The ESAB Caddy Mig C200i screen may flash and stop working after completing a weld due to a malfunction or safety protection being triggered. The machine is protected against welding start during power-on, and if the torch pushbutton is pressed while turning on, operation is disabled until the button is released. Malfunctions require expert assistance, and the device should not be used until inspected.

  • Page 33: Handling Of The Control Pcb

    When the voltage is less then 50V a 1kW 0,5W resistor may be used for the final discharge. Handling of the control PCB Carefully put the control PCB in place. Try to avoid touching the wrong pins during placement of the PCB. The slit in the control PCB and the diode on the power PCB should help with positioning.
  • Page 34: Assembly Of The Housing

    ATTENTION! All primary and secondary circuits must be short--circuited to protect semiconductor devices. The insulation resistance between welding circuits (secondary circuits) and primary circuits should be more then 5M . It is recommended to carry out the insulation resistance test during periodical survey dependently on the environmental conditions, not less then once a year.

  • Page 36: General Failure Of The Power Block

    General failure of the power block Failure in the power block frequently means the short--circuit of the DC bus. Unfortunately it causes an avalanche of further failures. Mechanism of the avalanche of failures is shown on the picture. DC bus short--circuit causes damage and disconnection of the shunt resistor inside the module.

A protective earth connection must be made, in accordance with regulations.
  • Page 39: Operation

    machine is protected against undervoltage. If the power supplied by the generator is not sufficient, the welding is interrupted by the undervoltage protection. Especially welding start could be disturbed. The generator should be replaced with a more powerful one or welding parameters be decreased if operator finds the welding process disturbed.
