CONTROL BOARD

Control Board LEDs

Control Board LEDs Visible from the Powermax900 Front Panel

LED2 POWER ON: Illuminates when power is applied.

LED5 LINE VOLTAGE: Illuminates different colors for different conditions.

LED5 not illuminated (white)

Extremely low AC line voltage or micro-controller failure.

LED5 blinking yellow

Line voltage is less than 20% below nominal. In this condition, the power supply is
disabled and the contactor is open.

LED5 continuous yellow

Line voltage is between 15% and 20% below nominal. Machine will function, but with
some performance degradation.

LED5 continuous green

Line voltage is within proper operating limits (between -15% and +15% of nominal as
shown above).

LED5 continuous red

Voltage is greater than +15% of nominal, or
Retaining cap has not engaged the cap-sensor micro-switch, or
There is an inverter imbalance, or
There is a micro-controller failure.

LED5 blinking red

There is an internal torch failure (a short from electrode to START or CAP lines).

LED11 OVER-TEMP LED: Remains off when temperature is within operating limits. It
Illuminates when the thermostat in the power transformer T2 opens (over 135

° C (275° F)) or if

the heatsink becomes too hot (over 85

° C (185° F)). Overheating can be caused by exceeding

the duty cycle rate or by operating at low line voltage.

LED14 GAS PRESSURE: Illuminates when incoming gas pressure sensed by PS1 is within
operating limits (over 39 psi (2.7 bar)).

Control Board LEDs Visible from Inside the Powermax900

LED1 GAS SOLENOID: Illuminates when gas solenoid is energized (when GAS TEST switch
is pressed or when plasma start is pressed).

LED3 PILOT ARC RELAY: Illuminates when pilot arc relay CR2 is energized.

LED4 MAIN CONTACTOR: Illuminates when contactor CR1 is energized (following "soft
start").

Note: To avoid performance
deterioration of the
Powermax900, input voltage
(as measured at the input
terminals to the power supply
under load) should be within
10% of the specified system
line voltage setting.
