OVERVIEW

Restore Your ESAB Welder with Genuine OEM Parts

The ESAB 0487201998 PCB Config 6502C HWID9 VRD is a critical replacement component designed to maintain the operational integrity and safety of your ESAB welding equipment. When your industrial power source requires a control board replacement or a configuration update, using genuine OEM parts is essential to ensure compatibility and performance. This specific Printed Circuit Board (PCB) acts as a configuration key, setting the machine's hardware identity to HWID9 and enabling vital features that may be required for your specific welding application.

One of the primary functions of this configuration board is the activation of the Voltage Reduction Device (VRD). In many industrial sectors, particularly mining and heavy construction, VRD is a mandatory safety requirement. It reduces the open-circuit voltage (OCV) when the welding machine is on but not currently welding, significantly lowering the risk of electric shock to the operator. By installing the correct configuration PCB, you ensure that your equipment remains compliant with these rigorous safety standards.

At Josef Gas, we understand that downtime costs money. That is why we supply authentic ESAB repair parts like the 0487201998 to help you get your equipment back online quickly. This board is pre-configured for the 6502C specification, eliminating the guesswork often associated with universal control boards. Whether you are repairing a faulty unit or upgrading a machine to meet site safety specs, this ESAB PCB provides the reliability and quality you expect from a world leader in welding technology.

Key Benefits:

  • Safety Compliance: Enables VRD to meet strict job site safety regulations.
  • Perfect Fit: Genuine ESAB part ensures seamless integration with compatible power sources.
  • Reliability: Manufactured to ESAB's high standards for durability in industrial environments.

FAQ

It is a configuration board that sets the hardware ID to HWID9 and enables Voltage Reduction Device (VRD) functionality on compatible ESAB welding machines.

VRD stands for Voltage Reduction Device. It lowers the open-circuit voltage when not welding to prevent electric shock, which is often required on strict job sites.

Yes, this is a genuine OEM ESAB replacement part, ensuring full compatibility and reliability.

Installation involves internal machine components and should be performed by a qualified welding equipment technician to ensure safety and proper calibration.

You should check your machine's parts manual or service documentation for the part number 0487201998. It is specific to certain ESAB models.

Typically, OEM service parts like this are intended for service technicians and may not include a consumer manual. Refer to the machine's service manual.

HWID9 stands for Hardware ID 9. It is a specific system identifier that tells the main processor how the machine is configured physically.

If the error is caused by a faulty configuration board, yes. However, diagnostics should be run to rule out other causes like sensor failures.
