COURSE OF ACTION
OUTPUT PROBLEMS
The output terminals are always
electrically “hot.”
1. Remove any external leads that
may be connected to the 14 pin
amphenol or the terminal strip.
If the problem disappears, the
fault is in the control cable or
wire feeder.
1. Check for an internal short
between leads #2 and #4. See
the Wiring Diagram.
2. Remove plug J3 (SCR gate
leads) from the control board. If
the problem disappears, the
control board may be faulty.
Replace. If the output terminals
are still electrically “hot,” perform
the
SCR/Diode Rectifier
Bridge Test.
3. The snubber board may be
faulty. Check or replace.
