DESCRIPTION OF BOARD LA07 (A1) OPERATION
Power supply
The board is supplied with 24V a.c. voltage (contacts 8, 9 connectors X1). Two step voltage regulation
(elements T9, U1) provides voltage 15 V ± 5% for control system of power supply.
Inputs
1. Auxiliary contact of main contactor type NO - 11,12 X1,
2. Contact of temperature sensor type NC - 4,1 X1,
3. Contact of liquid pressure sensor type NO - 2,3 X1,
4. Reserved input - 6,7 X1,
5. Reserved input - 5,10 X1.
Outputs
1. Fan switch contact NO, MOV 275V - 1,6 X2, (6- common phased contact)
2. Pump switch contact NO, MOV275V - 3,6 X2, (6- common phased contact)
3. Power supply switch for feeder type
NO , MOV 75V - 1,2 X4,
4. Power supply for LED diode green-yellow (H1) - 1,2,3 X3 (2-common cathode)
5. Power supply for LED diode green (H2) - 6,7 X3 (6-cathode)
6. Power supply for LED diode green (H3) - 4,5 X3 (5-cathode)
LED diodes – external
1. H1 – two colours : green - unit on signal,
yellow - unit off signal ,
2. H2 – yellow: on when unit overheated
3. H3 – green: on when cooling liquid flow is correct
Operation
After switching on the unit, power is supplied to the wire feeder (relay PK1), fan (relay PK2) and pump (relay
PK3). If within 5s the signal form liquid pressure sensor (contact NO) is not supplied, power supply circuit of
wire feeder shall be disconnected. Power supply shall be restored after signal from pressure sensor has been
received. Correct pressure (liquid flow) is indicated by illuminating green diode on front panel of the unit (H3).
Supply of power feeder is disconnected also by means of signal from external thermal switches of NC type.
Overheating is indicated by illuminating yellow diode (H2) on front panel of the unit. Power supply of wire
feeder shall be restored after the temperature has dropped.
Counter-oscillator U2 is reset when main contactor operates and during overheating. 5 minutes after
contactor has been switched off and overheating temperature has dropped, the pump is switched off (relay
PK3), and after 10-minute period – fan is switched off (relay PK2). When the fan is switched off, the unit
turns into idle mode, which is indicated by illuminating yellow diode H1. Power is still supplied to wire feeder
(relay PK1).
In idle mode, with switched off pump, it is possible to start welding process by means of switch on the torch.
Then contactor is switched on again, counter-oscillator U2 is reset, fan and pump are switched on. Within 5s
signal from liquid pressure sensor shall be received. If not, power supply circuit of wire feeder shall be
disconnected (relay PK1). Power supply shall be restored after signal form pressure sensor is received.

*Duty cycle is based on 10-minute period. Cycle of 60% means that after 6 minutes of the operation, 4
minutes break is required. Cycle of 100% means that the unit can operate continuously.
Warning:
The unit is characterised by the following:
- Safety class IP 23 which means that the unit can be used indoors and outdoors
- Application class S which means that the unit can be used in areas with increased electric shock
LAY 500 units are equipped with four wire cables of 5 m length which enable to connect three phase supply
voltage 3x400V/3x500V. Power supply circuit should have a safety mains switch and appropriate fuses or
automatic switches appropriate to nominal power supply parameters.

START UP AND OPERATION OF THE UNIT
! WARNING !
Before connecting cables to terminals and or output sockets of the unit, disconnect mains switch (in
switch board) and disconnect power supply from mains.
1. Put cylinder with shielding gas shelf in the back of power source and protect from falling with a fastened
chain.
2. Remove gas cylinder cap and open valve for a short time in order to remove impurities which might
collect in connector.
3. Install regulator to cylinder.
If CO

used first install gas heater and next regulator on cylinder. Power supply cable to gas heater to be
connected to LAY 500 through a hole in a back panel and connect to terminal strip X2 places inside the
unit near the hole.
Warning: If neutral of mixed gases are used, it is not allowed to use gas heater.
4. Connect regulator with connector in the back panel of wire feeder by means of gas hose.
5. Connect current cable with vice to welded material in area providing good electrical contact, and on the
other side to one of three current sockets "-" marked as
, and .
6. Connect current socket "+" of power source and current plug "+" of wire feeder with current cable.
7. Connect socket of power source and plug of wire feeder with control cable.
8. Connect welding torch of appropriate rated current and wire feeder by means of quick-connecting joint.
9. Prepare wire feeder to be ready to operate according to instruction manual. If required wire feeder might
be placed on power source on guide pin (Fig. 10.1) or next to power source.
10. Fill cooling system tank with cooling liquid. Correct level of cooling liquid is marked with a symbol
on
the back panel of power source.
Depending on ambient temperature the following cooling liquid shall be used:
- Distilled water at temperature from 0°C to +40°C
- Solution 30% Antifreeze Coolant + 70% distilled water at temperature from -10°C
11. Connect connecting pipes of welding torch cooling installation and proper quick-connecting joints of wire
feeder, next connect wire feeder with power source observing that colours of hoses and their endings
are synchronised with colours of quick-connecting joint.
WARNING: If welding troches cooled with gas are used (no water cooling), close water cooling
system with a connector supplied with power source. Connector shall be fixed between
connecting pipes of the torch situated on the front panel of the wire feeder.
WARNING: Welding with water cooled torch with simultaneous closing of cooling system with
connector will cause damage of the torch!
A. POWER ON/OFF SWITCH (in the front panel of the unit) Turning this switch to the “I” position (Fig. 5.1,
pos.1) applies power to the unit. The green LED diode (Fig.5.1, pos.4) will illuminate indicating that power
is supplied to the equipment. The cooling fan and pump motor will also be switched on. Illuminating green
LED diode (Fig. 5.1, pos.5) indicates correct liquid circulation in the system. When the welding process is
stopped, the pump is disconnected after 5 minutes. After another 5-minute period the fan is disconnected
and the unit turns into idle mode. Yellow LED diode (Fig.5.1, pos.4) will illuminate. When welding
process is started again fan and pump are activated automatically.
WARNING: If pump emits irregular noises after activation it indicates presence of air inside it. In this
case the unit must be switched off and immediately switched on again.
B. WELDING VOLTAGE SETTING is carried out by means of coarse control 5 position switch (Fig. 5.1,
pos. 2) and fine control 8 position switch (Fig.5.1, pos.3). It is therefor possible to select 40 different
welding voltage outputs.
WARNING: Operating these voltage switches (Fig. 5.1, pos. 2,3) during welding process with loaded
power source can cause damage to the unit!
