Maintenance and care
5/1
Under normal operating conditions these welding machines are largely maintenance-free and
require a minimum of care. However, a number of points should be observed to guarantee fault-
free operation of your welding machine. Among these are regular cleaning and checking, as
described below, depending on the level of contamination in the environment and the usage time of
the welding machine.
Cleaning, testing and repairing of the welding machines may only be carried out by
competent personnel. In the event of failure to comply with any one of the following tests the
machine must not be operated again until the fault has been rectified.
5.1
Cleaning
To do this, carefully disconnect the machine from the mains. PULL OUT THE MAINS PLUG!
(Switching off or unscrewing the fuse is not adequate isolation).
Wait for 2 minutes until the capacitors have discharged. Remove the casing cover.
The individual components should be handled as follows:
·
Current source Depending on the amount of dust, blow out current source using oil-and
moisture-free compressed air.
·
Electronics, circuit boards Do not blow on electronic components with the compressed air
stream but suck clean using a vacuum cleaner.
5.2
Repetition test according to VDE 0702 and VBG 15
The following description of the repetition test is merely an extract from the detailed test
instructions. If required, a copy can be requested from us!
You are recommended to carry out a quarterly and an annual check. The annual test should also
be carried out after every repair. Test sequence:
Quarterly test:
·
Visual check of correct condition
·
Measurement of protective conductor resistance
Annual test:
·
Visual check of correct condition
·
Measurement of protective conductor resistance
·
Measurement of insulation resistance following internal cleaning of the power source
·
Measurement of the open circuit voltage
·
Function test of the welding machine
5.2.1
Visual check of correct condition
The machine must be inspected for externally visible faults (without opening the machine). During
this inspection, attention must be paid, for example, to the following points:
·
External faults in mains plug and mains cable, e.g. insulation faults, scorch or pressure marks.
·
Defects in anti-kink protection and the strain relief of the connection lead, mains switch.
·
Faults in welding leads, tube package, plug fixture, arc torch.
·
Signs of an overload and improper use.
·
Damage to stop points and casing.
·
Improper interference and modifications.
·
The type plate and warning symbol must be present and legible.
