2 INTRODUCTION

2.1 General

LAF 1000/ 1000M are remote−controlled 3−phase welding power sources designed

for high−efficiency mechanical gas metal arc welding (MIG/MAG) or sub arc welding

(SAW). They are always to be used in combination with ESAB‘s control box

A2−A6 Process Controller (PEH) or A2 Welding Control Unit (PEI).

LAF is fan−cooled and monitored by a thermal overload protection. When the protec-

tion enters into action a yellow indicating lamp on the front panel goes on and is

reset automatically as soon as the temperature has gone down to an acceptable

level.

The welding power sources and the control unit are linked together over a 2−wire

bus enabling precision control of the welding process.

All welding parameter settings for the power source can be made by the operator on

the front panel of the control unit. The operation of the power source is completely

controlled and monitored by this unit. Even the start and stop qualities can be set by

way of the control unit. The preset welding current parameters can also be moni-

tored in the course of welding.

For more detailed information regarding the settings and the working mode of the

welding power source, please refer to the instruction manual for either the

A2−A6 Process Controller or the A2 Welding Control Unit.

4.2 Controls

The front panel contains:

1. Main switch, breaking the incoming mains voltage for the welding power source.

2. Indicating lamp (white), showing that the main switch is activated.

3. Indicating lamp (yellow), showing that the thermal protection has entered into

action due to overheating in the transformer. The lamp is reset when the

temperature has gone down to an acceptable level.

4. Pushbutton, for the resetting of automatic fuse FU1 for 42 V supply voltage.

4.3 Start−up

SConnect the return cable to the work piece.

SSet the main switch (1) to position “I“.

The white indicating lamp (2) goes on and the fan starts.

SSet the welding parameters and start welding by way of the control box

(see instruction manual 0443 745 xxx for A2−A6 Process Controller or

instruction manual 0449 331 xxx for the A2 Welding Control Unit).

5 MAINTENANCE

5.1 General

Note:

All warranty undertakings given by the supplier cease to apply if the customer

attempts to rectify any faults on the machine during the warranty period.

5.2 Cleaning

SClean the welding power source as necessary.

Dry compressed air is recommended for the purpose.

WARNING!

Blocked air inlets or outlets will lead to overheating.

Note:

In order to ensure safe operation of the contactor, keep the magnetic parts clean.

If the contactor has to be cleaned it must be taken apart, and all the pieces be

cleaned.

Alternatively, the contactor can be replaced.

WARNING!

Never use compressed air to clean the contactor without first taking it apart

completely.
