DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
AP1 Control board
Control board AP1 switches fan, pump and wire feeder supply on and off.
Inputs – 60V dc, ouputs – relays 16A/250V + indicating LEDs.
AP1:1 Start
When switched on, indicators are checked for 2 seconds. Normally, if the
machine is not overheated, it should start to work in idle mode, which is
indicated by blinking of the supply–ON lamp. The fan and the coolant pump
are stopped.
The fan starts from the first start of welding. The coolant pump starts at the
same moment, if it is switched on by means of either the ELP switch on the
wire feeder, or the pump supply switch on the power source.
AP1:2 Overheating protection
The power source has 2–step control of fan speed and overheating protection.
If temperature crosses the threshold point, the fan starts to operate with
increased speed. If the internal temperature becomes too high, the supply of
the wire feeder is switched off. This state is indicated by permanent lighting of
the orange indicating lamp on the front of the unit. Wire feeder supply restores
automatically when the temperature falls down.
ESABMig 405
The thermal overload cutout ST1, is fitted in the L1 inductor winding. It opens
at temperature of 150
o
C, and closes at 120
o
C.

ESABMig 505
Two, connected in series thermal overload cutouts are applied: ST1 is fitted in
the TM1 transformer winding; ST2 is fitted in the V1 diode bridge.
ST1, ST2 open at a temperature of 130
o
C, and close at 100
o
C.
AP1:3 Water connection
The ESABFeed has a sensor ELP, ESAB Logic Pump, which senses whether
the water hoses of the welding gun are connected. When a water cooled
welding gun is connected, the water pump is activated by means of control
board AP1. For the ESABFeeds the pump supply switch on the power source
should be left in position ”0/ELP”.
It is recommended to switch the power source off by means of the mains
switch ON/OFF for connecting the cooling water hoses to/from the ESABFeed
wire feed unit.
The pump supply switch must be in position ”I” exclusively for other types of
wire feeders, when a water cooled welding gun is used. When a self cooled
welding gun is used the pump switch must be in position ”ELP/0”.
Note. If a water cooled welding gun is used when the pump is inactive, the
welding gun might be damaged.
AP1:4 Water flow guard
The water flow guard interrupts and disables the welding in the event of loss of
coolant. This state is indicated by blinking of the orange indicating lamp on the
front of the power source.
If there is a lack a coolant flow, after 1 min the pump is switched off and
latched in that state. The pump restarts from that state along with start of
welding.
AP1:5 Idle mode
After long pause the control board switched the machine to the idle mode. The
fan is switched off 5 min after the last welding or after 5 min of work with
decreased speed without welding.
The pump is switched off 3 min after the last welding. When both fan and
pump are switched off the power supply lamp on the front panel is blinking.

AP1 – Components position
V7 Start booster – inductor short–circuiter
V7:1 Principle of operation
The ESABMig 405 is supplied with an inductor short–circuiter that makes the welding starts
easier.
Terminal 1 is connected to inductor terminal XS3. When welding starts, IC1 is activated by
voltage drop across the inductor. Terminal 2 is connected to the positive terminal of the
welding current and provides a power supply for the circuit board. Thyristor TY1 on the
circuit board is triggered by IC1 and in turn triggers the short–circuiting thyristor, the gate of
which is connected to terminal 3. Terminal 4 is connected to the cathode of the
short–circuiting thyristor, that forms the neutral point of the circuit board.
A time delay, consisting of C6 and R5, causes IC1 to change state and interrupt the gate
current to thyristor TY1 after about 200 milliseconds. On conclusion of welding, C4
discharges through resistor R4. If a new weld start occurs before the voltage across C4 has
Edition 030409
– 14 –
1s405505
fallen below the changeover voltage of IC1, the thyristor will not be turned on. This prevents
the thyristor from firing if the break in welding is less than about 0.5 seconds.

AP2 Digital instrument
AP2:1 Calibration and voltage correction
The meter has a possibility of the voltage and current calibration, as well as a possibility
of the current–dependant voltage correction, to show a voltage approximately equal to
the actual arc voltage.
Since all meters are factory calibrated it is recommended to carry out a second
calibration only if it’s needed. In most applications a zero voltage correction (no
correction) is factory adjusted.
For the calibration an accurate reference meter and a resistance load are required. The
resistance load should force at least 100A current flow.
For calibration following actions should be done:
1 Switch the machine on and load it. The meter should indicate voltage and current
presence.
2 Press simultaneously both pushbuttons placed on the meter PC board. In sequence,
symbols of the calibration modes appear: ”U” – voltage calibration, ”I” – current
calibration, ”dU” – voltage correction. Release the buttons as the required mode
appears.
3 Adjust the voltage or the current value equal to the value shown by the reference meter
by means of the pushbuttons: S1 – ”+”, S2 – ”–”.
Voltage calibration mode
The reference meter should be connected to the same potentials as a calibrated meter.
Exclusively in this mode a voltage without correction is shown on display.
Edition 030409
– 15 –1s405505
Voltage correction mode
The reference meter should be connected to the end of mass cable and to the torch
current tip, which are connected to the external load. In this mode, as well as during the
regular work, the meter shows a voltage taking in account voltage drops on cables and
welding torch. An adjustment of the voltage correction should be carried out only in
assumption of the proper voltage calibration and in the presence of load current above
100A.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
What is ESD?
A sudden transfer or discharge of static electricity from one object to another. ESD stands for
Electrostatic Discharge.
How does ESD damage occur?
ESD can cause damage to sensitive electrical components, but is not dangerous to people.
ESD damage occurs when an ungrounded person or object with a static charge comes into
contact with a component or assembly that is grounded. A rapid discharge can occur,
causing damage. This damage can take the form of immediate failure, but it is more likely
that system performance will be affected and the component will fail prematurely.
How do we prevent ESD damage?
ESD damage can be prevented by awareness. If static electricity is prevented from building
up on you or on anything at your work station, then there cannot be any static discharges.
Nonconductive materials (e.g. fabrics), or insulators (e.g. plastics) generate and hold static
charge, so you should not bring unnecessary nonconductive items into the work area.
It is obviously difficult to avoid all such items, so various means are used to drain off any
static discharge from persons to prevent the risk of ESD damage. This is done by simple
devices: wrist straps, connected to ground, and conductive shoes.
Work surfaces, carts and containers must be conductive and grounded, use only antistatic
packaging materials. Overall, handling of ESD–sensitive devices should be minimized to
prevent damage.
WARNING !
STATIC ELECTRICITY can damage circuit
boards and electronic components.
S Observe precautions for handling electrostatic
sensitive devices.
S Use proper static–proof bags and boxes.
