Maintenance - Migatronic PILOT 1800 E Manuel D'instruction

Usage of the machine (PILOT 2400)
When welding with PILOT 2400 machines a heating
of various components of the machine takes place
and during breaks these components will cool down
again.
It must be ensured that the air intake and outlet are
not blocked.
It is not possible to overload the machine in normal
use, and there is no need for cooling down periods at
current settings up to 160 Amps. When the machine
is set for welding currents higher than these, there
will be a need for periods during which the machine
can cool down.
The length of these periods depends on the current
setting, and the machine should not be switched off
in the meantime. If the periods for cooling down
during use of the machine are not sufficiently long,
the overheating protection will automatically stop the
welding process and the yellow LED will come on.
The yellow LED switches off when the machine has
cooled down sufficiently, and the machine is ready
for welding. Max. load is:
100% max. load
60% max. load
35% max. load
60 % max. load when MMA welding means that a
cooling period of 4 minutes after welding for 6
minutes is required at a current setting of 200 A; 10
minutes between start of each welding period must
be calculated in connection with the above table.
Above-mentioned values are valid for PILOT 2400
only. For other types, please see type plate (6).

MAINTENANCE

Insufficient maintenance may result in reduced
operational reliability and in lapse of guarantee.
The PILOT welding machines require virtually no
maintenance. However, exposure to extremely
dusty, damp or corrosive air is damaging to welding
machines.
Periodically maintenance
In order to prevent problems arising, the following
procedure should be observed at least once a year
or as required.
- disconnect the machine from the mains supply and
wait 2 minutes before removing the front panels.
- clean the fan blades and the components in the
cooling pipe with clean, dry, compressed air.
- drain the cooling liquid out of the cooling module
and welding hoses. Remove dirt and flush with
pure water in the tank and cooling hoses. Fill up
with new cooling liquid. The machine is delivered
with cooling liquid.
Calibration
The machine has been calibrated from the factory.
The certificate is valid for one year. If maintenance of
the calibration is requested, please contact the
MIGATRONIC service department for drawing up a
contract.
