Thermostat func-
tion
- The thermostat is fitted as standard on all cooling unit versions
- The thermostat monitors the coolant temperature
- If the coolant temperature rises to above 70°C (158°F), the "hot | H2O" indication is
automatically displayed and the welding current is interrupted. The cooling unit
remains operational
- The thermostat restores the welding current when the temperature falls to 65°C
(149°F).
Flow sensor
function
- The flow sensor monitors the coolant flow during welding
- If the coolant flow falls below 0.7l/min (0.18 gal./min [US]), the "no | H2O" indication
is automatically displayed, the welding current is interrupted and the cooling unit
switches off
- If the welding system has a Comfort or WeldProcessData (OPC Fronius LocalNet
server) control panel, the coolant flow can be shown on it
• To display the coolant flow value, press the F3 parameter selection / indicator
key on the Comfort control panel
A disruption in the coolant flow can occur as a result of:
- Insufficient coolant
- Contaminated coolant
- Leaks in the cooling circuit
- Faulty coolant pump
- Frozen coolant (welding at too low a temperature)
Validity of "Gen-
eral Delivery and
