5 MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance must be carried out on the
system according to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
Any maintenance operation must be performed by qualified
personnel only.
When the equipment is working, all the access and operating
doors and covers must be closed and locked.
Unauthorized changes to the system are strictly forbidden.
Prevent conductive dust from accumulating near the louvers
and over them.
Disconnect the power supply before every opera-
tion!
Carry out the following periodic checks on the
power source:
- Clean the power source inside by means of
low-pressure compressed air and soft bristle
brushes.
- Check the electric connections and all the con-
nection cables.
For the maintenance or replacement of torch components,
electrode holders and/or earth cables:
Check the temperature of the component and
make sure that they are not overheated.
Always use gloves in compliance with the safety
standards.
Use suitable wrenches and tools.
Failure to carry out the above maintenance will invalidate all
warranties and exempt the manufacturer from any liability.
6 TROUBLESHOOTING

Cause
Faulty on/off switch.
Solution
Replace the faulty component.
Contact the nearest service centre to have the sys-
tem repaired.
Cause
Faulty electronics.
Solution
Contact the nearest service centre to have the sys-
tem repaired.
No output power (the system does not weld)
Cause
The system has overheated (temperature alarm -
yellow LED on).
Solution
Wait for the system to cool down without switching
it off.
Cause
Faulty electronics.

Cause
Incorrect selection in the welding process or faulty
selector switch.
Solution
Select the welding process correctly.
Cause
System parameters or functions set incorrectly.
Solution
Reset the system and the welding parameters.
Cause
Faulty potentiometer/encoder for the adjustment
of the welding current.
Solution
Replace the faulty component.
Contact the nearest service centre to have the sys-
tem repaired.
Cause
Faulty electronics.
Solution
Contact the nearest service centre to have the sys-
tem repaired.
Arc instability
Cause
Insufficient shielding gas.
Solution
Adjust the gas flow.
Check that the diffuser and the gas nozzle of the
torch are in good condition.
Cause
Humidity in the welding gas.
Solution
Always use quality materials and products.
Ensure the gas supply system is always in perfect
condition.
Cause
Incorrect welding parameters.
Solution
Check the welding system carefully.
Contact the nearest service centre to have the sys-
tem repaired.
Excessive spatter
Cause
Incorrect arc length.
Solution
Decrease the distance between the electrode and
the piece.
Cause
Incorrect welding parameters.
Solution
Decrease the welding voltage.
