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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.

Thermal switch (thermostat) replacement procedure Spare thermostat must be the same type as replaced one. Spare thermostat should be mounted within radius of 10mm or less from broken thermostat. If it’s possible and safe for transformer winding, broken thermostat may be removed.
INSTRUCTIONS This chapter is an extract from the instructions for LHF 405 PIPEWELD, 615 PIPEWELD. SAFETY Users of ESAB welding equipment have the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that anyone who works on or near the equipment observes all the relevant safety precautions. Safety precautions must meet the requirements that apply to this type of welding equipment.
Connect the mains cable to the rectifier according to the relevant regulations and install a suitable fuse in the main fuse box. Make sure the welding rectifier is not covered or positioned so that cooling is obstructed. Connecting to mains LHF 405 PIPEWELD LHF 615 PIPEWELD Frequency 50 Hz 50 Hz...

NB: The mains cable areas and fuse sizes as shown above are in accordance with Swedish regulations. They may not be applicable in other countries: make sure that the cable area and fuse sizes comply with the relevant national regulations. Edition 071024 - - 27 - - smlhfpw2...
OPERATION Select suitable earth and return cables and connect them to the terminals marked + and -- on the front of the rectifier. Connect the return cable to the work piece. Set switch (1) to position ”I”. The display (4) will light and the fan will start. Select the welding method using the switch (6).
After cleaning, all safety plates must be mounted before you connect the power source to the mains supply. ORDERING OF SPARE PARTS Spare parts may be ordered through your nearest ESAB dealer, see the last page of this publication. Edition 071024...
