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.
CEBORA S.p.A. 2 - SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 2.1 - Introduction. The BRAVO MIG system is made up of equipment for welding mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum using the MIG process. Each piece of equipment essentially consists of an electric power source with built-in wire feed unit.

CEBORA S.p.A. The gas solenoid (14) and the line contactor (47) are activated by the torch start button, and their condition depend on the status of the safety parts in the power source (safety switch (59) on the wire feed unit guard, and thermostat (63) on the windings of the power transformer (30)).
CEBORA S.p.A. 3 - MAINTENANCE WARNINGS ANY INTERNAL INSPECTIONS OR REPAIRS MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. BEFORE CARRYING OUT ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, DISCONNECT THE POWER SOURCE FROM THE MAINS. 3.1 - Periodic inspection, cleaning. Periodically remove dirt and dust from the internal parts of the power source, using a jet of low-pressure dry compressed air or a brush.
CEBORA S.p.A. NOTES Operations preceded by this symbol refer to operator actions. ♦ Operations preceded by this symbol refer to machine responses that must occur following an operator action. 3.2.2 - Power source operation. System shut off and disconnected from the mains.

CEBORA S.p.A. Release the start button, holding the torch in welding position. ♦ The arc shuts down immediately without the wire sticking to the workpiece, the wire stops exiting the torch, and gas flow is interrupted. Correct? NO (see 3.3.8).
CEBORA S.p.A. 3.3 - Troubleshooting. WARNINGS ANY INTERNAL INSPECTIONS OR REPAIRS MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. BEFORE CARRYING OUT ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, DISCONNECT THE POWER SOURCE FROM THE MAINS. NOTES Items in boldface describe problems that may occur on the machine (symptoms).
CEBORA S.p.A. CONTROL BOARD (42) POWER SUPPLY TEST. Control board (42), connector J1, terminals 1 - 2 = approximately 28 Vac. Correct? ♦ Check the wiring between service transformer (44) and control board (42). ♦ Check the wiring between contactor (47), switches (50) or (51), voltage change terminal board (29) (where present) and service transformer (44).
CEBORA S.p.A. 3.3.5 - Power source powered, the wire feeder motor does not work. WIRE FEEDER MOTOR (5) TEST. Control board (42), connector J2, terminals 1 (+) and 2 (-) = 0 / +28 Vdc approximately adjustable using the knob (D), with start button pressed.
CEBORA S.p.A. 3.3.6 - In open circuit operation, the output voltage is not regular. NOTE In power sources with three-phase power supply, when the switches (50) and (51) are set to certain positions, the secondary voltage values between phases are different due to the particular connections between switches (50) and (51) and the primary circuit of the transformer (30) (see tables in the diagrams of par.
Page 14
CEBORA S.p.A. ♦ With the power source off and unplugged, disconnect temporarily J1 from control board (42), and check the resistance between terminals of contactor (47) coil. Correct value = approximately 4.7 ohm. If incorrect, replace contactor (47). VOLTAGE TO SECONDARY CIRCUIT OF THE TRANSFORMER (30) TEST.
CEBORA S.p.A. 3.3.7 - In resistive load operation, the output voltage is not regular. NOTE Only the tests loaded at the maximum output voltage are described below, and thus at the maximum current of the power source, since it is assumed that the OPEN CIRCUIT OPERATION TEST in par.
CEBORA S.p.A. 3.3.8 - When start button is released, the wire sticks to the workpiece (ineffective motor braking). NOTE In the power sources covered by this manual, the electronic power source delays ceasing to generate current while the wire from the torch slows, since although it brakes after welding, the wire feeder motor still takes some time to come to a complete stop.
CEBORA S.p.A. 3.4 - Alarm signals. 3.4.1 - Led (C) lit = high temperature signal, or open wire coil cover. This alarm indicates that the temperature of the transformer (30) has risen beyond the allowed limits, or the safety cover of the wire feeder unit is open.
