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.

The circuit boards are divided into numbered blocks. 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" chapter

in this manual.

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

February 2019.

The manual is valid for EWT1000 with serial no. 841- and 905-xxx-xxxx.

NOTE!

The unit is tested by ESAB in a general set-up. The responsibility for safety and

function, of the specific set-up, lies with the integrator.

EWT1000 is designed and tested in accordance with the standards stated in the instruction

manual. On completion of service or repair work, it is the responsibility of the person(s)

performing the work to ensure that the product still complies with the requirements of the

involved standards.

CAUTION!

Read and understand the instruction manual before

installing or operating.

CAUTION!

STATIC ELECTRICITY can damage circuit boards and

electronic components.

• Observe precautions for handling electrostatic

sensitive devices.

• Use proper static-proof bags and boxes.

INTRODUCTION

The EWT 1000 automatic welding equipment is designed for Submerged Arc Welding

(SAW) and MIG/MAG welding of butt and fillet joints.

All other applications are prohibited.

EWT 1000 is roughly divided into these four modules:

• Tractor carriage

• Bobbin holder

• Welding head EWH 1000, covered in service manual 0463 656 001.

• Column including the control unit EAC10, covered in service manual 0463 610 001

NOTE!

For service instruction to the welding head and control unit, see the separate

manuals.

ERROR CODES

ERROR CODES

Error codes are used in order to indicate and identify a fault in the equipment.

All faults that occur when using the welding equipment are documented as error messages in

the error log in the control unit EAC10. For further information about error codes, refer to the

EAC10 service manual (0463610001).

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION!

STATIC ELECTRICITY can damage circuit boards and

electronic components.

• Observe precautions for handling electrostatic

sensitive devices.

• Use proper static-proof bags and boxes.

The EWT 1000 automatic welding equipment consists of a number of function modules. The

circuit board and component names and the wire numbers in the wiring diagram, show to

which module each board/component/wire belongs. The function modules, circuit boards and

components are listed in the component description below.

Components outside modules - e.g. capacitors - are named such as C1 - C99, connectors

XS1 - XS99 (S = socket), XT1 - XT99 (T = terminal).

Circuit boards within each module have names such as 20AP1 - 20AP99.

20 = module association, 1-69

AP = circuit board

1 = individual identification number, 0-99

Transistors within particular modules have identification numbers such as 15Q1 - 15Q99.

15 = module association, 1-69

Q = transistor

1 = individual identification number, 0-99

NOTE!

Travel motor encoder supply voltage: 5VDC.
