Initial Control Inspection

Danger: At this point, there should be no electrical connection to the machine. Electrical panel must be closed and secured. When main switch is on, there is HIGH VOLTAGE throughout the electrical panel (including the circuit boards and logic circuits) and some components operate at high temperatures. Therefore, exercise extreme caution when working in the panel.

• Set the main breaker switch at the upper right of the electrical panel on the back of the machine to OFF.
• Using a screwdriver, unlock the two latches on the panel door, unlock the cabinet with the key and open the door.
• Take sufficient time to check all the components and connectors associated with the circuit boards. Look for any cables that have become disconnected, look for any signs damage and loose parts in the bottom of the panel box. If there are any signs that the machine was mishandled, call the factory before proceeding.

1-Phase Machines: Insert each power lead into the wire cover.  Connect the two power leads to L1 and L3 terminals on top of the main circuit breaker.

3-Phase Machines: Insert each power lead into the wire cover.  Connect the three power leads to L1, L2 and L3 terminals on top of the main circuit breaker.

Connect the separate ground line to the ground bus to the left of the terminals.

Refer to Haas Main CIrcuit Breaker - Torque Specifications for what value to torque the circuit breaker power leads.

 Note: Make sure that the leads actually go into the terminal-block clamps . (A poor connection will cause the machine to run intermittently or have other problems, such as servo overloads.) To check, simply pull on the wires after the screws are tightened.

After the line voltage is connected to the machine, make sure that main circuit breaker (at top-right of rear cabinet) is OFF . Remove the Lockout / Tagout and Turn ON the power at the source. Using a digital voltmeter and appropriate safety procedures: 

1-Phase Machines: Measure the AC voltage across L1 & L3 at the main circuit breaker.  The AC voltage must be between 220 - 250 volts .
Note: Lower or higher than this voltage can generate low/high voltage alarms.

3-Phase Machines: Measure the AC voltage between all three pair phases at the main circuit breaker.  The AC voltage must be between 195 and 260 volts (360 and 480 volts for high voltage option).

 Note: Wide voltage fluctuations are common in many industrial areas; minimum and maximum voltage supplied to a machine while it is in operation must be known. U.S. National Electrical Code specifies that machines should operate with a variation of +5% to -5% around an average supply voltage. If problems with line voltage occur, or low line voltage is suspected, an external transformer may be used. If you suspect voltage problems, voltage should be checked every hour or two during a typical day to be sure it does not fluctuate more than +5% or -5% from an average.

Important: With the main circuit breaker turned OFF.

Check the transformer taps at the bottom-right corner of the rear cabinet.

1-Phase Machines: The input voltage cable must be moved to the connector which corresponds to the average voltage measured in the above step.

3-Phase Machines:  The input voltage cables labeled 74, 75, and 76 must be moved to the terminal block triple which corresponds to the average voltage measured in the above step.

Transformer T5 supplies 24VAC used to power the main contactor. There are two versions of this transformer for use on a 240 and 400V machines. The 240V transformer has two input connectors located about two inches from the transformer, which allow it to be connected to either 180-220V or 221-240V. Users that have 220V-240V RMS input power should use the connector labeled 221-240V, while users with 190-220V input power should use the connector labeled 180-220V. Failure to use the correct input connector will result in either overheating of the main contactor or failure to reliably engage the main contactor.

The 480V (option) T5 transformer has three input connectors, labeled 340-380V, 381-440V and 441-480V. Users with 340-380V 50Hz power should use the 340-380V connector while users with 380V-440V 50Hz power should use the 381-440V connector.

Important: Set the main circuit breaker to ON. Check for evidence of problems, such as the smell of overheating components or smoke. If such problems are indicated, immediately set the main circuit breaker to OFF and call the factory before proceeding.

After the power is on, measure the voltage across the bottom terminals on the main circuit breaker. It should be the same as the measurements where the input power connects to the main breaker. If there are any problems, check the wiring.

Apply power to the control by pressing the Power-On switch on the front panel.

Check the DC Voltage and AC Line Voltage gauges in Diagnostics. The DC Voltage gauge must read between 310 - 360V. The AC Line Voltage must be between 90 and 105 percent. If the voltage is outside these limits, turn off the power and recheck steps 2 and 3. If the voltage is still outside these limits, call the factory.
