TROUBLESHOOT SYSTEM PROBLEMS
The Status LED on the power source case front
can help diagnose problems down to the system
component (power source, wire feeder, wire
drive, etc.) level.
If, for any reason, the system does not appear to
be working properly, always check the color of
the Status LED, and refer to the following chart to
help you determine which system component
(power source, wire feeder, wire drive, etc.) may
be faulty. Replace the components identified as
potentially faulty with known good components,
and the system should operate normally.

more than one code is present, the codes will be sepa-
rated by a green light.
To clear the error, turn power source off, and back on
