It is forbidden to try to repair damaged circuit boards or electronic modules. Replace them with original Elettro CF spare parts. 1.3 - Safety information. The following information regarding safety is an integral part of that provided in the Instruction Manual and the Safety Rules Manual.
Elettro C.F. s.r.l. 2 - DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM 2.1 - Introduction. The TIG 2015 AC/DC-HF INVERTER is a system for MMA and TIG welding, with both contact and high frequency arc ignition. It consists of an electronic power source (art. 168), and a series of accessories to adapt it to different types of use.

Elettro C.F. s.r.l. power board (14) which generates high-voltage pulses at high frequency for the transformer (33). The fan (7), for cooling the power elements of the power source, is controlled by the microprocessor of the power board (14). Its operation depends on the selected welding mode: If the machine is on in MMA mode or it switches to MMA mode, the fan is always on.
Elettro C.F. s.r.l. 3 - MAINTENANCE WARNINGS ANY INTERNAL INSPECTION OR REPAIR MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE, DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE MAINS AND WAIT FOR THE INTERNAL CAPACITORS TO DISCHARGE (2 MINUTES) 3.1 - Periodical inspection, cleaning. Periodically check the correct air inflow inside the ventilation tunnel.
Elettro C.F. s.r.l. NOTE Operations preceded by this symbol refer to actions of the operator. ♦ Operations preceded by this symbol refer to responses of the machine to the operation carried out by the operator. 3.2.2 - Switching on power source. System off and disconnected.
Elettro C.F. s.r.l. 3.2.3 - TIG operation. NOTE The TIG-AC operating sequence is described below, because it involves all of the internal power source units, including those for TIG-DC operation. WARNINGS DURING THE FOLLOWING TESTS, DO NOT AIM THE TORCH TOWARDS PERSONS OR BODY PARTS BUT TOWARDS AN OPEN SPACE OR THE PIECE TO BE WELDED.
Elettro C.F. s.r.l. Correct? NO (see 3.3.8, 3.3.9). Release the start button on the torch. ♦ The arc switches off immediately (if long slope-down times are not set). ♦ Gas continues to come out to protect the welding bath (post-gas). Correct? NO (see 3.3.5, 3.3.9).
Elettro C.F. s.r.l. 3.3 - Troubleshooting. WARNINGS ANY INTERNAL INSPECTION OR REPAIR MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. DISCONNECT THE POWER SOURCE FROM THE MAINS AND WAIT FOR THE INTERNAL CAPACITORS TO DISCHARGE (2 MINUTES) BEFORE REMOVING THE PROTECTIVE COVERS AND ACCESSING THE INTERNAL PARTS. NOTE The problems which the machine could have (symptoms).are described in boldface.
Elettro C.F. s.r.l. ♦ Check wiring between J1 power board (14) and J2 panel board (18). ♦ With power source off, temporarily disconnect the connector J2 on panel board (18) and verify that the terminals 25 and 24 of J2 panel board (18) are not short- circuited.

Elettro C.F. s.r.l. 3.3.6 - In TIG mode, gas comes out the torch but does not ignite the arc, high frequency missing. WARNING DURING THE FOLLOWING TESTS, LEAVE THE NEGATIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL (F) OF THE POWER SOURCE FREE FROM CONNECTIONS AND DO NOT TOUCH. THE PRESENCE OF HIGH VOLTAGE AND HIGH FREQUENCY IS DANGEROUS FOR THE OPERATOR AND COULD DAMAGE THE INSTRUMENTS OR THE POWER SOURCE...
Elettro C.F. s.r.l. 3.3.7 - In no-load operation, the output voltage is not regular. WARNING FOR THE FOLLOWING TESTS, DISCONNECT THE TERMINALS OF THE PRIMARY WINDING OF THE HF TRANSFORMER (33) FROM TERMINALS J22, J23 OF POWER BOARD (14), TO PREVENT GENERATION OF HIGH FREQUENCY NO-LOAD OUTPUT VOLTAGE TEST.
