ERROR HANDLING
2
FLEX
3000 Compact has a sophisticated built-in selfprotection system.
The machine automatically stops the gas supply, interrupts the welding
current and stops the wire feeding in case of an error.
Selected errors:
Torch cooling fault
Cooling fault is indicated on machines equipped with water flow kit in
case of no circulation of the cooling liquid due to faulty connection or
choking.
Check that the cooling hoses are correctly connected, top up the water
tank and check welding hose and branches. The cooling fault is
cancelled by pressing shortly on the
Gas control fault
Gas fault exists due to a to low or high pressure on the gas flow.
Make sure that the pressure on the gas flow is higher than 2 bar and
less than 6 bar, corresponding to 5 l/min and 27 l/min.
The fault is disconnected by adjusting the manual gas flow to 27 l/min.
The gas fault is reset by a short pressure on the
Error log
All errors are saved in the machine error log in the menu Service. The
error log can be distributed, when inserting a SD-card and pressing the
following key pad:
The error log is now saved at the SD-card.
The error log can be reset when pressing the key pad with the trash

MAINTENANCE
The machine requires periodical maintenance and cleaning in
order to avoid malfunction and cancellation of the guarantee.
WARNING !
Only trained and qualified staff members can carry out
maintenance and cleaning. The machine must be
disconnected from the mains supply (pull out the mains
plug!). Thereafter, wait around 5 minutes before maintenance
and repairing, as all capacitors need to be discharged due to
risk of shock.
Wire cabinet
-
Regularly, clean the wire cabinet with compressed air and
check if the grooves and teeth on the wire drive rolls are worn
out.
Cooling unit
-
Check cooling liquid level and frost protection and refill
cooling liquid as required.
-
At least once a year, clean the water tank and the water
hoses in the welding hose for dirt and rinse with clean water.
Then add new cooling liquid. The machine comes with a
cooling liquid, which consists of demineralized water,
propylene glycol and benzotriazole. The cooling liquid
provides frost protection to –12°C. See article number in the
spare parts list. The cooling liquid is not considered
hazardous waste. Waste can be disposed of through the
municipal waste disposal system.
Power source
-
Clean the fan blades and the components in the cooling pipe
with clean, dry, compressed air as required.
-
A trained and qualified staff member must carry out
inspection and cleaning at least once a year.
