READ THIS FIRST

Maintenance and repair work must be performed by an experienced person, and electrical

work only by a trained electrician. Use only recommended replacement parts.

This service manual is intended for use by technicians with electrical/electronic training for

help in connection with fault-tracing and repair.

Use the wiring diagram as a form of index for the description of operation. The circuit boards

are divided into numbered blocks, which are described individually in more detail in the

description of operation. Component names in the wiring diagram are listed in the

component description.

Use the spare parts list as a guide to where the components are located in the equipment.

The spare parts list is published as a separate document, see the "SPARE PARTS AND

ACCESSORIES" chapter in this manual.

This manual contains details of design changes that have been made up to and including

December 2017.

The manual is valid for:

REMOTE ADAPTER KIT

Connceting remote adapter kit

Remote kit Railtrac/Miggytrac for Aristo Feed 3004/4804 & Origo Feed 3004/4804.

CAN Adapter kit.

Miggytrac / Railtrac 0459 681 880

CAN adapter

The CAN adapter option is used when Miggytrac, Railtrac or a welding gun with pull motor is

connected to the wire feeder.

Connection instructions for the option are included in the delivery. There is a copy of the

instructions in section "Connection instructions".

The adapter board has a software identity, machine ID. The ID defines how the welding

equipment reacts on the commands from the connected equipment. The CAN adapter

options are delivered with correct machine ID. Spare part boards are delivered without

machine ID. To read or change the machine ID you need the ESAT service kit, see chapter

"Software update and configuration".

The CAN adapter board has a built-in terminating resistor. The resistor is disconnected on

delivery of this option. In most operating cases it should be disconnected.

It can be connected by a jumper over terminal J1 on the CAN adapter board. See the

component position diagram in section "Circuit board layout, CAN adapter and filter board".

Can adapter board, filter board and cable set connected to the control board of the wire

feeder.

Adapter option for Miggytrac / Railtrac 04590681880

The adapter board is delivered with machine ID 2.

Switch 13S2 is used for activating / deactivating the external control functions. When the

switch is in position B, the external controls are active and the control panel of the feeder is

inactive. In position A the control panel is active and the external controls inactive.

If the wire feeder is controlled by an U8, switch 13S2 has to be in position B. Then external

or internal control can be selected by the U8-2.

Instructions for "Fault indication measurements" on Railtrac interface PCBA

0440110880

REMOTE ADAPTER KIT

0463 466 001

- 20 -

Points to be checked if a faulty Railtrac-interface PCBA is expected:

For convenience perform the check with the Wire feeder (containing the Railtrac kit)

connected to a Warrior power source.

• Measure "V-" between CN3:3 and CN2:11 or. (-12V±3V)

• Measure "V-vb" between CN3:1 and CN1:7. (-12V±3V)

• Measure "Vboost" between CN3:2 and CN1:7. (17.5V±1V)

• Set remote control to min setting. "8V" should be shown in the display. Measured value

on "VREF_B" output (CN1:8 to CN1:7) should be approx. <50mV.

• Set remote control to max setting. "44V" should be shown in the display. Measured

value on "VREF_B" output (CN1:8 to CN1:7) should be 14.7V±0.5V. If measured

without Warrior power source output is approx. 15-15.5V due to absence of PS load

resistor.

• All output values for the "VREF_B" output should be within the range of ±0.25V of input

"VREF" (measured between CN2:2 and CN2:3) when swept between min (0V) and max

(~15V) values. If measured without Warrior power source deviation is bigger (<1V) due

to absence of the PS load resistor.

If measurement is failing on one or more points above the Railtrac PCBA needs to be

replaced. (Railtrac kit functionality could work with slightly higher deviations as well but may

be unreliable in performance.)
