Design and function Connect the cooling unit to the power source Figure 5-1 1 Switch off the power source and disconnect the mains plug. 2 Place the power source to the side. 3 Loosen the screws on the lower cover. Move the cover to the park position towards the front. Screw the cover back on.
Design and function Transport and installation 4 Undo all four Torx screws from the module connectors of the cooling unit. 5 Route the supply lines through the cable duct of the cooling unit. 6 Place the power source with the front feet ahead of the front module connector of the cooling unit. Lift the power source at the rear and plug both connectors of the cooling unit’s supply lines into the corres- ponding sockets of the power source (the connectors must engage).
All information relates to the total hose package length of the complete welding system and presents exemplary configurations (of components of the EWM product portfolio with standard lengths). A straight kink-free installation is to be ensured, taking into account the max. delivery height.
Design and function Transport and installation 5.2.3.4 Adding coolant After switching on the machine, the coolant pump runs for a defined time (filling the hose package). If the machine does not detect sufficient coolant flow during this time, the coolant pump is switched off (protec- tion against damage caused by dry running).
Design and function Transport and installation 5.2.4 Welding torch connection The cooling circuit (cooling unit <> welding torch) must not be interrupted. Otherwise, the coo- lant pump can be destroyed by thermal overload (the coolant cannot circulate). When using air- cooled welding torches, one of the following measures must be taken depending on the ma- chine version: •...
