TROUBLESHOOT SYSTEM PROBLEMS
The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 is equipped with three
externally mounted status lights, one for the power
source, and each module contained in the power
source. If a problem occurs it is important to note the
condition of the status lights. Therefore, prior to
cycling power to the system, check the power
source status light for error sequences as noted
below.
Included in this section is information about the power
source, Wire Drive Module, and Communication
Module Status LED’s, and some basic troubleshoot-
ing charts for both machine and weld performance.
The STATUS LIGHTS are dual-color LED’s that indi-
cate system errors. Normal operation for each is
steady green. Error conditions are indicated in the fol-
lowing chart.
Steady Green
Blinking Green
Fast Blinking Green
Alternating Green and Red

System OK. Power source is operational, and is com-
municating normally with all healthy peripheral equip-
ment connected to its ArcLink network.
Occurs during power up or a system reset, and indi-
cates the Power Wave AC/DC 1000 is mapping (identi-
fying) each component in the system. Normal for first 1-
10 seconds after power is turned on, or if the system
configuration is changed during operation.
Indicates Auto-mapping has failed
Non-recoverable system fault. If the Status lights are
flashing any combination of red and green, errors are
present. Read the error code(s) before the machine
is turned off.
Error Code interpretation through the Status light is
detailed in the Service Manual. Individual code digits
are flashed in red with a long pause between digits. If
more than one code is present, the codes will be sepa-
rated by a green light. Only active error conditions will
be accessible through the Status Light.
Error codes can also be retrieved with the Diagnostics
Utility (included on the Power Wave Submerged Arc
Utilities and Service Navigator CD’s). This is the pre-
ferred method, since it can access historical informa-
tion contained in the error logs.
To clear the active error(s), turn power source off, and
back on to reset.
