Trouble Remedy
High weld output on both sides. Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check field current regulator board PC4.
Erratic weld output on either side. Check and tighten connections inside and outside unit.
Be sure connection to work piece is clean and tight.
Use dry, properly stored electrodes.
Remove excessive coils from weld cables.
Check Process Selector switch(s) connections and contacts.
Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check Welder Selector switch S2.
Low open-circuit voltage on both sides. Check engine speed, and adjust if necessary (see Section 7-5).
Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check field current regulator board PC4.
Low open-circuit voltage on either side. Increase Amperage/Voltage control setting.
Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check main rectifiers SR2 and SR3, synchronization trans-
formers T5 thru T10, and control board PC1 or PC5.
No control of weld output on either
side. Place A/V Control switch in Panel position, or place switch in Remote position and connect remote
control to remote receptacle RC8 or RC9 (see Sections 4-17 and 5-3).
Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check control board PC1 or PC5.

position (see Sections 5-1 and 5-3).
Check connections to Remote 14 receptacle RC8 (see Section 4-17).
Place optional Polarity switches in Reverse position. There is no CV weld output when Polarity switch
is in Straight position.
Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check brushes and slip rings, and field excitation circuit.
Repair or replace wire feeder.
