WARNING: These Safety Precautions are for
your protection. They summarize precaution-
ary information from the references listed in
Additional Safety Information section. Before
performing any installation or operating procedures, be
sure to read and follow the safety precautions listed below
as well as all other manuals, material safety data sheets,
labels, etc. Failure to observe Safety Precautions can result
in injury or death.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS --
Some welding, cutting, and gouging
processes are noisy and require ear
protection. The arc, like the sun, emits
ultraviolet (UV) and other radiation and
can injure skin and eyes. Hot metal can cause burns.
Training in the proper use of the processes and equip-
ment is essential to prevent accidents. Therefore:
1. Always wear safety glasses with side shields in any work
area, even if welding helmets, face shields, and goggles
are also required.
2. Use a face shield fitted with the correct filter and cover
plates to protect your eyes, face, neck, and ears from
sparks and rays of the arc when operating or observing
operations. Warn bystanders not to watch the arc and
not to expose themselves to the rays of the electric-arc
or hot metal.
3. Wear flameproof gauntlet type gloves, heavy long-sleeve
shirt, cuffless trousers, high-topped shoes, and a weld-
ing helmet or cap for hair protection, to protect against
arc rays and hot sparks or hot metal. A flameproof apron
may also be desirable as protection against radiated
heat and sparks.
4. Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves,
trouser cuffs, or pockets. Sleeves and collars should be
kept buttoned, and open pockets eliminated from the
front of clothing
5. Protect other personnel from arc rays and hot sparks
with a suitable non-flammable partition or curtains.
6. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag or
grinding. Chipped slag may be hot and can fly far.
Bystanders should also wear goggles over safety glasses.
FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS -- Heat from
flames and arcs can start fires. Hot slag
or sparks can also cause fires and ex-
plosions. Therefore:
1. Remove all combustible materials well away from the
work area or cover the materials with a protective non-
flammable covering. Combustible materials include wood,
cloth, sawdust, liquid and gas fuels, solvents, paints and
coatings, paper, etc.
2. Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks or
crevices in floors or wall openings and cause a hidden
smoldering fire or fires on the floor below. Make certain
that such openings are protected from hot sparks and
metal.
3. Do not weld, cut or perform other hot work until the
workpiece has been completely cleaned so that there
are no substances on the workpiece which might pro-
duce flammable or toxic vapors. Do not do hot work on
closed containers. They may explode.
4. Have fire extinguishing equipment handy for instant use,
such as a garden hose, water pail, sand bucket, or
portable fire extinguisher. Be sure you are trained in its
use.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
TAFA -11/97
5. Do not use equipment beyond its ratings. For example,
overloaded welding cable can overheat and create a fire
hazard.
6. After completing operations, inspect the work area to
make certain there are no hot sparks or hot metal which
could cause a later fire. Use fire watchers when neces-
sary.
7. For additional information, refer to NFPA Standard 51B,
"Fire Prevention in Use of Cutting and Welding Pro-
cesses", available from the National Fire Protection Asso-
ciation, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK -- Contact with live
electrical parts and ground can cause
severe injury or death. DO NOT use AC
welding current in damp areas, if move-
ment is confined, or if there is danger of
falling.
1. Be sure the power source frame (chassis) is connected
to the ground system of the input power.
2. Connect the workpiece to a good electrical ground.
3. Connect the work cable to the workpiece. A poor or
missing connection can expose you or others to a fatal
shock.
4. Use well-maintained equipment. Replace worn or dam-
aged cables.
5. Keep everything dry, including clothing, work area, cables,
torch/electrode holder, and power source.
6. Make sure that all parts of your body are insulated from
work and from ground.
7. Do not stand directly on metal or the earth while working
in tight quarters or a damp area; stand on dry boards or
an insulating platform and wear rubber-soled shoes.
8. Put on dry, hole-free gloves before turning on the power.
9. Turn off the power before removing your gloves.
10. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (listed on next page)
for specific grounding recommendations. Do not mistake
the work lead for a ground cable.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS
May be dangerous. Electric current flow-
ing through any conductor causes lo-
calized Electric and Magnetic Fields
(EMF). Welding and cutting current cre-
ates EMF around welding cables and
welding machines. Therefore:
1. Welders having pacemakers should consult their physi-
cian before welding. EMF may interfere with some pace-
makers.
2. Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which are
unknown.
3. Welders should use the following procedures to minimize
exposure to EMF:
A. Route the electrode and work cables together. Secure
them with tape when possible.
B. Never coil the torch or work cable around your body.
C. Do not place your body between the torch and work
cables. Route cables on the same side of your body.
D. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded.
E. Keep welding power source and cables as far away
from your body as possible.
4
FUMES AND GASES -- Fumes and
gases, can cause discomfort or harm,
particularly in confined spaces. Do
not breathe fumes and gases. Shield-
ing gases can cause asphyxiation.
Therefore:
1. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area by
natural or mechanical means. Do not weld, cut, or gouge
on materials such as galvanized steel, stainless steel,
copper, zinc, lead, beryllium, or cadmium unless positive
mechanical ventilation is provided. Do not breathe fumes
from these materials.
2. Do not operate near degreasing and spraying opera-
tions. The heat or arc rays can react with chlorinated
hydrocarbon vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic
gas, and other irritant gases.
3. If you develop momentary eye, nose, or throat irritation
while operating, this is an indication that ventilation is not
adequate. Stop work and take necessary steps to im-
prove ventilation in the work area. Do not continue to
operate if physical discomfort persists.
4. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (see listing below)
for specific ventilation recommendations.
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE -- Faulty or
improperly maintained equipment can
cause injury or death. Therefore:
1. Always have qualified personnel perform the installa-
tion, troubleshooting, and maintenance work. Do not
perform any electrical work unless you are qualified to
perform such work.
2. Before performing any maintenance work inside a power
source, disconnect the power source from the incoming
electrical power.
3. Maintain cables, grounding wire, connections, power cord,
and power supply in safe working order. Do not operate
any equipment in faulty condition.
4. Do not abuse any equipment or accessories. Keep
equipment away from heat sources such as furnaces, wet
conditions such as water puddles, oil or grease, corrosive
atmospheres and inclement weather.
5. Keep all safety devices and cabinet covers in position and
in good repair.
6. Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Do not
modify it in any manner.

a. Éloigner suffisamment tous les matériaux combus-
tibles du secteur où lon exécute des soudures ou des
coupes à larc, à moins de les recouvrir complètement
dune bâche non-inflammable. Ce type de matériaux
comprend notamment le bois, les vêtements, la sciure,
lessence, le kérosène, les peintures, les solvants, le
gaz naturel, lacétylène, le propane et autres sub-
stances combustibles semblables.
b. Les étincelles ou les projections de métal incandes-
cent peuvent tomber dans des fissures du plancher ou
dans des ouvertures des murs et y déclencher une
ignition lente cachée. Veiller à protéger ces ouvertures
des étincelles et des projections de métal.
c. Nexécutez pas de soudures, de coupes, dopérations
de gougeage ou autres travaux à chaud à la surface
de barils, bidons, réservoirs ou autres contenants
usagés, avant de les avoir nettoyés de toute trace de
substance susceptible de produire des vapeurs
inflammables ou toxiques.
d. En vue dassurer la prévention des incendies, il
convient de disposer dun matériel dextinction prêt à
servir immédiatement, tel quun tuyau darrosage, un
seau à eau, un seau de sable ou un extincteur portatif.
e. Une fois le travail à larc terminé, inspectez le secteur
de façon à vous assurer quaucune étincelle ou projec-
tion de métal incandescent ne risque de provoquer
ultérieurement un feu.
3. CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE-- Le gougeage à larc et à larc
au plasma exige lemploi de tensions à vide
relativement importantes; or, celles-ci risquent de
causer des dommages corporels graves et même
mortels en cas dutilisation inadéquate. La gravité du
choc électrique reçu dépend du chemin suivi par le
courant à travers le corps humain et de son intensité.
a. Ne laissez jamais de surfaces métalliques sous ten-
sion venir au contact direct de la peau ou de
vêtements humides. Veillez à porter des gants bien
secs.
b. Si vous devez effectuer un travail sur une surface
métallique ou dans un secteur humide, veillez à assu-
rer votre isolation corporelle en portant des gants secs
et des chaussures à semelles de caoutchouc et en
vous tenant sur une planche ou une plate-forme
sèche.
c. Mettez toujours à la terre le poste de soudage/coupage
en le reliant par un câble à une bonne prise de terre.
d. Nutilisez jamais de câbles usés ou endommagés. Ne
surchargez jamais le câble. Utilisez toujours un
équipement correctement entretenu.
e. Mettez léquipement hors tension lorsquil nest pas en
service. une mise à la masse accidentelle peut en
effet provoquer une surchauffe de léquipement et un
danger dincendie. Ne pas enrouler ou passer le câble
autour dune partie quelconque du corps.
f. Vérifiez si le câble de masse est bien relié à la pièce
en un point aussi proche que possible de la zone de
travail. Le branchement des câbles de masse à
lossature du bâtiment ou en un point éloigné de la
zone de travail augmente en effet le risque de
passage dun courant de sortie par des chaînes de
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ
AVERTISSEMENT: Ces règles de sécurité ont pour objet
d assurer votre protection. Veillez à lire et à observer les
précautions énoncées ci-dessous avant de monter l
équipement ou de commercer à lutiliser. Tout défaut
dobservation de ces précautions risque dentraîner des
blessures graves ou mortelles.
1. PROTECTION INDIVIDUELLE-- Les brûlures de la
peau et des yeux dues au rayonnement de larc
électrique ou du métal incandescent, lors du soudage
au plasma ou à lélectrode ou lors du gougeage à
larc, peuvent savérer plus graves que celles
résultant dune exposition prolongée au soleil. Aussi
convient-il dobserver les précautions suivantes:
a. Portez un écran facial adéquat muni des plaques
protectrices et des verres filtrants appropriés afin de
vous protéger les yeux, le visage, le cou et les oreilles
des étincelles et du rayonnement de larc électrique
lorsque vous effectuez des soudures ou des coupes
ou lorsque vous en observez lexécution.
AVERTISSEZ les personnes se trouvant à proximité
de façon à ce quelles ne regardent pas larc et à ce
quelles ne sexposent pas à son rayonnement, ni à
celui du métal incandescent.
b. Portez des gants ignifugés à crispins, une tunique
épaisse à manches longues, des pantalons sans
rebord, des chaussures à embout dacier et un
casque de soudage ou une calotte de protection, afin
déviter dexposer la peau au rayonnement de larc
électrique ou du métal incandescent. ll est également
souhaitable dutiliser un tablier ininflammable de
façon à se protéger des étincelles et du rayonnement
thermique.
c. Les étincelles ou les projections de métal incandes-
cent risquent de se loger dans des manches
retroussées, des bords relevés de pantalons ou dans
des poches. Aussi convient-il de garder boutonnés le
col et les manches et de porter des vêtements sans
poches à lavant.
d. Protégez des étincelles et du rayonnement de larc
électrique les autres personnes travaillant à proximité
à laide dun écran ininflammable adéquat.
e. Ne jamais omettre de porter des lunettes de sécurité
lorsque vous vous trouvez dans un secteur où lon
effectue des opérations de soudage ou de coupage à
larc. Utilisez des lunettes de sécurité à écrans ou
verres latéraux pour piquer ou meûler le laitier. Les
piquetures incandescentes de laitier peuvent être
projetées à des distances considérables. Les
personnes se trouvant à proximité doivent également
porter des lunettes de protection.
f. Le gougeage à larc et le soudage à larc au plasma
produisent un niveau de bruit extrêmement élevé (de
100 à 114 dB) et exigent par conséquent lemploi de
dispositifs appropriés de protection auditive.
2. PRÉVENTION DES INCENDES-- Les projections de
laitier incandescent ou détincelles peuvent
provoquer de graves incendies au contact de
matériaux combustibles solides, liquides ou gazeux.
Aussi faut-il observer les précautions suivantes:
9/97

levage, des câbles de grue ou divers chemins
électriques.
g. Empêchez lapparition de toute humidité, notamment
sur vos vêtements, à la surface de lemplacement de
travail, des câbles, du porte-électrode et du poste de
soudage/coupage. Réparez immédiatement toute
fuite deau.
4. VENTILATION-- La respiration prolongée des fumées
résultant des opérations de soudage/coupage, à
lintérieur, dun local clos, peut provoquer des mal-
aises et des dommages corporels. Aussi convient-il
dobserver les précautions suivantes:
a. Assurez en permanence une aération adéquate de
lemplacement de travail en maintenant une ventila-
tion naturelle ou à laide de moyens mécaniques.
Neffectuez jamais de travaux de soudage ou de
coupage sur des matériaux de zinc, de plomb, de
beryllium ou de cadmium en labsence de moyens
mécaniques de ventilation capables dempêcher
linhalation des fumées dégagées par ces matériaux.
b. Neffectuez jamais de travaux de soudage ou de
coupage à proximité de vapeurs dhydrocarbure
chloré résultant dopérations voisines de dégraissage
ou de pulvérisation. La chaleur dégagée ou le
rayonnement de larc peut déclencher la formation de
phosgène -- gaz particulièrement toxique -- et dautres
gaz irritants, à partir des vapeurs de solvant.
c. Une irritation momentanée des yeux, du nez ou de la
gorge constatée au cours de lutilisation de
léquipement dénote un défaut de ventilation. Arrêtez-
vous de travailler afin de prendre les mesures néces-
saires à lamélioration de la ventilation. Ne poursuivez
pas lopération entreprise si le malaise persiste.
d. Certaines commandes comportent des canalisations
où circule de lhydrogène. Larmoire de commande est
munie dun ventilateur destiné à empêcher la forma-
tion de poches dhydrogène, lesquelles présentent un
danger dexplosion; ce ventilateur ne fonctionne que
si linterrupteur correspondant du panneau avant se
trouve placé en position ON (Marche). Veillez à
manuvrer cette commande en vérifiant si le
couvercle est bien en place, de façon à assurer
lefficacité de la ventilation ainsi réalisée. Ne jamais
débrancher le ventilateur.
e. Les fumées produites par lopération de soudage ou
de coupage peuvent savérer toxiques. Aussi est-il
nécessaire de disposer en permanence dun dispositif
adéquat de ventilation de type aspirant, afin délimi-ner
du voisinage de lopérateur tout dégagement de fumée
visible.
f. Consultez les recommandations particulières en
matière de ventilation indiquées à lalinéa 6 de la
norme Z49.1 de lAWS.
5. ENTRETIEN DE LÉQUIPEMENT-- Un équipement
entretenu de façon défectueuse ou inadéquate risque
non seulement de réaliser un travail de mauvaise
qualité mais, chose plus grave encore, dentraîner des
dommages corporels graves, voire mortels en
déclenchant des incendies ou des chocs électriques.
Observez par conséquent les précautions suivantes:
a. Efforcez-vous de toujours confier à un personnel qua-
lifié linstallation, le dépannage et lentretien du poste
de soudage et de coupage. Neffectuez aucune
réparation électrique sur léquipement à moins dêtre
qua-lifié à cet effet.
b. Ne procédez jamais à une tâche dentretien
quelconque à lintérieur du poste de soudage/
coupage, avant davoir débranché lalimentation
électrique.
c. Maintenez en bon état de fonctionnement les câbles,
le câble de masse, les branchements, le cordon
dalimentation et le poste de soudage/coupage.
Nutilisez jamais le poste ou léquipement sil présente
une défectuosité quelconque.
d. Prenez soin du poste de soudage et de coupage et
des équipements accessoires. Gardez-les à lécart
des sources de charleur, notamment des fours, de
lhumidité, des flaques deau maintenez-les à labri des
traces dhuile ou de graisse, des atmosphères corro-
sives et des intempéries.
e. Laissez en place tous les dispositifs de sécurité et tous
les panneaux de larmoire de commande en veillant à

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION
2.1 LOCATION
A proper installation site is necessary for the power
source to provide dependable service. A proper in-
stallation site permits freedom of air movement
through the unit while minimizing exposure to dust,
dirt, moisture, and corrosive vapors. A minimum of 18
inches (46 cm) is required between the side and rear
panels of the power source and the nearest obstruc-
tion. The selected site should also allow easy re-
moval of the power source outer enclosure for main-
tenance. See Table 1-1 for overall dimensions of the
unit.
2.2 RECEIVING, UNPACKING AND
PLACEMENT
A. Immediately upon receipt of the power
source, inspect for damage which may have
occurred in transit. Notify the carrier of any
defects or damage.
B. Remove the power source from the con-
tainer. Remove all packing materials. Check
the container for any loose parts.
C. Check air passages at front and rear of
cabinet, making sure that no packing mate-
rials that may obstruct air flow through the
power source.
D. Install the lifting ring furnished with the power
sources into the top of the unit.
For lifting purposes and for keeping dust,
moisture, and other foreign material from
entering the power source, the lifting eyebolt
must be fully tightened with a tool.
E. After selecting an installation site (see para-
graph 2.1), place the power source in the
desired location. The unit may be lifted either
by using the lifting ring or by forklift truck. If
a forklift is used for lifting the unit, be sure that
the lift forks are long enough to extend com-
pletely under the base.
Do not use filters on this unit as they would
restrict the volume of intake air required for
proper cooling. Output ratings on this unit are
based on an unobstructed supply of cooling air
drawn over its internal components. Warranty is
void if any type of filtering device is used.
2.3 PRIMARY (INPUT) ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
This power source is a three-phase unit and must be
connected to a three-phase power supply. It is rec-
ommended that the unit be operated on a dedicated
circuit to prevent impairment of performance due to
an overloaded circuit.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Before making
electrical input connections to the power source,
"Machinery Lockout Procedures" should be em-
ployed. If the connections are to be made from a
line disconnect switch, place the switch in the off
position and padlock it to prevent inadvertent
tripping . If the connection is made from a fusebox,
remove the corresponding fuses and padlock the
box cover. If it is not possible to use padlocks,
attach a red tag to the line disconnect switch (or
fuse box) warning others that the circuit is being
worked on.
A. The primary power leads must be insulated
copper conductors. Three power leads and
one ground wire are required. Either rubber
covered cable or conduit (flexible or solid)
may be used. Table 2-1 provides recom-
mended input conductors and line fuse sizes.

C. When using the provided strain relief, refer to
Figure 2-1 for proper cable strip lengths. It is
important to follow the cable strip guide to
ensure that if the primary input cable is ever
pulled from the strain relief, the input conduc-
tors will be pulled from the ON/OFF power
switch before the ground lead is pulled from
the ground lug. Once stripped, thread the
input and ground conductors through the
large strain-relief in the rear panel of the
power source. Connect the ground wire to
the terminal lug located on the right rear A-
frame leg inside the power source. Connect
the primary power leads to terminals L1, L2,
and L3 on the input power switch. Secure the
strain relief on the input cable.
The chassis must be connected to an approved
electrical ground. Failure to do so may result in
electrical shock, severe burns or death.
D. Check all connections for proper tightness.
Ensure all connections are correct and well-
insulated.

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION
E. Figure 2-2 illustrates the input voltage termi-
nal board and the input voltage link connec-
tions. The particular voltages from which this
power source may be operated are stated on
the rating plate. The voltage links were fac-
tory set for highest voltage stated on the
rating plate. If the power source is to be
operated on another stated input voltage, the
links must be reset for that particular input
voltage. Always verify the input voltage and
check the link arrangement regardless of
factory setting. The voltage links are set up
by reconfiguring the copper link bars to the
silk-screened voltage designations for the
desired voltage.
2.4 OUTPUT WELDING CONNECTIONS
(SECONDARY)
Before making any connections to the power
source output terminals, make sure that all pri-
mary input power to the machine is off.
The output connections are located on the front panel
(Figure 2-3). The negative connection is located at
the bottom right corner and the positive (high induc-
tance and low inductance) connections are located at
the bottom left corner. Two output terminals are
provided for each output connection. Each terminal is
rated for a maximum output current of 400 amps.
When operating in excess of 400 amps, parallel
cables must be used, one in each output terminal.
Table 2-2 provides the recommended cable output
sizes.
Table 2-2. Output Cable Sizes (Secondary)
* Total cable length includes work and electrode cables. Cable size is based
on direct current, insulated copper conductors, 100-percent duty cycle and
a voltage drop of 4 or less volts. The welding cable insulator must have a
voltage rating that is high enough to withstand the open circuit voltage of
the power source.
2.5 CONTROL CONNECTIONS
Refer to Figure 2-3.
2.5.1 Control Console
The control console cable connection is provided by
a 19-pin receptacle (J1) located on the left-hand side
of the power source front panel.
2.5.2 Auxiliary 115 V AC Receptacle
A 115 Vac receptacle is provided to supply power to
accessories. The receptacle is rated 115 Vac / 10
amps.
2.5.3 - 42V Circuit Breaker (CB1)
The 42V resettable circuit breaker (CB1) protects the
42 volt wire feeder/control circuitry against over cur-
rent. (Table 5-2 provides troubleshooting informa-
tion).
2.5.4 - 115V Circuit Breaker (CB2)

OPERATION
POWER
TEMP
FAULT
Never operate the power source with the cover
removed. In addition to the safety hazards,
improper cooling may cause damage to the
components. Keep side panels closed when
unit is energized.
3.1 CONTROLS (See Figure 3-1)
3.1.1 Power Switch (ON-OFF)/(I-O)
The power switch is located on the rear panel of the
power source. In the "off" ("O") position, the unit is
shut down; however, power is still present at the
switch itself. To fully shut down the power source,
power must be disconnected at the line disconnect
switch or the fuse box.
With the switch in the "on" ("I") position, power is
provided to the main transformer and the low volt-
age control circuitry.
3.1.1.1 Power Indicator
This white light will indicate that the power switch is
in the on position and power has been applied to
the main transformer and low voltage circuitry.
3.1.2 Over Temperature Indicator (Temp.)
This amber light will indicate when an internal
overheating condition has occurred and one of the
thermal switches has opened. User control of the
solid state contactor will be interrupted and power
source output will shut down to protect critical
3.1.1 (on rear panel)

3.1.3
3.1.2
3.1.1.1
components. Once cooled to a safe temperature, the
thermal switch will automatically reset and output con-
trol will be restored.
3.1.3 Fault Indicator
If an optional External Ground Conductor Protection Kit
was installed, this red light, when lit, will signal that
current was flowing through the external ground con-
ductor. It will also light if a short occurs (momentary or
permanent) between the +12 volt J1-E; the +10 volt
(J2-E) and either the chassis ground or the negative
terminal of the power source. The power source output
terminals are de-energized and the fault must be
corrected before resuming operation.
3.1.4 Over Current Protection
The power source incorporates an automatic over
current protection. If an over current condition occurs,
the automatic circuitry will fold back the output current
to a level that will prevent damage to the power source.
The power source will remain in this low current fold
back mode until the arc is broken, the torch trigger is
released or the contactor switch is reset.
3.1.5 High & Low Inductance Receptacles
The power source provides high and low inductance
output connections (see figure 2-3). Both are positive
output terminals. The high inductance terminal slows
the power source dynamic response. This means the
output current will build at a slower rate compared to the
low inductance terminals.

SECTION 4
MAINTENANCE
4.1 GENERAL
If this power source does not operate properly,
stop work immediately and investigate the cause
of the malfunction. Maintenance work must be
performed by an experienced person, and electri-
cal work by a trained electrician. Do not permit
untrained persons to inspect, clean, or repair this
power source. Use only recommended replace-
ment parts.
Be sure that the branch circuit or main discon-
nect switch is off, or electrical input fuses are
removed, before attempting any inspection or
work inside the power source. Placing the power
switch in the off position does not remove all
power from inside the power source.
4.2 CLEANING - PREVENTIVE MAINTE-
NANCE
Periodically, remove the cover from the power source
and blow accumulated dust and dirt from the air
passages and interior components by using clean
low pressure air. The frequency of cleaning required
depends upon the environment in which the power
source is used.
It is imperative that all air passages be kept as clean
as possible in order to allow adequate air flow to
provide proper cooling.
After cleaning with low pressure air, check for and
tighten any loose hardware, including all electrical
connections. Check for frayed and/or cracked insu-
lation on all power cables and replace if necessary.
Failure to replace worn or damaged cables may
result in a bare cable touching a grounded object.
The resulting electrical arc may injure unpro-
tected eyes and will present a serious fire hazard.
Body contact with a bare cable, connector, or
conductor may result in severe electrical shock,
causing serious burns or death.
4.3 INSPECTION AND SERVICE
Keep the power source dry, free of oil and grease,
and protected at all times from damage by hot metal
and sparks.
4.3.1 Fan Motor
Keep the fan motor free of accumulated dust and lint.
4.3.2 Transformer
Other than periodically cleaning the dust and dirt from
the transformer, no maintenance is required. Ensure
that only clean, dry, low pressure air is used.
4.3.3 Control Circuits
These circuits are protected by two 10 amp circuit
breakers mounted in the front panel. If these open,
the contactor will not operate.
4.3.4 Over Temperature Protection
If the power source reaches an abnormally high
internal temperature, the thermal protection will
deenergize the contactor circuit, shutting down the
power source but leaving the cooling fan on. After the
power source has cooled to a safe level, the thermal
protection will automatically reset. While deenerigized,
the contactor cannot be operated.

TROUBLESHOOTING
SECTION 5
5.1 GENERAL
DISCONNECT primary power at wall switch, or
circuit breaker, before attempting inspection or
work inside the power source.
If the power source is operating improperly, the
following troubleshooting information may be used to
locate the source of the trouble.
Check the problem against the symptoms in the
following troubleshooting guide (Table 5-2.) The
remedy for the problem may be quite simple. If the
cause cannot be quickly located, open up the unit and
perform a simple visual inspection of all the compo-
nents and wiring. Check for proper terminal connec-
tions, loose or burned wiring or components, blown
fuses, bulged or leaking capacitors, or any other sign
of damage or discoloration.
5.2 TESTING AND REPLACING BRIDGE
ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS
The SCRs used in the power source are devices
which allow current to flow in only one direction. The
SCRs are designed to provide long trouble-free op-
eration; however, should a failure occur, they may
require replacement.
A. Testing SCRs.
1. Remove top and right side panel from the
power source.
2. Locate the main rectifier assembly contain-
ing the SCRs.
3. Electrically isolate main bridge assembly by
disconnecting resistor R5.
4. With the ohmmeter on RX1 scale, place the
positive lead on the anode (end of SCR with
screw threads) and the negative lead on the
cathode (positive output terminal on the front
panel). The meter should read minimum of
20 meg ohms.
5. Reverse leads and check each SCR. All
readings should again show high resistance.
The SCRs are bad if they show low resis-
tance in either direction.
6. Check the gate circuit on the SCRs by install-
ing a jumper from the gate lead to the anode
of the SCR. The meter should read less than
5 ohms. Remove the jumper from the gate.
The meter reading should increase (30-50
ohms).
IMPORTANT
When replacing SCRs, make sure mounting sur-
faces are clean. Using Alcoa No. 2 EJC Electrical
Joint Compound or an equivalent, apply a thin coat
to the SCR mounting surface and positively locate in
place on the heatsinks. Place the clamp in position
with the bolts through the holes in the heatsinks and
proceed as follows:
1. Tighten the bolts evenly until finger tight noting
that the nuts are not rotating.
2. Tighten the bolts 3/4 turn plus an 1/8 turn using
a socket wrench on the bolt heads and rotating
only in 1/4 turn increments plus 1/8 turn alter-
nating between the bolts noting that the nuts are
not rotating.
Table 5-1. PCB Voltage Tests*
NOTE
All voltage readings are taken with the front access
panel open and the power switch "ON".
Electrical service and repair should be attempted
only by a trained electrician.
