  • Page 11: Description Of Operation

    DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION LH20/1 control board LH20/1:1 Current setting The bandgap reference 1,23V diode V2 on LH10/2 PCB makes up a primary voltage reference for current setting circuit and for digital meter. Current setting reference voltage 10,7V is derived from 1,23V by the amplifier made of A2a, V30, C14, R47, R46.
  • Page 12: Lh20/1:2 Current And Voltage Meter

    LH20/1:2 Current and voltage meter The meter is based upon typical application of ICL7107 integrated circuit. Reference voltage 1,23V is derived from diode V2. +5V supply consists of C30, VB1, C31, A10, C32, C33, while --5V supply consists of R1, V1, C34. Measurement of voltage/current is selected with switch Q4.
  • Page 13: Lh20/1:3 Functional Control Circuit Antistick, Hotstart, Arcforce

    LH20/1:3 Functional control circuit ANTISTICK, HOTSTART, ARCFORCE The ANTISTICK function is carried out by the circuit made of the A3 IC and the transistor V31. If the output voltage falls down below the ANTISTICK threshold, transistor V31 switches on, consequently switches off the output transistor of the A3b comparator and the output transistor of the A3a comparator switches on.
  • Page 14: Lh20/1:4 Tig Mode Operation

    LH20/1:4 TIG mode operation Tig mode is selected with switch S1 middle position. While TIG mode is active the ANTISTICK function is enabled, and HOT START and ARC FORCE functions are disabled. In TIG mode transistor V35 is open. Transistors V36, V37, V38 are also open untill trigger on welding torch is pressed.
  • Page 15: Lh20/1:5 Wireless Remote Current Control Receiver

    LH20/1:5 Wireless remote current control receiver D4 and D5 ICs form 8 bit memory counter for transmitted value of welding current. A8 and A9 ICs form D/A converter that converts binary current value to analog within range of 0--10,7V. Comparator A6a forms detector of signal transmitted by transmitter N02.
  • Page 16: Lh20/1:6 Power Supply

    LH20/1:6 Power supply Power supply is placed on LH20/1 board and consists of positive and negative voltage sources. Positive power supply. +24V supplies thyristor control circuitry; +15V supplies pulse circuitry on LH20/1 board and supplies function board LH10/2; +14,5V supplies regulator and current shunt amplifier. Negative power supply.
  • Page 17: Lh20/1:8 Synchronisation And Thyristors Firing

    LH20/1:8 Synchronisation and thyristors firing The synchronisation circuit consists of synchronised ramp generators, comparators, and firing pulse forming circuit. Signal from the synchronising winding goes via R66(53)(40) and diode limiter made V26(23)(20) and V27(24)(21) diodes, and then through divider R67(54)(41), R68(55)(42) to non--inverting input of the comparator A5b(A4b)(A3b).
  • Page 18: Lh20/1:9 Thermal Overload Circuit

    LH20/1:9 Thermal overload circuit The circuit co--operates with NC thermal switches connected in series. Opening of any of them (placed on the transfer or the rectifier) switches the V1 transistor on. Closed the V1 transistor switches on the H1 indication lamp and disables thyristors firing.
