ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Routine maintenance consists of periodically blowing out the machine, using a low-pressure air stream, to remove accumulated dust and dirt from the intake and outlet louvers, and the cooling channels in the machine.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Calibration of the POWER WAVE® R350 is critical to its operation. Generally speaking the calibration will not need adjustment. However, neglected or improp- erly calibrated machines may not yield satisfactory weld performance. To ensure optimal performance, the calibration of output Voltage and Current should be checked yearly.

CALIBRATION SPECIFICATION

Output Voltage and Current are calibrated at the fac- tory. Generally the machine calibration will not need adjustment. However, if the weld performance changes, or the yearly calibration check reveals a problem, use the calibration section of the Diagnostics Utility to make the appropriate adjust- ments.

The calibration procedure itself requires the use of a grid, and certified actual meters for voltage and cur- rent. The accuracy of the calibration will be directly affected by the accuracy of the measuring equipment you use. The Diagnostics Utility includes detailed instructions, and is available on the Service Navigator CD or at www.powerwavesoftware.com.
