SC2400 Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Fix
Unit stops welding,
OverTemp LED is on. Over heating. 1. If the fan is running, allow unit to cool.
2. Slow down welding rate (fewer studs per minute).
3. Any fault in the OverTemp Thermostat Circuit will shut
the system down.
Weld output erratic or weak. Adjustments or set‐
tings. 1. Check welding hand tool set up, lift, plunge, and acces‐
sory adjustments.
2. Check ALL weld current carry leads and connections, in‐
cluding grounds.
3. Test the power loop by making welds on a test piece us‐
ing only the starter cable set.
4. Test 3 phase power to control contactor.
5. Check taps (if applicable) on main transformer.
Weld gun lifts, but does not
plunge. Gun maintenance. If this happens, it is most likely binding inside of the gun. Per‐
form routine gun maintenance or replace gun if needed.
All tests should be performed by a qualified person.
Always turn off power to the welder before working on or testing components within the welder.
