or not properly
inserted!
The maxium® smart Vac fume suction system reports absence or
improper seating of the filter.
Check that the filter is present and fully inserted.
Argon Beamer E55-59: Offset failure
The pressure sensors of the maxium® smart Beam are sensitive to
temperature changes. If the maxium® smart Beam is moved from a
very cold to a warm environment, due to the resulting temperature
gradient the self-test may not be passed.
Allow the maxium® smart Beam to warm up for half an hour with
the unit switched on. If the self-test is again not completed
successfully, there is a malfunction.
