WARNING

Mar ‘95

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDSmay be dangerous

2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding machines

2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, andwelders having a pacemaker should consult their physicianbefore welding.

2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other healtheffects which are now not known.

2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order tominimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:

2.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Securethem with tape when possible.

2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.

2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode andwork cables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the work cable should also be on your right side.

2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close aspossible to the area being welded.

2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove theradiator pressure cap when the engine ishot.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS

Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituentsare known to the State of California to cause can-cer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.

The engine exhaust from this product containschemicals known to the State of California to causecancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

iiSAFETYii

ARC RAYS can burn.4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover

plates to protect your eyes from sparks andthe rays of the arc when welding or observingopen arc welding. Headshield and filter lensshould conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.

4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistantmaterial to protect your skin and that of your helpers fromthe arc rays.

4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammablescreening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor exposethemselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

ELECTRIC SHOCK cankill.3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits

are electrically “hot” when the welder is on.Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bareskin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free

gloves to insulate hands.

3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your fullarea of physical contact with work and ground.

In addition to the normal safety precautions, if weldingmust be performed under electrically hazardousconditions (in damp locations or while wearing wetclothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings orscaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable oraccidental contact with the workpiece or ground) usethe following equipment:

• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.

3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomaticwelding gun are also electrically “hot”.

3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electricalconnection with the metal being welded. The connectionshould be as close as possible to the area being welded.

3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical(earth) ground.

3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable andwelding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replacedamaged insulation.

3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.

3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts ofelectrode holders connected to two welders because voltagebetween the two can be the total of the open circuit voltageof both welders.

3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protectyourself from a fall should you get a shock.

3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.

FUMES AND GASEScan be dangerous.5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases

hazardous to health. Avoid breathing thesefumes and gases.When welding, keepyour head out of the fume. Use enoughventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep

fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. Whenwelding with electrodes which require specialventilation such as stainless or hard facing (seeinstructions on container or MSDS) or on lead orcadmium plated steel and other metals or coatingswhich produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure aslow as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. Inconfined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, arespirator may be required. Additional precautions arealso required when welding on galvanized steel.

5.b. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vaporscoming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.

The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors toform phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.

5.c. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air andcause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

5.d. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for thisequipment and the consumables to be used, including thematerial safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow youremployer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available fromyour welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

5.e. Also see item 1.b. Mar ‘95

FOR ELECTRICALLYpowered equipment.

8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnectswitch at the fuse box before working onthe equipment.

8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. NationalElectrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’srecommendations.

8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. NationalElectrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

CYLINDER may explodeif damaged.7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders

containing the correct shielding gas for theprocess used and properly operatingregulators designed for the gas and

pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable forthe application and maintained in good condition.

7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securelychained to an undercarriage or fixed support.

7.c. Cylinders should be located:• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected tophysical damage.

• A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations andany other source of heat, sparks, or flame.

7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any otherelectrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.

7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outletwhen opening the cylinder valve.

7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and handtight except when the cylinder is in use or connected foruse.

7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gascylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l,“Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases inCylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

Mar ‘95

WELDING SPARKS cancause fire or explosion.6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area.

If this is not possible, cover them to preventthe welding sparks from starting a fire.Remember that welding sparks and hot

materials from welding can easily go through small cracksand openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding nearhydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.

6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,special precautions should be used to prevent hazardoussituations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSIStandard Z49.1) and the operating information for theequipment being used.

6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrodecircuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contactcan cause overheating and create a fire hazard.

6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until theproper steps have been taken to insure that such procedureswill not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substancesinside. They can cause an explosion even though they havebeen “cleaned”. For information, purchase “RecommendedSafe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting ofContainers and Piping That Have Held HazardousSubstances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society(see address above).

6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting orwelding. They may explode.

6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oilfree protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wearear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in awelding area.

6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the weldingarea as practical. Work cables connected to the buildingframework or other locations away from the welding areaincrease the possibility of the welding current passingthrough lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate cir-cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chainsor cables until they fail.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉPour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instruc-tions et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissentdans ce manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûretégénérales suivantes:

Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:

a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tensionquand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujourstout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nueou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sanstrous pour isoler les mains.

b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand onsoude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un planchermetallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans

les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles unegrande partie du corps peut être en contact avec lamasse.

c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câblede soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr étatdefonctionnement.

d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour lerefroidir.

e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tensiondes porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à soud-er parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être letotal de la tension à vide des deux machines.

f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source decourant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautionspour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet desoudage.

2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se pro-téger contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Nejamais enrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quellepartie du corps.

3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel,donc:

a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant appropriéainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux durayonnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soudeou quand on regarde l’arc.

b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger lapeau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement del‘arc.

c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité ausoudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflamma-bles.

4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc desoudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protectionlibres de l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse,pantalons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.

5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone desoudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans leszones où l’on pique le laitier.

6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin deprévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.

7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé dela masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer unéchauffement et un risque d’incendie.

8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possiblede la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on placela masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autresendroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risquede voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev-age, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquerdes risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et descâbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.

9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôlesgalvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal quiproduit des fumeés toxiques.

10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenantd’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. Lachaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec lesvapeurs du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas forte-ment toxique) ou autres produits irritants.

11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté,voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSAStandard W 117.2-1974.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POURLES MACHINES À SOUDER ÀTRANSFORMATEUR ET ÀREDRESSEUR

1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au codede l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dis-positif de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché àune bonne mise à la terre.

2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du posteseront effectués par un électricien qualifié.

3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’ interieur de poste, ladebrancher à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.

4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leurplace.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION

Place the welder where clean cooling air can freelycirculate in through the side louvers and out throughthe rear louvers. Dirt, dust or any foreign material thatcan be drawn into the welder should be kept at aminimum. Failure to observe these precautions canresult in excessive operating temperatures andnuisance shut-downs. Idealarc CV-400-I powersources carry an IP23 enclosure rating. They arerated for use in damp, dirty environments subject tooccasional falling water such as rain.

STACKING

The CV-400-I may be stacked three-high provided thebottom machine is on a stable, hard, level surface. Besure that the two pins in the roof fit into the slots in thebase of the CV-400-I above it.

TILTING

Do not place the machine on a surface that is inclinedenough to create a risk of the machine falling over.

INPUT CONNECTIONS

Be sure the voltage, phase, and frequency of the inputpower is as specified on the welder nameplate.

Gain access to the input reconnect panel by removingthe right case side of the CV-400-I (side nearest to thePower switch.)

Have a qualified electrician connect the input leads toL1, L2, and L3 of the input reconnect panel in accor-dance with the National Electrical Code, all localcodes, and the connection diagram located on theinside of the right case side. Use a three phase line.

The frame of the welder must be grounded. A groundterminal marked with the symbol located on thebase of the machine is provided for this purpose. Seethe National Electrical Code for details on propergrounding methods.

Fuse the input circuit with the recommended super lagfuses. Choose an input and grounding wire sizeaccording to local codes or use the following table."Delay type"1 circuit breakers may be used in place offuses. Using fuses or circuit breakers smaller thanrecommended may result in "nuisance" tripping fromwelder inrush currents even if not welding at high cur-rents.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.• Only qualified personnel should

perform this installation.• Turn the input power OFF at the discon-

nect switch or fuse box before working onthis equipment.

• Turn the Power switch on the CV-400-I“OFF” before connecting or disconnect-ing output cables, wire feeder or remoteconnections, or other equipment.

• Do not touch electrically hot parts.

• Always connect the Idealarc CV-400-Igrounding terminal (located on the welderbase near the reconnect panel) to a goodelectrical earth ground.

STARTING THE MACHINE

The power switch at the extreme right side of the con-trol panel energizes the CV-400-I.

ADJUSTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGEUSING THE DIGITAL METER

The digital meters in the CV-400-I incorporate a voltage pre-set function. This allows the operator to set the desiredwelding voltage before striking an arc. The digital meterscan also display welding current.

To make use of the voltage preset function, the Volts/Ampsswitch must be in the "Volts" position. Turn the VoltageAdjust knob until the digital meter displays the desired weld-ing voltage. (See below if an external power source remotecontrol is installed.)

When an arc is struck, the digital meter displays the actualwelding voltage, as measured at the CV-400-I output termi-nals.

NOTE: The arc voltage at the electrode may be as much astwo volts different from the CV-400-I output terminalvoltage. This is due to voltage drops present in thewelding cables, cable connections, and weldinggun. To minimize these drops, use cables of ade-quate capacity, and make sure all connections areclean and tight. Because of these voltage drops,you may have to preset the CV-400-I for a slightlyhigher welding voltage than your procedure calls for.

To read welding current, set the Volts/Amps switch to the"Amps" position. The welding current will be displayedwhenever an arc is struck.

LOCAL/REMOTE SWITCH OPERATION

If voltage control is desired at the CV-400-I, theLocal/Remote switch must be in the "Local" position. TheVoltage Adjust on the front panel can be used to adjust theCV-400-I output. (The remote control, even if connected,will have no effect if the switch is in the "Local" position).

To use a remote control, such as the K857 (see INSTALLA-TION section), place the Local/Remote switch (see FigureB.1) in the "Remote" position. The remote control now con-trols the output voltage, in the manner described above.This control may be adjusted while welding to change theCV-400-I output.

AUXILIARY POWER

42 volt AC auxiliary power, as required for some wirefeeders, is available through the wire feeder recepta-cle. A 10 amp circuit breaker protects the 42 volt cir-cuit from overloads.

CV-400-I Export machines only can also supply 115volt AC auxiliary power through the wire feeder recep-tacle. A 5 amp circuit breaker protects the 115 voltcircuit from overloads.

The CV-400-I can supply 220 volt AC power at 2amps for powering water coolers or other equipment.This auxiliary power is available from the ContinentalEuropean type receptacle mounted on the case back.A 2 amp circuit breaker, located next to the recepta-cle, protects this auxiliary from overloads.

NOTE: Do not use circuits 2 or 4 for control of auxil-iary loads. (The 2-4 circuit is isolated from the31-32 and 41-42 circuits.)

Note that some types of equipment, especially pumpsand large motors, have starting currents which aresignificantly higher than their running current. Thesehigher starting currents may cause the circuit breakerto open. If this situation occurs, the user should refrainfrom using the CV-400-I auxiliary power for that equip-ment.___________________________________________

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

This welder has thermostatic protection from exces-sive duty cycles, overloads, loss of cooling, and highambient temperatures. When the welder is subjectedto an overload or loss of cooling, a thermostat willopen. This condition will be indicated by the illumina-tion of the yellow Thermostatic Protection Light on thecase front (see Figure B.1).The fan will continue to runto cool the power source. No welding is possible untilthe machine is allowed to cool and the ThermostaticProtection Light goes out.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

1. The fan motor has sealed bearings which requireno service.

2. In extremely dusty locations, dirt may clog the airchannels causing the welder to run hot with prema-ture tripping of thermal protection. Blow out thewelder with low pressure air at regular intervals toeliminate excessive dirt and dust build-up on inter-nal parts.

MACHINE AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION

The CV-400-I Control PC Board has built-in diagnosticroutines to alert the operator when trouble exists.When a trouble condition occurs, the CV-400-I meterwill display an error code, in the form "EXX", where"XX" refers to a specif ic error. See TROU-BLESHOOTING section for an explanation of the errorcodes.

The power source is thermostatically protectedagainst overload or insufficient cooling. If the machineis overloaded, the thermostat will open, thermal pro-tection indicator light will turn on, and the output willbe zero. The fan will continue to run and auxiliarypower will still be available. The thermostat willremain open until the machine cools, at which time itwill close and the output will again be available.

The CV-400-I is electronically protected against over-loads and accidental short circuits. The overload pro-tection circuit automatically reduces the output currentto a safe value when an overload is detected. If thecircuitry senses a short circuit, it will shut off the CV-400-I output. The short circuit protection circuit canbe reset by turning the CV-400-I Power switch OFFfor at least 10 seconds. Remove the short beforeturning the Power switch ON again.

CAUTION

Procedure for Replacing PC Boards

Before replacing a PC board which is suspected ofbeing defective, visually inspect the PC board in ques-tion for any electrical or mechanical damage to any ofits components and conductors on the back of theboard.

a. If there is no visible damage to the PC board,install a new one and see if this remedies the prob-lem. If the problem is remedied, reinstall the oldPC board to see if the problem still exists. If itdoes no longer exist with old PC board:

1. Check the PC board harness connector pins forcorrosion, contamination, or looseness.

2. Check leads in the plug harness for loose orintermittent connection.

b. If PC board is visibly damaged electrically, beforepossibly subjecting the new PC board to the samecause of failure, check for possible shorts, opens,or grounds caused by:

1. Frayed or pinched lead insulation.

2. Poor lead termination, such as a poor contactor a short to adjacent connection or surface.

3. Shorted or open motor leads, or other externalleads.

4. Foreign matter or interference behind the PCboards.

c. If PC board is visibly damaged mechanically,inspect for cause, then remedy before installing areplacement PC board.

If there is damage to the PC board or if replacingPC board corrects problem, return it to the localLincoln Electric Field Service Shop.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.• Have a qualified individual install and

service this equipment.• Turn the power source input power off

at the disconnect switch before work-ing on this equipment.

• Do not touch electrically hot parts.---------------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING

PC BOARD TROUBLESHOOTINGPROCEDURES

CONTROL PC BOARD

The Control PC Board controls all machine functionsincluding the thermal protection indicator light and theMeter PC Board. Most problems, if not caused byfaulty wiring machine misuse, will stem from a faultyControl PC Board.

Perform the following diagnostic procedure beforereplacing the Control PC Board.

1. Turn off the input power at the fuse box.

2. Check for loose connections in the PC Boardplugs, particularly J3.

3. Disconnect the J3 plug from the Control PC Board.Measure the resistance between the following wireterminals in the plug:

A) Between wire #200 and wire #201.

B) Between wire #202 and wire #203.

Both of these resistances should be less than 1 ohm.

If these resistances are not less than 1 ohm, check thewiring back to the main transformer.

If these voltages are less than 1 ohm, refer to"Procedure for Replacing PC Boards."

METER PC BOARD

When the Meter PC Board malfunctions, first determineif the rest of the machine functions correctly. If so, thenthe problem is in either the harness between the meterand control boards, or in the meter board itself. Referto "Procedure for Replacing PC Boards". As a lastresort, the Control PC Board may have to be replaced.

E-8TROUBLESHOOTINGE-8

CV-400-I

If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the tests/repairs safely, contact yourLocal Lincoln Authorized Field Service Facility for technical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed.

CAUTION

OUTPUT VOLTAGE

The open circuit voltage of the machine should be 10to 43 volts. If any other condition exists, refer to theTroubleshooting Guide.

FAULT PROTECTION OPERATION

The overload protection circuit on the PC Board willcause the CV-400-I meter to display "E60". This pro-tection circuit will reset itself automatically. The shortcircuit protection circuit will cause the meter to display"E00". The CV-400-I power switch must be turned"OFF" and then "ON" to return the machine to normaloutput.

CHECKING SNUBBER CIRCUIT

In case of an SCR malfunction or failure, the snubberassembly should be checked. Disconnect the inputpower to the CV-400-I at the fuse box and remove theright side of the machine.

1.Visually inspect the snubber PC Board assembly(located below the Control PC board on the case frontfor overheated components or damaged compo-nents).

OPTIONAL K857 REMOTE CONTROLCHECK

Disconnect the remote output control and connect an ohm-meter between pins C and B and rotate the rheostat in theremote control. The resistance reading should go from zeroto 10K ohms. Repeat with ohmmeter across A and B withthe same results. Connect ohmmeter across A and C. Thereading should be 10K ohms. A lower reading will indicate ashorted or partially shorted rheostat. A very high readingwill indicate an open rheostat. In either of the last twocases, replace the rheostat.
