4.5 Machine error codes
The machine always checks its operation automatically during start-up and reports any
failures detected. If failures are detected during start-up, they are shown as error codes on the
control panel display.
Power source error codes
Err3 Power source overvoltage
The machine has stopped the welding because it has detected momentary voltage spikes or
continuous overvoltage dangerous to the machine in the electric network. Check the quality
of the supply network.
Err4 Power source overheating
The power source has overheated. The cause may be one of the following:
1. The power source has been used for a long time at maximum power.
2. The circulation of cooling air to the power source is blocked.
3. The cooling system has experienced a failure.
Remove any obstacle to air circulation, and wait until the power source fan has cooled down
the machine.
Err5 Water unit alarm
The water circulation is blocked. The cause may be one of the following:
1. Congestion or disconnection in the cooling pipeline.
2. Insufficient cooling liquid.
3. Excessive cooling liquid temperature.
Check the circulation of the cooling liquid and the air circulation of the water unit.
Err23 Power source overvoltage warning
The power source has detected voltage spikes in the electric network. Short power spikes
can be managed. They do not lead to interruptions in welding but may decrease the welding
quality. Check the quality of the supply network.
Err61 The water unit is not found
The water unit is not connected to the equipment, or the connection has failed.
Set the machine to gas cooling (3.3.7) if you are using a gas-cooled welding gun, or connect a
water unit.
Err154 Overloading of the wire feed motor
The welding has been interrupted because the wire feeding engine power has risen to a high
level. The cause may be congestion in the wire line. Check the wire lead, contact tip, and feed
rollers.
Err155 Warning of the wire feed unit overheating
The voltage level of the wire feeding engine has increased. The cause may be a stained wire
lead or a gun cable that is twisted at a sharp angle. Check the state of the gun, and clean the
wire line if this is necessary.
Err201 Use of PMT gun is prevented
The machine is intended for use with MMT guns. When a PMT gun is used, the gun’s jumpers
must be set to ‘FU’. This error code may appear also if the contacts of the gun trigger are
stained or there are problems with the trigger leads. Check the trigger’s leads.
Other error codes:
The machine can show codes not listed here. In the event of an unlisted code appearing,
contact an authorised Kemppi service agent and report the error code shown.
