METER CALIBRATION ADJUSTMENT

The Precision TIG meter circuits are factory calibrated for the accuracy of the ammeter and voltmeter (see Section B Panel Control Functions), and should not need adjustment. However, the factory trimmers are accessible inside the control box (see Section D Component Access):

•The Meter Board, located on the front panel of the machine, is digital and has no calibration capability.

•Ammeter Calibration Trimmer (R5) is located on the Control PC Board (left of center near the top of the board). This trimmer adjusts calibration of the ammeter circuit to the digital panel Meter, so it should be checked after the Digital Meter check above. The ammeter calibration is checked as follows:

1.Set to TIG mode with DC- polarity and LOCAL control. Without closing the arc start switch, preset the Maximum Output panel control so the panel digital Meter reads about 200 amps.

2.Using a DC (avg.) test ammeter with at least 1% accuracy at up to 300 amps, connect it to measure the DC current through a short weld cable shorting out the WORK (+) to ELECTRODE (-) studs on the front stud panel. Remove the TIG torch, if connected.

3.Close the arc start switch just long enough to compare the panel Meter reading to that of the test ammeter. The short circuit current readings should match within 4%+/-2A. If not, adjust the trimmer so that the panel meter accuracy is corrected.

•Voltmeter Calibration Trimmer (R2) is located on the Control PC Board (right of center near the top of the board). This trimmer adjusts calibration of the voltmeter circuit to the digital panel Meter, so it should be checked after the Digital Meter check above. The voltmeter calibration is checked as fol- lows:

1.To prevent maximum OCV output (which is not precise for voltmeter checking) discon- nect the SCR gate lead plug from recepta- cle J4 on the lower left corner of the Control PC board.

2.Set to TIG mode with DC- polarity without closing the arc start switch.

3.Using a DC (avg.) test voltmeter with at least 1% accuracy at up to 100 volts, con- nect it across the WORK (+) and ELEC- TRODE (-) studs on the front stud panel. Remove the TIG torch, if connected.

4.Press the DISPLAY panel switch to V (volts) position, then close the arc start switch just long enough* to compare the panel Meter reading to that of the test volt meter. The open circuit voltage readings (about 50vdc) should match within 3%+/-1V. If not, adjust the trimmer so that the panel meter accura- cy is corrected.

* If switch is held closed longer than about 15 seconds the Precision TIG will shut down to protect internal holding resistor from overheating.

UNDER-COOLER SERVICE
