2.2 Return of Goods
When returning a unit to Gebrüder Martin or a Gebrüder Martin service point, use the original
packaging material (cardboard box) if possible, and add the following information (accompany-
ing documents):
•name and address of owner
•type and serial numbers
•description of the defect(s)
3Warnings & Safety Instructions
The unit incorporates components that are directly connected to the power supply network.
The rear section of the main board and the covered left section of the power manager board
remain energized even after the unit has been turned off. The voltages present in this section
of the circuit are the line voltage and the pre-stabilized direct voltage (which amounts to 390 V
after the unit has been switched on and drops to the peak value of the mains voltage after the
unit has been turned off). This section is specially marked on the main board. Three other vol-
tages can be present as well: the medium-frequency supply voltage for the screen illumination
after the unit has been turned on, the power controller’s output voltage of up to 200 VDC as
soon as the unit is activated, and the HF output voltage of up to 12 kVpp.
Therefore, be sure to disconnect the power cord from the power supply before per-
forming any repairs. This is the only way to de-energize all components inside the
unit!
For certain servicing tasks, it is necessary to operate the ME402 in an open condition because
measurements or settings must be carried out. In such cases, be sure to observe the usual
safety guidelines for preventing electric shocks.
Since the switching power supply unit incorporates capacitors that may remain energized for
some time after the unit has been turned off, an electric shock may be caused if you touch
them. This danger is particularly high in the event of internal faults.

4Service Functions
4.1 Service Menu
The maxium®offers basic setting and service functions. These are grouped in the “Service”
submenu.
MENU
Service menu
Pressing the MENU button on the maxium®and selecting the Setup menu item takes you to
the Setup submenu. Selecting the last item, Service, takes you to the text editor, which is
usually used for entering program names. In this context, the editor is used for restricting
access to the Service functions, as some of them can lead to irreversible actions that are pos-
sibly unintended by normal users. Therefore, you must first enter 2020 and select the “Enter”
button in order to access the Service menu. Selecting “Escape” takes you to the next higher
menu level. Pressing the MENU button a little longer returns you directly to the top or main
level.
4.1.1 Program Handling
The “Program Settings” service menu item allows you to make program-specific basic settings,
as well as to restore factory settings.

saved in modified form. However, if the user wishes to adjust the Standard program to indi-
vidual needs, the Edit function can be used to release the Standard program for modification
and saving the changed parameters temporarily until the unit is turned off. After turning the
unit on again, the Standard program will again be available with the previous restrictions.

This function deletes any user-defined settings and restores the factory presettings. In this
way, it is easily possible to reset units to their original state, e.g. if they have been temporarily
handed over to customers (e.g. on a hiring or testing basis, or for temporary replacement of a
unit returned for repair). Calling up this function irreversibly deletes all user-defined settings
without any warning being displayed!

This function allows locking programs in order to prevent their being saved in modified form. If
the user wishes to prevent any changes in a user-defined program, he/she can use the menu
path Program Settings / Lock Program to have a list of programs displayed (note, however,
that the access code is required for this!). The program of interest can then be selected and
locked by pressing the rotary switch axially. This causes a lock symbol to be displayed next to
the program preview. The lock symbol will also be shown in the normal program selection pre-
view mode, but not in the list of last-used programs (LUPs) displayed on the main level. You
can also use this function to lock several programs one after another, without any need to
change the menu level.
Unlock Programs (from SW2.360)
This function allows you to unlock programs that have previously been locked to prevent their
being saved in modified form. Use Program Settings / Unlock Program to call up the list of pro-
grams, then select the program of your choice and confirm by pressing the rotary switch.

This deletes the lock symbol next to the program parameter preview (as well as in the preview
of the normal program selection mode where it is also indicated – whereas it is not indicated in
the list of last-used programs (LUPs) on the main level). In this way, it is also possible to un-
lock several programs one after another, without any need to change the menu level.
Note that the Standard program cannot be unlocked with this function, as unlocking is only
temporarily possible using the Edit Standard Program function.

The filling level of the argon gas cylinder is displayed on the screen. The parameter used for
deriving the indicated filling level is the gas pressure present at the input of the Beamer. How-
ever, this is not a constant value, as the output pressure of the pressure reducer – which is
identical with the input pressure of the Beamer – varies with the input pressure of the pressure
reducer. Such input pressure, in turn, is identical with the current pressure of the gas cylinder
– which also represents the filling level of the cylinder.
To make sure that the filling level of the cylinder is indicated correctly, the symbol displayed
can be adjusted to reflect actual conditions. Proceed as follows:
•First, open the corner valve on the gas cylinder. The gas pressure reading on the manome-
ter of the pressure reducer must be at least 100 bar for the procedure to be carried out.
Subsequently, close the corner valve again.
•Via the menu path Beamer Parameters / Filling Level Calibration, select the item Measure
100 bar and press the rotary switch. This calls up a numerical display.
•Use the PURGE button on the MB402 to activate a gas flow, thereby observing the mano-
meter on the pressure reducer. Hold the button down until the indicated residual pressure
has dropped to 100 bar with the corner valve closed. Wait until the display has settled to
show a stable value, then press the rotary switch to log the value.
•Select the Measure 30 bar menu item and press the rotary switch.
•Again, use the PURGE button on the MB402 to activate a gas flow, thereby observing the
manometer on the pressure reducer. Hold the button down until the residual pressure indi-
cated has dropped to 30 bar with the corner valve closed. Wait until the display has settled
to show a stable value, then press the rotary button to log the value.
•Select the Ready menu item and press the rotary switch for confirmation.
This terminates the procedure.

If the gas cylinder pressure has already dropped below 100 bar, a standard setting can be se-
lected instead of calibration via the two pressure levels (as described above). This means using
fixed values good enough for sufficiently precise pressure indication. Select Beamer Parame-
ters / Filling Level Calibration from the menu, then select Reset to Standard and press the ro-
tary switch for confirmation.

If the filling level drops below the set minimum value, a warning signal is automatically emit-
ted. The minimum value (or alarm threshold) can be adjusted by selecting Beamer Parameters
and then the Alarm Threshold item and confirming by pressing the rotary switch. Thereafter,
you can adjust the alarm threshold across a range of 30 to 80 bar by turning the rotary switch.
The factory presetting is 30 bar – a level that provides sufficient reserve when using a 10-liter
gas cylinder. When using smaller gas cylinders, the alarm threshold should be set higher.

The “maxium®& maxium®Beamer” system also registers operating troubles and malfunction
incidences and saves this information in error logs. The error log for Argon Beamer operating
troubles can be displayed by selecting Beamer Parameters and Error Log and pressing the ro-
tary switch for confirmation. The values displayed are merely for information and cannot be
adjusted. The log is based on a cyclical (ring-type) memory, which means that the oldest val-
ues are overwritten upon reaching the capacity limit.

From HW02, the maxium®features a clock with calendar function supporting the log functions.
Once the unit has been switched off, this clock is powered by a battery located on the control-
ler board. As the clock is not required for operating the unit as intended, a discharged battery
does not restrict its usability in any way.
The clock is set to Central European daylight saving time (CET) ex factory. There is no auto-
matic changeover from daylight saving time to standard time. The time is also displayed, to-
gether with the battery status, via the Device Status / System Information menu path.
To set the clock via the path Device Settings / Time, select the Set Time menu item. The pa-
rameters “year”, “month”, “day of month”, “hour” and “minute” can then be individually se-
lected and adjusted.
