The Genesis 1100, 1500 and 1500 TLH series automatically compensates for the variations in power supply voltage, which means that variations of ±15% with respect to the rated power supply voltage produce negligible variations in the welding current.

6.2) Genesis 1500 TLH diagnostic indications Fig. 10 “GENESIS 1500 TLH” The microprocessor on the mainboard controls the status of the equipment and communicates it to the operator via the leds and the display on the panel. Power supply led (GREEN) Indicates the machine on status.
7) SET-UP PARAMETERS [ONLY FOR G1500 TLH] The settings of the G1500 TLH front panel are incremented by those present inside the set-up, which is accessed as follows (see also figure 10 in sec. 6.2): - Switch the equipment on. - The machine performs an autotest, during which only the green power supply led remains on, the display shows "150"...

8.1.2.3) Instructions for replacement of the secondary diode (fig. 14) To replace secondary power rectifier in G1100, order “Replacement kit” code 73.12.003. For G 1500-G 1500 TLH order “Replacement kit” code 73.12.004. Notes: “replacement kit” contains a diode module and a thermal interface 73.12.003 and 73.12.004 replacement kits contain substantially different diode modules! thermal grease can be ordered in single 80gr.

8.1.3) Panel 15.14.335 and current calibration in the G1100 (Fig. 15) The panel provides the interface between the operator and the machine. It is a simple passive board, without logic circuitry. The potentiometer P3 allows you to vary the current set. For the meaning of the two leds, refer to the previous section 6.1.

8.1.5) Output filter board 15.14.306 [in common with Genesis 1500 / 1500 TLH] (Fig. 17) This board performs a filtering action for EMC purposes on the secondary (as the input board does on the primary - see section 8.1.1) and also filters control of the torch button from any interferences due to the HF in the model Genesis 1500 TLH. Due to the possible interferences generated by the HF stage, in particular in the model Genesis 1500 TLH, it is important to ensure earth connection of the wire from PZ1!

CAUTION: the following procedure applies only to the power sources with "u09" software version (to identify the software version, see previous sec. 7). For power sources with the previous version, calibration can be performed only by Selco Service! Although the spare parts are accurately calibrated during manufacturing, if the mainboard or shunt are replaced, it may be neces- sary to re-calibrate the current delivered by the power source.
