2 - SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

2.1 - Introduction.
The SOUND MIG 5040/T Pulse is a multi-process system suitable for welding different types
of iron, steel and aluminum, with the Pulsed Synergic MIG/MAG, non Pulsed Synergic
MIG/MAG, Conventional MIG/MAG, TIG (DC) with strike starting of the arc, and MMA
processes. It is made up of the MIG5040/T Pulse electronic power source, the WF4-P Wire
feeder, GR52 Cooling Unit, and a series of accessories to adapt to various types of use (see list in
the Sales Catalogue).
The operator interface consists of Sound DIGIBOX MIG P1 Control Panels (art. 223), or
alternatively Sound DIGIBOX MIG P2 (art. 221) which, in the present manual, are treated
simply as welding system management elements. They have a specific, separate Service Manual
that deals with their maintenance.

2.2 - Technical specifications.
To check the technical specifications, see the plates affixed to the equipment, the Instruction
Manual, and the Sales Catalogue.

2.3 - Description of SOUND MIG 5040/T Pulse system (art. 288).
The welding system is controlled by microprocessor-based circuits, which manage the
operative functions of the welding system and the operator interface.
Referring to the electrical diagram in par. 5.1, drawing 4.1 and table 4.2, you may identify the
main blocks that make up the system.
Each system component, power source, wire feeder and control panel (not including the
cooling unit) contains a microprocessor circuit, which not only manages the functions of the unit
to which it belongs, but also communicates with the other microprocessors via CAN-BUS serial
line, to actively and continuously assist system operation.
Based on this architecture, the following units may be identified:
MASTER microprocessor, in the control board (290) of the power source;
MOTOR microprocessor, in the motor control board (232) of the wire feeder;
PANEL microprocessor, in the micro board (220) of the control panel.
Each microprocessor is programmed with a different program, which must obviously be
compatible with those of the other microprocessors. To make it easier to enter and upgrade these
programs, a single-access system is provided (the connector (282) for RS232 serial
communication, (BP) on the front panel of the power source), which allows the three
microprocessors to be programmed in a single programming session. With this step the three
programs are simultaneously entered into the three microprocessors, each automatically in its
place.
The version of the programs entered can be seen on the start-up screen of the control panel in
the following form (see fig. 3.3):
With SOUND DIGIBOX MIG P1 panel (art. 223):
display O =Pan, display P = 4 =(PANEL progr., version 4 for control panel);
display AN1 =MSt - 6 =(MASTER progr., version 6 for power source control);
display AN2 =Mot - 6 =(MOTOR progr., version 6 for motor control).
With SOUND DIGIBOX MIG P2 panel (art. 221), the programs are shown only on displays
O and P in the following sequence:
display O =Pan, display P = 4 =(PANEL progr., version 4 for control panel);
display O =Mot, display P =6 =(MOTOR progr., version 6 for motor control);
display O =MSt, display P =6 =(MASTER progr., version 6 for power source control).
3.302.122.A 14/04/04
CEBORA S.p.A. 6
(beginning with version 5.7.7. on panel P2, (art. 221) the programs are displayed in the same
sequence as panel P1 (art. 223), and thus PANEL, MASTER, MOTOR).
The upgraded PANEL, MASTER and MOTOR programs are grouped together, along with
the Cebora Downloader programming software, in a single programming file available
(including instructions) from the Cebora Web site www.cebora.it, or better
www.cebora.it\prod\28800.htm (for the English version www.cebora.com\ing\prod\28800.htm).
The work programs that meet the synergic curves pre-programmed by Cebora are integrated
into the MASTER program.
Customizations of the welding system modes (parameter set-up) and the welding programs
created by the operator are saved in the control panel (220), in a different memory area from the
one containing the PANEL program. To allow the control panel to be replaced (for example
following a breakdown or to change the type of panel (art. 221 or 223)) without losing these
data, they may be saved in the memory of the control board (290), and subsequently called up on
the new control panel using the CP (copy) function, available in the programming file on the
Cebora Web site, beginning with version 4.4.6.6 (see the Instruction Manual for control panels
arts. 221and 223).
The memory area of the control panel, which contains the parameter set-up and the welding
programs created by the operator, may be cleared (all data they contain may be deleted) by
performing the following RESET procedure:
With power source off, press the key (E) on the control panel;
Power the power source using the switch (254), holding down the key (E) until you hear a
beep lasting approximately ten seconds.
Release the key (E) as soon as the beep starts (within no more than 2 seconds), and wait for
the normal start-up procedure to end (if you delay releasing the key (E) too long, the error
code 44 may appear on the display (P); clear it by shutting off and correctly restarting the
power source).
With this procedure, the PANEL program remains saved in its memory area, but the
parameter setting returns to the original factory setting.
After a RESET operation, the parameter set-up previously saved in the control board (290)
may be called up using the CP (copy) function in the control panel (220), thus restoring the
conditions prior to replacing the control panel, if applicable

2.4 - Description of MIG5040/T Pulse power source.
The MIG5040/T Pulse is a direct current power source with controlled current, consisting of a
three-phase rectifier bridge, a DC/AC converter (inverter), and an additional rectifier bridge.
The main switch (254) powers the filter board (288), which contains the filter to reduce
conducted interference reflected in the mains, and the three-phase choke (262) to level the
current absorbed by the mains (improved mains cosf).
The pre-charge board (303), inserted downstream from the choke (262), contains the power
rectifier bridge, the DC-capacitor pre-charge circuit (302) of the inverter, and the circuits to
analyze the mains voltage. It communicates with the control board (290) through an optically
isolated serial line, using a dedicated protocol.
The rectifier bridge converts the alternating mains voltage (400 Vac) to direct current (540
Vdc) suitable for powering the inverter, the DC-capacitors (302) to level this direct current and
the flyback board (287).
The pre-charge circuit of the DC-capacitors (302) is made up of the PTC (PTC1 - PTC8) and
relay RL1 on the pre-charge board (303). The latter is controlled by the microprocessor of the
pre-charge board (303), which analyzes the mains voltage and the direct current on the DC-
capacitors (302). More specifically, check the presence and amplitude of each phase of the mains
voltage, the level of the direct current at the rectifier bridge output, thus on the DC-capacitors
(302), and the division of this direct current between the 2 DC-capacitors (302).
3.302.122.A 14/04/04
CEBORA S.p.A. 7
If the test result is positive, the pre-charge relay RL1 is closed and the power source is
operated; otherwise RL1 remains open and the power source is blocked, while the control panel
(220) displays the cause of the block.
The 540 Vdc voltage present at the output of the rectifier bridge is applied to the flyback
board (287), which acts as a main power source and generates the service voltages for the
various system circuits (power source, wire feeder, control panel).
The inverter is made up of four igbt (2 for each igbt module (293)) connected in an H-
bridge configuration, driven by the driver-igbt (292) boards mounted directly on the terminals
of the igbt modules (293), in turn controlled by the control board (290).
Mounted on the power terminals of the igbt modules (293) are two snubber capacitors,
electrically connected in parallel to the DC-capacitors (302), whose task is to reduce the
overvoltages that develop on the igbt during operation. Their integrity and connection (which
must be as short as possible on the igbt terminals) is essential for the inverter to operate;
tampering with them may seriously damage the igbt (293).
The task of the igbt inverter is to generate the square-wave alternating voltage for the power
transformer (319). The welding current is adjusted by modulating this voltage appropriately.
The TA (313) inserted in the circuit between an igbt module (293) and the transformer (319)
provides the control board (290) with the feed-back signal of the current at the primary circuit of
the transformer (319), to verify that the inverter is working properly; this signal does not
normally affect the welding current adjustment.
The transformer (319) provides the secondary circuit with voltage and current values suitable
for welding. Its secondary circuit is made up of 4 windings connected to a shared point on the
central socket, to which the choke (310) is connected to level the welding current.
The other ends of the windings are connected to the diode group (272), which rectifies the
alternating current generated by the inverter, making it available at the power source output.
The diode group (272) is made up of 4 diodes connected to a shared cathode, and provides a
positive output voltage compared to the central socket of the transformer (319). Actually, each
diode in the group is in turn made up of two diodes parallel connected together.
The Hall-effect current transducer (289), inserted at the diode group (272) output, sends the
feed-back signal of the secondary current to the control board (290), to regulate the welding
current.
The output voltage signal of the power source, used by the control board (290) to adapt the
behavior of the power source based on the conditions of the welding arc in the various possible
types of welding, is taken from the + (BR) and (BO) output terminals of the power source.
The control board (290) contains the main microprocessor of the power source (MASTER).
It supervises management of the other boards, more specialized in their respective functions,
regulates the welding current by generating the PWM signal to be sent to the driver-igbt boards
(292), and communicates with the microprocessors of the control panel (PANEL) and wire
feeder (MOTOR) (see par. 2.3).
The temperature signals from the thermostat board (307), located among the igbt modules
(293), to detect the temperature of the inverter, and from the thermostat (275) mounted on the
dissipater of the diode group (272), to detect its temperature, both lead to the control board (290).
The fan (268) to cool the power elements of the power source is controlled by the control
board (290). Its operation is conditioned by the temperature of the inverter and diode group and
the ambient temperature, and is activated in the following conditions in particular:
upon machine start-up, and for 10 after the pre-charge stage;
with ambient temperature greater than 40C;
during welding, in the 3 minutes after welding is finished, and after 3 minutes if the igbt
temperature (293) is greater than 40C;
with the machine blocked, signaling an error code;
when the machine is shut off.
3.302.122.A 14/04/04
CEBORA S.p.A. 8

The connector (256) to connect the wire feeder is located on the rear panel of the power
source.
The - power output BO of the power source is located on the front panel, while the +
power output BR is located on the rear panel. They must be connected to the wire feeder
differently according to the type of welding to be carried out (see Instruction Manual).

2.5 - Description of WF4-P Wire Feeder.
The wire feeder is powered by the flyback board (287) of the power source, through the
connector (206), which is connected to connector (256) of the power source. The supply voltage
(55 Vdc) is applied to the motor control board (232), which generates the auxiliary power
supplies necessary to operate the wire feeder, including the control panel (220).
Te connector (206) also includes the CAN-BUS communication line, with which the
microprocessors of the control panel (PANEL) and wire feeder (MOTOR) communicate with the
microprocessor of the power source (MASTER) (see par. 2.3).
The motor control board (232) contains the circuit to adjust the wire feeder motor (212) speed
(which in this case is equipped with speed feed-back signal obtained from the encoder built into
the motor (212)), the continuation of the CAN-BUS communication line to dialogue with the
control panel (220), and the circuit to manage and drive the gas solenoid valve (227).
A microswitch on the door of the wire feed unit provides the motor control board (232) with
the signal to stop the power source in case the door is opened. This alarm condition is signaled
on the control panel (see error code par. 3.6.35).
The connector board (225), located on the front panel of the wire feeder, receives power from
the motor control board (232), and communicates with the latter by means of a dedicated RS232
serial line. A microprocessor handles the input and output signals of the wire feeder, and thus of
the welding system, on the connector (BB).
These signals include:
Start power source (from the button on MIG or TIG torches or from an automated system).
Inputs for external adjustment of the welding current (from UP/DOWN buttons).
Inputs for external adjustment of the welding current (from external potentiometer).
Inputs for external adjustment of the wire feeder motor speed (from UP/DOWN buttons).
Inputs for torch recognition or other connected accessories.
Motor power supply output for push-pull torches (not yet available).
Arc on signal output (NO contact free from voltage).
RS232 serial communication line for dialogue with external system controllers.
Based on the torch recognition signal, an analogic signal whose levels, spaced at intervals
of 0,25 Vdc, identify the devices connected to the connector (BB), the microprocessor on the
connector board (225) prepares the welding system so that it can be controlled by means of the
aforementioned signals. One of the possible positions enables the external RS232 serial line, to
control the welding system by means of an external controller. This line is normally kept
disabled.
The start and arc-on signals are exchanged with the motor control board (232) in clear,
thus directly; all of the other signals are converted into serial information and exchanged via the
internal RS232 serial line, inserted in the connections between J 3 on connector board (225) and
J 7 on motor control board (232). All these signals are isolated from the circuits of the motor
control board (232), by means of the optic isolators present on the motor control board (232).

2.6 - Description of GR52 Cooling Unit.
The GR52 cooling unit is powered with two phases of the mains voltage, drawn from the pre-
charge board (303), practically parallel to the mains input terminals.
This voltage arrives at the cooling board (31), which acts as a connection interface between
the components of the unit and the actual control circuit, the control board (290) of the power
source, to which it is connected.
More specifically, the enable cooling unit signal of the control board (290) commands the
relay on the cooling board which directly powers the coolant pump (36), and the autotransformer
(32) which adapts (400/230 Vac) the supply voltage of the fan (33). The pressure switch (37),
inserted in the hydraulic circuit on the pump (36) delivery, provides the isolated signal for the
fluid pressure to the control board (290), via the cooling board (31).
If the control panel (220) is set to continuous or automatic mode (see Control Panel
Instruction Manual), when the unit is switched on, the pump (36) and fan (33) will operate for 30
seconds, to fill the torch tubes and check the pressurization of the hydraulic circuit; if no welding
command is received from the operator, they will then stop awaiting a new start command.
If the pressure switch (37) does not detect the appropriate pressure within 30 seconds after
start-up, the control board (290) orders the power source blocked, generating the relative alarm
signals on the control panel (see error code, par. 3.6.33).
In automatic mode the pump and fan enter start running when MIG or TIG welding begins,
and stop 3 minutes after welding has stopped.
In continuous mode the pump and fan are always kept running. Only a lack of pressure can
stop them, along with the power source.
In the MMA process, cooling unit operation is disabled.
The factory setting of the cooling unit is OFF, thus this setting must be changed the first
time the welding system is used, or after a RESET procedure (see Control Panel Instruction
Manual).

3.5.9 - In resistive load operation, the output voltage is not regular.

NOTE
In TIG and MMA processes, the circuits to detect the short-circuit at the output prevent the
power source from delivering current if the load is already applied at the output. Under normal
operating conditions, the load is applied when the power source already delivers a voltage
greater than the minimum set in the control. However, given the complexity and danger of this
operation, it is specifically not recommended and thus non documented.
The sole purpose of the tests below is to verify the ability of the power source to deliver
current, thus for the sake of simplicity and operator safety, only the conventional MIG process
(led R3 on) will be considered below.

OPEN-CIRCUIT OPERATING TEST.
Correct?
Output terminal (-) (BO), and output terminal (+) (BR) on power source =approximately +78
Vdc, (in MIG and TIG modes with start button pressed, in MMA with the only MMA process
selected).

disconnect the connector from the current transducer (28). Power up the power
source again and check the voltage on J 14 of control board (290), terminals 4 (+)
and 5 (-) =+15 Vdc; terminals 1 (+) and 5 (-) =-15 Vdc. If incorrect, replace
Replace current transducer (289) and/or control board (290).

POWER SOURCE OUTPUT CURRENT FEEDBACK SIGNAL TEST.
Correct?
Control board (290), connector J 14, terminals 3 (+) 5 (-) =+360 mVdc, +/- 10 mVdc with
power source powered; approximately +3,6 Vdc, or fig. 5.2.4, (output current feedback
signal) with power source on resistive load, in the table conditions.

NO

YES
Correct operation.
Make sure that the control board (290) is correctly set by carrying out the MINIMUM
CURRENT THRESHOLD SETTING TEST in par. 3.6.12.
Check the wiring between the terminals of the secondary transformer circuit (319), diode
group (272), and output terminal (+) (BR) of the power source, and between the central
transformer socket (319), choke (310), and output terminal (-) (BO) of the power source. If
you find short-circuits or loose connections, restore the original connections and replace any

3.5.10 - In MIG or TIG mode, arc difficult to strike, the arc shuts off immediately after
striking (stuttering start-up).

3.5.11 - In synergic mode, the welding quality is not satisfactory, the wire speed is not
suited to the output current.

3.5.12 - In MMA, arc difficult to strike and/or unsatisfactory welding quality.

To assist welding starts, the work programs include the Hot-Start, Soft Start and
Impedance functions, available depending on the process selected and adjustable using the
keys on the control panel (220) (see Control Panel Instruction Manual arts. 221 or 223).
In particular:
- the Hot-Start function is available in pulsed MIG, synergic MIG, TIG and MMA.
- the Soft Start and Impedance functions are available in MIG processes.
The factory setting for Soft Start =auto, on display AN1, with led AA on.
In MIG mode, the parameters entered in the pulsed and synergic MIG programs are
determined based on experience, thus some operators may find conditions to be optimal while
others may need to make slight changes. This is why it is possible to change the characteristics
of the pulses in pulsed MIG programs, and the ratio between wire speed and welding current in
synergic MIG programs (see Control Panel Instruction Manual arts. 221 or 223).
In MMA, should you find it difficult to determine the proper balance between welding with
too much splattering or an electrode that tends to stick to the workpiece, despite carefully
adjusting the welding current, the Arc-force function is available to work based on the arc
voltage, and automatically modulates the welding current for faster detachment of the welding
drop. This function may be selected using the key (AH) and adjusted using the keys (AX) and
(AM) on control panel (220) (see Control Panel Instruction Manual arts. 221 or 223).
In all of these situations, when there are problems striking the arc or welding difficulties
despite careful management of the parameters available on the control panel, we recommend that
you:
Make sure that the parameters selected reflect the actual current welding conditions.
Make sure that the adjustments are working properly, by carrying out welding tests with
different parameter settings or switching the working program with a similar one, if available,
to determine the practical welding differences in the different settings. If changes to the
parameters do not correspond to welding differences, or if you encounter problems in
selecting the parameters, make sure the software versions installed in the welding system are
compatible. Upgrade if necessary by connecting to the Cebora Web site (see par. 2.3-
Description of SOUND MIG 5040/T Pulse system (art. 288) and instructions on the Web
site).
Make sure that the power source is working properly, performing if necessary the open
circuit operation test in par. 3.5.8 and operation on resistive load test in par. 3.5.9.
Check the compatibility of the components being used (electrode clamp, torch, type of contact
tip, wire type and diameter, type of gas, etc.) with the type of welding being carried out.
Check the wear status of the torch and its components, replacing if necessary.
Replace the control board (290) and/or motor control board (232) and/or control panel (220).

3.5.13 - In MIG mode, when the start button is released, the wire sticks to the workpiece
(ineffective motor braking).

To maximize the end of MIG welding, the work programs include the Burn-Back function,
adjustable using the keys on the control panel (220) (see Control Panel Instruction Manual arts.
221 or 223).
In case of difficulty at the end of MIG welding:
Make sure that the wire feeder motor brakes properly, if necessary performing the WIRE
FEEDER MOTOR (212) BRAKING TEST described below.
Make sure that the Burn-Back function adjustment is working, by carrying out welding tests
with different parameter settings or switching the working program with a similar one, if
available. If you encounter problems, make sure the software versions installed in the welding
system are compatible. Upgrade if necessary by connecting to the Cebora Web site (see par.
2.3- Description of SOUND MIG 5040/T Pulse system (art. 288) and instructions on the Web
site).
Check the compatibility of the components being used (torch, type of contact tip, wire type
and diameter, type of gas, etc.) with the type of welding being carried out.
Check the wear status of the torch and its components, replacing if necessary.
Replace the control board (290) and/or motor control board (232) and/or control panel (220).

WIRE FEEDER MOTOR (212) BRAKING TEST.
Correct?
Motor control board (232), connector J 20 terminals 2 and 1 (gnd) =fig. 5.2.5, upon releasing
the start button and with open-circuit power source. (voltage on the wire feeder motor (212)

motor stops immediately (braking time approximately 200 msec.).

YES

NO
Check the wiring between connector J 20 of motor control board (232) and motor
(212).
If the motor slows down with its own inertia (fig. 5.2.6 or similar), the braking
circuit on motor control board (232) may not be working, in which case replace
the motor control board (232).
Make sure that there are no mechanical impediments preventing the wire coil from stopping
despite the braking action of the motor (ex.: slipping of the wire feeder rollers, improperly
adjusted roller spring, etc.).
Replace the motor control (232) and/or motor board (212).

3.6.1 - 1 - Internal RAM error.
3.6.2 - 2 - EEPROM error.
Block due to software error. Replace the control board (290).

3.6.3 - 5 - Communication error on the I2C-BUS.
Communication error between the microprocessor and the EEPROM memory, in saving the
control panel data, on the control board (290). Replace the control board (290).

3.6.4 - 6 - Communication error on CAN-BUS, detected by control board (290).
Communication error between control board (290) and motor control board (232), or between
control board (290) and control panel (220), detected by MASTER control, on control board
(290). Perform the usual tests in case of failure of the CAN-BUS COMMUNICATION TEST in
par. 3.5.3.

3.6.5 - 7 - Hardware error on the CAN-BUS communication line.
Fault (interruption, short-circuit, isolation leak towards earth, etc.) on the CAN-BUS
communication line, detected by MASTER control on control board (290).
Check the wiring between J 5 control panel (220) and J 3 motor control board (232), between
J 11 motor control board (232), connector (206) of the wire feeder, connector (256) on the power
source and J 4 control board (290).
Replace the control (290) and/or motor control (232) and/or control panel (220) boards.

3.6.6 - 8 - Communication error on the CAN-BUS between control panel (220) and motor
3.6.7 - 9 - Communication error on the CAN-BUS between control panel (220) and
Communication errors on the CAN-BUS line detected by the PANEL control, on control
panel (220). Perform the usual tests in case of failure of the CAN-BUS COMMUNICATION
TEST in par. 3.5.3.

3.6.8 - 10 - Missing voltage and current at the power source output.
When the start command is activated, the circuits to detect the output voltage and output
current on the control board (290), detect voltage =0 and current =0. This situation is possible
only with the inverter broken (thus is does not generate the alternating voltage on the primary
circuit of the transformer (319)), or with one or both voltage and current detection lines
interrupted.
Perform the open circuit operation test in par. 3.5.8 and the operation on resistive load
test in par. 3.5.9.

3.6.9 - 11 - Overload at the power source output.
The control board (290) has detected a power overload at the power source output. This
situation may be due to a fault in the output voltage and current detection circuits on the power
source, thus the control receives incorrect values, and may order power delivery beyond the
maximum allowed.
Check the wiring between J 16 of control board (290) and output terminals (+) (BR) and (-)
(BO) of the power source (voltage feed-back line), and carry out the CURRENT
TRANSDUCER (289) POWER SUPPLY TEST and POWER SOURCE OUTPUT CURRENT
FEEDBACK SIGNAL TEST in par. 3.5.9 (current feedback line).
If the results of these tests are positive, replace control board (290).

CEBORA S.p.A. 38

3.6.10 - 13 - Missing communication between control board (290) and pre-charge board
(303), upon power source start-up.
The pre-charge board (303) communicates with the control board (290) through an optically
isolated serial line, using a dedicated protocol. Via this line, the pre-charge board (303) (J 4)
informs the control board (290) (J 2) of the status of the mains voltage, the direct current on the
DC-capacitors (302), and the internal circuits of the pre-charge board (303). Based on these data,
the control board (290) either does or does not order the pre-charge relay closed, and based on
information regarding any alarms, orders the power source blocked and the type of error to be
displayed on the control panel.
Check the wiring between connectors J 4 on pre-charge board (303) and J 2 on control board
(290), and replace the two boards if necessary.

3.6.11 - 14 - Microprocessor supply voltage error on control board (290).
Perform the CONTROL BOARD (290) POWER SUPPLY TEST in par. 3.5.2, paying special
attention to the 8 Vdc and 5 Vdc voltages.

3.6.12 - 15 - Direct current voltage at pre-charge board output (303) below setting.
The direct current voltage at the output of the pre-charge board (303) is found to be below the
value calculated based on the values detected by each individual phase of the mains voltage. This
may be due to a possible distortion of the mains voltage (or of a single phase of the mains
voltage), or a fault in the pre-charge board (303), or of the built-in rectifier bridge.
Check the condition of the three phases of the mains voltage, and replace the pre-charge board
(303) if necessary.
If the alarm appears upon power source start-up, there may be a short-circuit, or strong
absorption, by the DC-capacitors (302) or igbt modules (293), thus we recommend carrying out
the POWER SUPPLY TEST in par. 3.5.1.

3.6.13 - 16 - Direct current voltage at pre-charge board output (303) below minimum
permitted value.
Alarm (similar to error 15) indicating that the direct current voltage on the DC-capacitors is
not sufficient to ensure proper operation of the inverter, and thus of the power source.
In addition to the tests indicated for error 15, carry out the INVERTER POWER SUPPLY
TEST in par. 3.5.9, or better yet, the operation on resistive load tests in par. 3.5.9.

3.6.14 - 17 - Direct current voltage incorrectly divided among the DC-capacitors (302).
3.6.15 - 18 - Direct current voltage incorrectly divided among the DC-capacitors (302).
The voltage on the capacitor connected to the negative pole is greater (alarm 17) or less
(alarm 18) than the voltage on the capacitor connected to the positive pole.
The imbalance may be due to the need for the DC-capacitors to regenerate, especially after
a lengthy down-time or with a new machine, or to an interruption in one of the discharge
resistors (296), or a fault in the pre-charge board (303).
With these alarms present, leave the power source powered for at least 1 hour, constantly
observing whether the voltage imbalance tends to diminish and split equally between the two
DC-capacitors (regeneration phenomenon), or tends to increase.
WARNING
Perform this test with the power source panels closed. If the imbalance is due to a
capacitor fault rather than the need for regeneration, the voltage imbalance tends to increase
rather than decrease, to the point where the DC-capacitors are likely to explode.
3.302.122.A 14/04/04
CEBORA S.p.A. 39

In a static situation, make sure that the wiring between pre-charge board (303) and DC-
capacitors (302) is not leaking isolation towards earth or other parts of the power source, and
replace the DC-capacitors (302) and/or resistors (296) and/or pre-charge board (303) if
necessary.

3.6.16 - 19 - Missing communication between control board (290) and pre-charge board
(303).
Situation similar to those described for error 13 (par. 3.6.10), with the difference that the
communication is interrupted while the power source is running.
Check the wiring between connectors J 4 on pre-charge board (303) and J 2 on control board
(290), and replace the two boards if necessary.

3.6.17 - 20 - Absence of interlock signal on TA board (313).
The interlock signal is provided by a jumper between terminals 3 and 4 of J 1 on TA board
(313), and is used to make sure that the TA board (313) is connected to the control board (290)
(current feedback signal line to the primary circuit of the transformer (319)).
Check the wiring between terminals 3 and 4 of J 1 on TA board (313) and terminals 8 and 7 of
J 14 on control board (290).
Make sure that there is a short-circuit between terminals 3 and 4 of J 1 on TA board (313).
With power source off, temporarily disconnect connector J 14 from control board (290).
Power up the power source again and check the supply voltage on J 14 of control board (290),
terminals 8 (+) and 7 (-) =+5 Vdc. If incorrect, replace control board (290).
Replace the control (290) and/or TA board (313).

3.6.18 - 25 - Error on the EPLD bus in the control board (290).
This code calls up various problems that may occur in controlling the igbt inverter (293).
Generally they are those defects that cause a high absorbed current in the primary circuit of the
transformer (319), due for example to a short-circuit in the windings of the transformer (319) or
in the diode group (272).
For an analysis of the problem, see open circuit operation par. 3.5.8 and operation on
resistive load par. 3.5.9.

3.6.19 - 30 - Incorrect setting of the minimum current threshold on control board (290).
MINIMUM CONTROL BOARD (290) CURRENT THRESHOLD SETTING.
Correct?
Control board (290), connector J 14, terminal 3 (+) and 5 (-) =+360 mVdc, +/- 10 mVdc with
power source powered but not delivering current.

YES

NO
With power source off, temporarily disconnect J 14 from control board (290) and
check the resistance on terminals 3 and 5 of J 14 on control board (290) =26.6
ohm. If incorrect, replace control board (290).
Adjust trimmer TR1 on control board (290) to have 360 mVdc +/- 10 mV.
Replace control board (290).
Regular operation.

3.302.122.A 14/04/04
CEBORA S.p.A. 40

3.6.20 - 41 - Connector board (225) missing or disconnected.
CONNECTOR BOARD (225) CONNECTED TEST.
Correct?
Motor control board (232), terminals 1 (+) and 2 (-) of OP4 =approximately +1.2 Vdc, with
power source powered.

YES

NO
Check flat cable between J 3 connector board (225) and J 7 of motor control board
(232).
With power source off, temporarily disconnect J 7 from motor control board (232)
and check the resistance on terminals 4 and 6 of J 7 on motor control board (232).
Correct value =junction of two diodes in both directions measured. If incorrect,
replace the motor control board (232).
With the power source off, temporarily disconnect J 7 from the motor control
board (232) and power up the power source again. Make sure that on terminals 6
(+) and 4 (-) of the patch connector disconnected from J 7 of motor control board
(232) the voltage =approximately +12 Vdc. If incorrect replace the connector
board (225).

3.6.21 - 42 - Error in the signal of the motor encoder (212).
The signal provided by the encoder built into the motor (212) is used as a speed feedback
signal to adjust the motor speed. Error 42 indicates that the signal provided by the encoder is
not suited to the reference signal generated by the motor control board (232), and thus the motor
speed (212) is out of control.
Perform the wire feeder motor operation test in par. 3.5.7.

3.6.22 - 43 - Communication error with connector board (225).
The communication error may be due to incorrect communication line supply voltages, or to
an actual failure to recognize the data exchanged between the boards.
In the latter instance, check flat cable between J 3 connector board (225) and J 7 of motor
control board (232), especially terminals 14 (RX signal) and 13 (TX signal), and proceed by trial
and error, replacing the connector board (225) and/or the motor control board (232).

SERIAL COMMUNICATION LINE POWER SUPPLY TEST.
Motor control board (232), terminals 6 (+) and 5 (-) of OP8 =approximately +5 Vdc, with
power source powered (power supply for TX signal).
Correct?
Motor control board (232), terminal 1 of OP7 (+) and terminal 5 (-) of OP8 =approximately
+12 Vdc, with power source powered, after start-up (power supply for RX signal).

YES

NO
With power source off, temporarily disconnect the flat cable from J 7 on motor
control board (232) and check the resistance on terminals 9 and 11 of J 7 on motor
control board (232). If a short-circuit is detected, replace the motor control (232)
and connector (225) boards.
3.302.122.A 14/04/04
CEBORA S.p.A. 41

With power source off, temporarily disconnect the flat cable from J 7 on motor
control board (232) and power up the power source again. Make sure that on
terminals 9 (+) and 11 (-) of the patch connector disconnected from J 7, the voltage
=approximately +5 Vdc, and on terminals 12 (+) and 11 (-) of the patch connector
disconnected from J 7, voltage =approximately +12 Vdc. If incorrect replace the
connector board (225).
Smooth serial line power supply.

3.6.23 - 44 - CAN-BUS communication error, detected by motor control board (232).
Communication error between control board (290) and motor control board (232), or between
motor control board (232) and control panel (220), detected by MOTOR check on motor control
board (232). Perform the usual tests in case of failure of the CAN-BUS COMMUNICATION
TEST in par. 3.5.3.

3.6.24 - 52 - trG on display (O). In MIG and TIG mode, start button pressed upon start-
up.
See START COMMAND TEST and START SIGNAL TEST, par. 3.5.4.

3.6.25 - 53 - trG on display (O). Start button pressed while resetting from stop due to
temperature outside limits.
The high temperature alarm stops the power source, lights the yellow led (G) and signals the
corresponding alarm to the overheated unit (see alarms 73 and 74) on the control panel. These
alarms are automatically reset when the temperature returns within the allowed limits.
It may occur that the unit resets when the start command is present; therefore, to prevent the
power source from starting suddenly due to a random reset, this situation is detected and causes a
power source block, with the message trG on display (O).
To restore proper operation, remove the start command, performing the START COMMAND
TEST and START SIGNAL TEST if necessary, par. 3.5.4.

3.6.26 - 56 - Short-circuit at the output lasts too long.
It is normal to detect short-circuits at the output during welding, as long as they do not last
beyond a given interval. Error 56 indicates that the short-circuit has exceeded this limit.
This situation may be caused by a short-circuit created between the contact tip and gas nozzle
on the MIG torch due to deposits of dirt or metal dust.
In MMA mode it may also derive from an interruption in the output voltage detection line.
In any case, in addition to cleaning the torch, check:
wiring between connector J 16 of control board (290) and output terminals (-) (BO) and output
(+) (BR);
power wiring between end terminals of the transformer (319), diode group (272), and output
terminal (+) (BR);
power wiring between central transformer socket (319), choke (310), and output terminal (-)
(BO) of the power source.
If you find defective connections, fix and replace any damaged components.
If necessary, perform the tests for open circuit operation, par. 3.5.8, and operation on
resistive load, par. 3.5.9.
Replace control board (290) and/or transformer (319).

3.302.122.A 14/04/04
CEBORA S.p.A. 42

3.6.27 - 57 - Mot on display (O). Excessive wire feeder motor (212) current.
The motor control board (232) is equipped with a supply current limiting circuit for motor
(212), to protect any overload, and a circuit that detects when the limiter is continuously tripped,
indicating a permanent overload.
This overload is primarily due to mechanical causes, such as dirt in the gears of the
gearmotor, friction from a lack of lubrication, impediments in feeding the wire coil, bottlenecks
in the torch sheath along the torch cable, etc.
Therefore, clean the wire feed unit and check whether the problem continues to occur if
operating without the wire feeder. If so, you may hypothesize that the motor winding or
mechanical reducer built into the motor have deteriorated, and thus replace the motor (212).
If necessary, perform the wire feeder motor operation tests in par. 3.5.7.

3.6.28 - 61 - Voltage of input phase L1 below minimum permitted.
3.6.29 - 62 - Voltage of input phase L1 above maximum permitted.
The pre-charge board (303) checks for the presence and proper value of the three power
supply phases of the mains voltage, determining when these values fall outside the allowed
limits.
Perform the MAINS CONNECTION TEST in par. 3.5.1, and replace the pre-charge board
(303) if necessary.

3.6.34 - 73 - Led (G) on. High diode group (272) temperature.
3.6.35 - 74 - Led (G) on. High igbt group (293) temperature.
With these alarms we recommend that you not shut off the power source, to keep the fan
running and thus cool the unit more rapidly. Normal operation is restored automatically as soon
as the temperature returns within the allowed limits.
Make sure that the fan (268) is working properly (see par. 3.5.2).
Check for proper air flow and make sure there is no dust or obstacles to cooling in the
aeration tunnel.
Make sure that the operating conditions meet the specification values, especially observe the
duty cycle.
Check the wiring between J 1 control board (290), and thermostat (275) on the diode group
(272).
Make sure that the thermostat (275) mounted on the diode group (272) is properly mounted
and in good working order; its contact must be closed at ambient temperature.
Make sure that the thermostat board (307) is properly mounted on the igbt group (293); the
temperature signal transmitted to the control board (290) is PWM type, with duty cycle
proportionate to the temperature, and thus difficult to check. If necessary replace the
thermostat board (307).
Check the wiring between J 3 control board (290), and thermostat board (307) on igbt group
(293).
Make sure that on J 3 of control board (290), terminals 3 (+) and 4 (-), voltage =+5 Vdc. If
incorrect, with power source off, temporarily disconnect J 3 on control board (290) and check
the resistance between terminals 3 and 4 of the patch connector disconnected from J 3. Correct
value =junction of one diode in one direction and >Mohm with the probes reversed. If
incorrect replace the thermostat board (307), and check the voltage on terminals 3 and 4 of J 3
again without the thermostat board connection. If incorrect, also replace control board (290).
3.302.122.A 14/04/04
CEBORA S.p.A. 43
Replace control board (290).

3.6.36 - 75 - H2O on display (O). Low pressure in the cooling circuit.
The pressure switch (37) measures the coolant pressure in the cooling circuit. For an analysis
of the corresponding circuit, see PRESSURE SWITCH TEST (37), par. 3.5.15.

3.6.37 - 76 - H2O on display (O). Cooling unit not connected.
The cooling unit connected signal is provided by a jumper between terminals 3 and 4 of the
patch connector on J 15 of control board (290). For an analysis of the circuit, see COOLING
UNIT ENABLE TEST, par. 3.5.15.

3.6.38 - 80 - OPn on display (O). Wire feed unit guard open.
This alarm indicates that the safety cover of the wire feed unit is open.
Check the wiring between J 1 motor control board (232), and switch (211) on the guard of the
wire feed unit.
Check the voltage on J 1 of motor control board (232), terminals 1 (+) and 2 (-) =0 Vdc,
correct condition =cover closed; +15 Vdc =alarm =cover open. If incorrect, replace switch
(211) or motor control board (232).
Make sure that the switch (211) and the unit cover are properly mounted. If incorrectly
positioned, correct; replace if defective.

3.6.39 - 99 - OFF on display (O). Incorrect mains voltage (machine shutdown).
This signal normally appears whenever the power source is shut off.
When mains voltage is missing, for example after opening the switch (254), all control
circuits remain powered for a few seconds due to the effects of the DC-capacitor (302)
discharge. The pre-charge board (303) detects the missing mains voltage, notifies the control
board (290) (signal on J 1 1-2), which orders the power source to stop, and notifies the control
panel (220) via CAN-BUS to signal OFF on display (O).
Carry out the MAINS CONNECTION TEST and POWER SUPPLY TEST, in par 3.5.1, and
replace the pre-charge board (303) if necessary.

6.1 - Kit Driver + Igbt, code 5.710.071 replace instructions.

6.1.1 - Removing igbt modules from heatsink and preparing heatsink.
- Remove the two igbt modules SKM200GB125D.
- Remove the two thin sheets of metal Therm-strate covered with grease and inserted between
the heatsink and the igbt modules.
- Clean the dissipater to remove the residue left by the metal sheet Therm-strate, using a rag
soaked in denatured alcohol. No residue must be left on the heatsink which must be perfectly
clean.

6.1.2 - Apply the igbt to the heatsink.
- Take the Therm-strate sheet (code 3085391), being careful not to crease it, gently remove the
two protective films to uncover the two layers of thermally conductive grease with your
hands; also take care not to contaminate it with dust or dirt.
- Apply the Therm-strate sheet on the dissipater in place of those previously removed.
- Make sure that the bottom part of the igbt modules (metal base) is perfectly clean.
- Apply the igbt module over the Therm-strate sheet.
- Insert the four holding screws (A, B, C, D) and turn the screws without tightening them
completely.
- Continue tightening the screws by degrees, proceeding in the order A, C, D, B.
- Caution! The tightening torque of the screws must be between 3 and 5 Nm.
