hOw tO use the remOte COntrOl

Connect the R10 remote control unit to the service connection A7. Power source detects

the new device automatically, and the reference value of the remote control unit appears

on the display.

Set the desired gouging current with the remote control adjusting knob.

To stop using the remote control, disconnect it from the power source. The display starts

to show the gouging current that was used before connecting the remote control unit,

and the current control returns to the control panel.

3.3

startinG OF the pOwer sOurCe

Start the power source by turning the main switch A2 on the front panel to the I position. The

standby indicator A3 turns on.
The cooling fan is started for a moment when the main switch is turned to the ‘I’ position. The

fan turns off after a while and then restarts during gouging when the machine has warmed

up sufficiently. The fan continues running up to 10 minutes after gouging, depending on the

temperature of the machine.

NOTE!

Always turn the device on and off using the main switch, not via the mains socket.

3.3.1 automatic function test

During the power source start-up, the machine automatically performs a function test. The

test covers the following functions:

• Software version check. The left-hand side display shows the program version of

the control panel for one second. The display on the right displays the power source

program version.

• Indicator light and button functionality. All indicator lights and display segment LEDs

blink.

• System functions. If the system encounters a fault, a fault code is shown on the display.

• Implementation of factory settings or preset settings.

If the function test is successful, the machine is ready for use and the current and voltage

values are shown in the control panel.
If a fault has been detected in the function test, the display flashes the error code and the

yellow indicator light in the front panel of the power source blinks. For instructions, see

Troubleshooting.

3.3.2 Front panel indicators

The following indicators can be found on the front panel of the device:

• When the green indicator A3 is on, the power source is in standby mode. This indicator

is on when the machine is connected to the mains supply with the main switch in the ‘I’

position.

• When the yellow overheating indicator A4 is on, the machine has overheated. When the

indicator turns off, the machine can be used again.

• When indicator A4 blinks, the machine has encountered a failure. For instructions, see

Troubleshooting.

3.4

COntrOl panel FunCtiOns

The control panel allows the user to control and monitor the operation of the machine.

The buttons and the control knob are used to adjust the current used in gouging and other

machine parameters. The current and voltage values are shown on the control panel displays

while working.

3.4.1 adjusting the gouging current

The required gouging current is set with the control knob in the control panel. The accuracy

of adjustment is 10 A, which means that turning the control knob one notch increases or

decreases the current by 10 amperes.
If you turn the control knob quickly, you can quickly adjust the gouging current in increments

of 100 A for each notch.
