Poor welding, weld settings drift, or
output power is low.
Check welding procedures and weld
cable connections.
Check with machine on local con-
trol.
Check input voltages and input volt-
age reconnect procedures. See
Installation section of this manual.
1.
Check Mode Switch S2 for dam-
age and continuity.
2.
Check for continuity between
Mode Switch S2 and Control
Board. See Wiring Diagram in
Section G.
3.
Check for loose or faulty con-
nections in heavy current-carry-
ing leads (i.e., choke, shunt,
output bridge, and output
studs). See wiring diagram in
Section G.
4.
See Overcurrent Protection
Current Trigger Circuit tests.
5. See Control Board test
Welding “too hot”. Actual weld cur-
rent is considerably higher than dis-
play indicates.
Check condition of the shunt and
leads to the Control Board.
See Step 7 of the Overcurrent
Protection Current Trigger test
If shunt and leads check OK, possi-
ble defective Control Board
