3.3. OPERATION OF COOLING FAN

In Kemppi WeldForce KPS3500 there is one and in Kemppi WeldForce KPS4500 and Kemppi

WeldForce KPS5500 there are two simultaneously operating fans.

– The fan is started for a moment when main switch is placed into position I.

– The fan will start during welding as the machine heats up and it will run for 1 to 10 minutes

after the welding has stopped.

– On no-load fan is started in intervals of approx. half an hour for minute’s time.

4. MANUAL METAL ARC WELDING

The Kemppi WeldForce power source can be used in electrode welding by connecting a Kemppi

WeldForce KWF200, KWF300 wire feeder to it. The power source can be made suitable for

electrode welding without a wire feeder by connecting an R10 or R20 remote control to the X14

or X15 terminal at the back of the power source for welding current adjustment, and the welding

power cable connected to the power source’s (+) connector X11 or X12.

5. MAINTENANCE

The amount of use and the working environment should be taken into consideration when planning

the frequency of maintenance of the machine. Careful use and preventive maintenance will help

to ensure trouble-free operation.

5.1. CABLES

Make sure that the mains cables in use are safe and according to laid down regulations.

The repair and mounting of a mains connection cable should be carried out only by an authorised

electrician.

5.2. POWER SOURCE

Note! Disconnect the plug of the machine from the mains socket and wait approx.

2 minutes (capacitor charge) before removing the cover plate.

Check at least every half year:

– Electric connectors of the machine - clean the oxidised parts and tighten the loosened

ones.

– Note! You must know correction tension torques before starting the reparation of the

joints.

– Clean the inner parts of the machine from dust and dirt e.g. with a soft brush and vacuum

cleaner. Also clean the ventilation net behind the front grate.

– Do not use compressed air, there is a risk that dirt is packed even more tightly into gaps of

cooling proles.

– Do not use pressure washing device.

– Only authorised electrician shall carry out repairs to the machines.

5.3. REGULAR MAINTENANCE

Kemppi Service Workshops make regular maintenance according to agreement.

The major points in the maintenance procedure are listed as follows:

– Cleaning of the machine

– Checking and maintenance of the welding tools

– Checking of mains cable and plug

Kemppi WeldForce KpS3500, KpS4500, KpS5500, KpS3500mVU, KpS4500mVU, 5500KpSmVU / 0606 – 9

– Damaged parts or parts in bad connection are replaced by new ones

– Maintenance testing. Operation and performance values of the machine are checked, and

adjusted when necessary by means of test equipment.

6. OPERATION DISTURBANCES

In case of problems contact the Kemppi works in Lahti, Finland, or your local Kemppi dealer.

Check the maintenance objects before the machine is sent to the Service Workshop.

6.1. OPERATION OF THE OVERLOAD PROTECTION

Yellow pilot lamp H12 of thermal protection is lit when thermostat has operated due to overheating

of machine.

The thermostat of machine will operate, if machine is continuously loaded over rated values or

cooing air circulation is blocked.

Cooling fan cools down the machine and when the pilot lamp is not lit the machine is automatically

ready for welding.

6.2. CONTROL FUSES

Fuse F11, 6,3 A delayed, on the rear wall of machine is as protection for connection of auxiliary

devices X14-15.

Use same type and rating of fuse which is marked beside the fuse adapter. Damage

caused by a wrong type fuse is not covered by the guarantee.

6.3. UNDER- AND OVERVOLTAGES IN THE MAINS SUPPLY

Primary circuits of machine are protected against sudden, transient overvoltages.

Machine is designed to withstand 3 x 440 V voltage continuously (see technical data). See to

it that voltage is kept within admissible limits especially when mains supply is taken e.g. from

combustion engine generator.

If the mains has undervoltage (under approx. 300 V), machine control stops to operate

automatically.

6.4. LOSS OF A PHASE IN THE MAINS SUPPLY

Loss of a phase causes noticeable poorer welding properties than normally or the machine doesn’t

get started at all. Loss of a phase can be due to following:

– blowing of mains supply fuse

– defective mains cable

– bad connection of mains connection cable on terminal block or plug of machine
