It is forbidden to attempt to repair damaged electronic boards or modules; replace them with original Cebora spare parts. 1.3 - Safety information. The safety notes provided in this manual are an integral part of those given in the Instruction Manual.
2 - SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 2.1 - Introduction. The PLASMA PROF 162 is a plasma arc system for cutting electrically conductive materials, which includes the electronic power source art. 952, and a set of torches and accessories, for use in both manual applications and automated systems (see list in Sales Catalogue).

CEBORA S.p.A. The fixed fitting of the torch (50) is a multiple connector with a built-in power start for the torch electrode, two contacts for the torch gas nozzle, two contacts for the start button, four contacts to recognize the type of torch, and a pneumatic actuator for the plasma gas. The torch is connected to this fitting;...

CEBORA S.p.A. The torch board (68) acts as an input interface and condition for those signals especially affected by disturbances, as they come from critical areas of the system. These signals include: − Start from torch button; − Start from rear connector for remote control art. 197;...
CEBORA S.p.A. 3 - MAINTENANCE WARNINGS ANY INTERNAL INSPECTIONS OR REPAIRS MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. BEFORE BEGINNING MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS, UNPLUG THE MACHINE FROM THE MAINS AND WAIT FOR THE INTERNAL CAPACITORS TO DISCHARGE (2 MINUTES) 3.1 - Periodic inspection, cleaning.
Page 9
CEBORA S.p.A. Turn the gas setting knob (H) to a pressure, as read on the pressure gauge (G), suited to the type of torch being used (see table (S) on operator panel). Turn the knob (Z) to a cutting current suited to the thickness of the workpiece (see Instruction Manual).
CEBORA S.p.A. 3.2.1 - Power source commands and signals. 3.3 - Troubleshooting. WARNINGS ANY INTERNAL INSPECTIONS OR REPAIRS MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. THE SWITCH (A) IS A FUNCTION SWITCH, NOT A MAIN POWER SWITCH. THIS IS WHY THERE IS HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE PRESENT INSIDE THE POWER SOURCE EVEN WHEN THE SWITCH IS SET TO “0”.

CEBORA S.p.A. ♦ Correctly position the voltage changes. ♦ Remove any short-circuits on the transformer connections (79). ♦ Make sure that the bridge (78) is not short-circuited. ♦ Make sure that the remote switch (5) does not have stuck contacts, or that it is not ordered to close before the capacitor (40) has been fully pre-charged and the transformer (79) fully pre-magnetized.
CEBORA S.p.A. 3.3.3 - Power source powered, display and signals doe not indicate the correct values. LAMP-TEST AND SELF-TEST. The lamp-test (all operator panel signals lit) and self-test functions (display (X) indicates the software version installed) take place during the first two seconds after the machine is switched on.

CEBORA S.p.A. COOLING UNIT TEST (only with CP200 torch). Control board (62), connector J5, terminals 2 – 4 = 0 VDC (unit activated); Control board (62), connector J5, terminals 3 – 4 = 0 VDC (pressure OK). Correct? ♦ See Cooling Unit Service Manual art. 1339.
CEBORA S.p.A. 3.3.5 - No gas flows from the torch. PILOT ARC SOLENOID VALVE TEST. Solenoid valve terminals (29), EL1 (terminals 7 – 8 of J12 control board (62), or EL2 (terminals 5 - 6 of J12 control board (62) = 27 VAC for two minutes (post-gas), with torch button pressed.
CEBORA S.p.A. 3.3.6 - Gas flows from the torch, pilot arc does not light (IGBT output voltage missing). VOLTAGE TEST AT IGBT OUTPUT. Terminals 1 – 3 of IGBT (72) = 260 VDC with rated mains voltage, after pressing start button and for a duration of 2 seconds (maximum pilot arc time).
CEBORA S.p.A. 3.3.7 - Gas flows from the torch, the pilot arc does not light (high frequency missing). NOTE The following tests may be checked only in the two seconds after pressing the torch start button (maximum pilot arc time).
CEBORA S.p.A. TORCH BOARD INPUT VOLTAGE TEST. Torch board (68), connector J5 terminals AB and connector J7 terminal 1= > 200 VDC. Correct? ♦ Check the wiring between connectors J6 on board (68) and J7 on board (15). ♦ Replace board (68).
Page 19
CEBORA S.p.A. VOLTAGE TEST AT IGBT INPUT. Terminals 2 - 3 of IGBT (72) = 260 VDC, with rated mains voltage, stable even with pilot arc lit (- 10% max.). Correct? ♦ Check 3 x 180 VAC, with rated mains voltage, on input terminals of rectifier bridge (78);...
CEBORA S.p.A. 3.3.9 - Transfer arc does not take place, pilot arc remains and cutting is impossible. REED TEST. Board (62), connector J8, terminals 1 – 2 = 0 VDC (reed contact closed) with pilot arc lit and torch next to workpiece.
CEBORA S.p.A. 3.3.10 - Weak transfer arc that shuts off as soon as cutting begins. NOZZLE REMOTE SWITCH OPENING TEST. Resistor terminals (74) = 0 VDC, with transfer arc (> 25 VDC with pilot arc). Correct? ♦ Check voltage on the remote switch coil (18): if 0 VAC replace remote switch (18);...
CEBORA S.p.A. E51 - Torch not recognized. TORCH RECOGNITION TEST. Control board (62), connector J3, terminals 1, 2, 3 – 4 = 1.2 VDC according to table below. Type of torch Voltage on terminals of J3 board (62) Jumpers (T) on torch adapter 1 –...
CEBORA S.p.A. To reset this situation, shut off the power source, remove the start command and restart the power source. E54 - Short-circuit between electrode and nozzle. E55 - Electrode finished. NOTE These functions are controlled only during cutting (transfer arc).
