-
manufacturer's consent.
Components that are not in perfect condition must be replaced immediately.
-
When ordering, please give the exact designation and part number as shown
-
in the spare parts list, as well as the serial number of your device.
The housing screws provide the ground conductor connection for earthing the
housing parts.
Only use original housing screws in the correct number and tightened to the specified torque.
The manufacturer recommends that a safety inspection of the device be performed at least every 12 months.
A safety inspection by a certified electrician is recommended:

Operating principle
As soon as the cleaning device is connected to the grid, the 28 (page 28)
a)
lights up. The capacitors, which store the energy for the cleaning process, are
discharged and no outputs are actuated.
NOTE!
In order for the capacitors' charging process to begin, the following prerequisites must be met:
Base unit connected to the grid
▶
Base unit connected to the robot control
▶
Interconnecting hosepack of cleaning unit connected to the base unit
▶
The 'Quick Stop' signal must be set
▶
Before the capacitors are charged, the device temperature is checked. If it is
b)
within tolerance, the capacitors will be charged for the cleaning process.
If the operating temperature is exceeded, the overtemperature 28 (page
28) will light up. In this case, the charging process of the capacitors will
only take place after cooling down to the permissible operating temperature.
After 20 seconds of charging time, the 'Ready' signal will be output to the ro-
c)
bot control - the 29 indicator (page 29) on the device will flash. As soon as
the capacitors are fully charged, the indicator will light up permanently. Although after 20 seconds the maximum magnetic flux density is not yet available to the device, the cleaning process (discharge process) can be initiated
by means of the 'Cleaning Start' signal. For setup purposes, the cleaning process can be triggered manually by means of 29 (page 29) on the device.
After 50 seconds of charging time, the maximum magnetic flux density is
available for the cleaning process.
For the exact ratio of charging times to available magnetic flux density,
please see the diagram below.

with a check of the device temperature. If a cleaning process has finished incorrectly, the 'Error' signal will be output. The cleaning device once again initiates the charging process of the capacitors. If the cleaning readiness is
'Ready', another cleaning process can be carried out.
NOTE!
If the robot control deactivates the 'Quick Stop' signal during the program sequence, the cleaning device program sequence will be aborted immediately.
For safety reasons, the capacitors are discharged via the cleaning coil.

Safety
SafetyPlease follow the safety rules below during all the tasks described in the "Install-
ation and commissioning" chapter.
WARNING!
Danger from incorrect operation and work that is not carried out properly.
This can result in serious personal injury and damage to property.
All the work and functions described in this document must only be carried
▶
out by a trained Fronius service technician.
Read and understand this document in full.
▶
Read and understand all safety rules and user documentation for this equip-
▶
ment and all system components.
WARNING!
Danger due to machines starting automatically.
This can result in serious personal injury and damage to property.
In addition to these Operating Instructions, observe the safety rules of the
▶
robot manufacturer and welding system manufacturer.
Ensure that all protective measures have been taken in the robot's operating
▶
area and remain in effect while you are in this area.
EN-US
WARNING!
Danger from electric shock and mechanically moving parts.
This can result in serious personal injury and damage to property.
Before working on the cleaning device or the associated system components,
▶
disconnect the customer's compressed air and voltage supply from the
cleaning device and the associated system components.
Make sure that the customer's compressed air and power supply remain dis-
▶
connected from the cleaning device and the associated system components
until all work has been completed.
WARNING!
If the cleaning device is being supplied with voltage and/or compressed air,
there is a risk of serious injury due to:
the magnetic field of the cleaning opening,
flying parts (chips, etc.),
compressed air/parting agent mixture escaping from the cleaning opening,
activated wire cutter.
This can result in serious personal injury and damage to property.
If work is required on the cleaning device while the cleaning device is being supplied with voltage and/or compressed air, take the following safety measures:
Keep all ferromagnetic parts away from the device (e.g., tools).
▶
Keep your body, especially hands, face, and hair, as well as objects and all
▶
items of clothing, away from the cleaning aperture and the wire cutter.
Wear hearing protection.
▶
Wear protective goggles with side protection.
