Service manual Master S 400 and 500 Version 1.1 5.9.2014 1. READ THIS FIRST 560VDC or higher are inside the machine Before removing any covers or commencing any testing or measurement disconnect the power source from the mains voltage Dangerous DC voltage may still exist after the removal of the input voltage. Machine discharges the voltage while it is turned off, but it is always better to ensure this by measuring the voltage Wait at least one minute for the capacitors to become discharged.

Service manual Master S 400 and 500 Version 1.1 5.9.2014 3.5. Description of operation Master S is divided in to six functional parts Z001 main circuit card with control circuitry Over voltage protection IGBT based power section with full bridge architecture. Switching frequency is dual mode: 50kHz in low and 20kHz in higher output power.
Service manual Master S 400 and 500 Version 1.1 5.9.2014 3.6. Setup functions and error codes 3.6.1. Setup functions and menu Setup can be entered by pressing “Remote” button as long as text “Set” appears in the display. Parameters can be browsed with potentiometer and by pressing shortly “Remote” button parameter value can be adjusted by potentiometer.
Service manual Master S 400 and 500 Version 1.1 5.9.2014 3.6.2. Error codes and error log menu Machine can show several error codes and they are automatically saved to error log file. This log file can save up to 10 errors.
Service manual Master S 400 and 500 Version 1.1 5.9.2014 For example: latest error was Primary over voltage: 0.E3 one before that was phase watch error: 1.E9 No more error in the log, so other error rows are empty: 2.E-, 3.E-, 4.E- and so on Error log can be exited whenever by long pressing the A/V button.

Service manual Master S 400 and 500 Version 1.1 5.9.2014 Resetting the calibration data to factory values: Rotate potentiometer until “FAC” appears in the display and select it with short press of “A/V” button, display shows “OFF”. Change value with potentiometer to “rES” and when exiting the calibration state by long pressing A/V button, calibration data will be reset.
Service manual Master S 400 and 500 Version 1.1 5.9.2014 4. SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS 4.1. Measurements and tests Master has only few measurements that can be done because control circuitry is integrated to Z001 card and panel does have only potentiometer and few press buttons.

Service manual Master S 400 and 500 Version 1.1 5.9.2014 IGBT module IGBT IGBT module has 4 IGBTs and each one of these has diode in parallel. Module has also integrated NTC thermistor for overheat protection. Parallel diode Check the diodes using the multimeter diode function to measure their threshold voltage. Diodes must be measured both forward bias and reverse bias condition to make sure they are ok.

The cooling fans are installed so that the air flows from the back to the left side of the chassis. Air comes out through the front plate grill. Air deflector must be installed for proper cooling. 4.1.4. Safety tests Safety tests are made normally. See the separate document for safety tests in Kemppi Channel. Kemppi Oy...
Service manual Master S 400 and 500 Version 1.1 5.9.2014 4.2. Semiconductor installation It is a must be to use torque screwdriver while tightening any power components onto the heat sink. See following sections for tightening torques. 4.2.1. Rectifier and IGBT modules Master S has soldered rectifier and IGBT modules and it is not possible to change them separately.
Service manual Master S 400 and 500 Version 1.1 5.9.2014 4.3. Calibration procedure Calibration is not normally needed to be done. Spare part cards are calibrated in factory and will keep their range while installed in to the machine. If calibration parameters are accidentally modified, they can be restored by selecting parameter FAC in the end of calibration menu.
Service manual Master S 400 and 500 Version 1.1 5.9.2014 4.4. Final testing After the machine repair and low voltage tests, it is good practice to carry out some load tests and finish with some test welds. Only then is it possible to guarantee the machine is working correctly.
Service manual Master S 400 and 500 Version 1.1 5.9.2014 4.4.2. Test welding Test welding is important for having final and reliable information, if the maintenance / repair has been made successfully. In some cases a load bank test alone does not give the absolute truth if the machine is functioning properly or not.
