Is there a Electrical Trouble Shooting guide or Wiring Diagrams available for PP205si?
Examples of Electrical Trouble Shooting guide:
When set to TIG - Circuit Board 3, Connector C, Pin 6 voltage should be 3.5vdc
When set to AC - Circuit Board 1, Connector E, Pin 3 waveform should look like ...
For our trained techs, yes.
Okay, thought I would ask.
Guessing being a Trained Tech in Field of electronics, qualified to work on everything from 1,200 amp power supplies down to repairing circuit boards, and being Computer Engineer won't cut it? :)
Thanks for reply.
Do you want to apply to be an authorized a service center?
Here’s some pictures of the insides of their machines. And soldering the main current wires rather than securing them via a buss bar no wonder they break all the time
This is your first post Raz? And you flame something you obviously know nothing about?
First, you know nothing of how the competition secures wires. It is the same or at least very similar to other products (name brand) of that era.
Second, those pictures are of units over 10 years old.
Third, These units were analog, so you had wires.
Fourth, The soldering yielded no service problems as far as any failures were related. If anything, it was very reliable.
Fifth, the Si is digital, and much different than this older unit.
Sixth, the failure rate is well within industry standards.
Be careful about flaming here. If you can't contribute something, informed, helpful, truthful or otherwise completely honest, then you can politely leave or we will make this your last post. Ok? Consider yourself warned. We don't mind constructive criticism, but we don't tolerate "drive-by" posters.
This confirms it you always try and make excuses lol and btw you’re welders aren't complicated at all, the main current wires are soldered not mechanically connected in any way just curious how long it’ll last. If you know so much why don’t you explain it oh wait you’re in sales you don’t know anything about how stuff should be designed it always has to be cheap cheap cheap. If I make just one person not buy this welder and save them the trouble of paying you shipping there and back when it should be free under warranty then I’m happy to do it so please quit covering you’re ###, ban me if you want I’ll just make a new account. Thanks for the laugh
Consider youself banned. You can crawl back under your rock. If you resign, you will be banned. We can do this for days. First, you have to be approved and we can check ip numbers.
Considering we have units out there that are now over 15 years old running in daily use, you sir are unreliable.
I do not know what kind of solder was used in older machines. Only way I see soldering being a problem is if Low-Temp (aka soft solder) was used. Regular solder and Hi-Temp solder would not be an issue. Soldering makes for a very good electrical connection. In that it is electrically conductive around wire (even through stranded wires), does not suffer from loosening due temperature changes, does not carbonize, and stands up to harsh environment (outdoor usage).
