WELDERS ITEM 8201N ÷ 8214N
EDITION: MAY 2008 PAGE 25 OF 32
FAULT
CAUSE
REMEDY
Too slow or not uniform
descent.
Inadequate welding pressure. It is shown by the proper
pressure
gauge.
Adjust
it
correctly by means of the
pressure gauge.
Faulty RFL2 flow-regulator
adjustment.
Adjust it correctly.
Low electrodes welding force. Low welding pressure.
It is shown by the proper
pressure gauge. Adjust it by
means of the welding pressure
regulator.
The back pressure is not
removed
before
welding
(optional pneumatic circuit).
Check
that
EV2
operates
correctly and that the control unit
corresponding led
lights.
The upper electrode does not
rise up.
Low back pressure.
Correctly adjust the working
pressure.
Too closed flow regulator
RFL1.
Correctly adjust it.
Faulty solenoid valve EV2
(optional pneumatic circuit).
Replace it.
Spots
or
electrodes
overheating.
Insufficient cooling.
Check that water circulates in the
required quantity and at a low
temperature.
Too high welding current or
welding time.
Reduce them.
Too high post-heating time
and/or current.
Change them.
Electrodes reduced life.
Insufficient cooling.
Check that water circulates in the
required quantity and at a low
temperature.
Under-seized
electrode
in
comparison with the work to
carry out
Check both seize and contact
diameter.
Secondary
connections
reduced life.
Insufficient cooling.
Check that water circulates in the
required quantity and at a low
temperature.
Heating
caused
by
an
inadequate clamping of the
flexible connection.
Carefully tighten the clamping
screws.
Too high heating caused by a
too high welding rate
Reduce it.
