COURSE OF ACTION
The knobs do not control the com-
plete range of wire feed speed or
voltage.
An “Er” message is displayed when
the LN-10 is powered up.
A “GLP” message is displayed.
1. Limits may be set for wire feed
speed or voltage. See maxi-
mum and minimum limit set-
ting modes.
2. DIP switch S1 may be incorrect-
ly set for the wire drive or gear
ratio. See Wire Drive Head
Selection.
3. Make sure that the DIP switch
settings match the power
source being used. See

still displayed remove the input
power. While pressing the Timer

input power. The message “Ln”
should be displayed. Leave on
for 5 seconds. Remove the
input power. Note: All the set-

1. The Ground Lead Protector cir-
cuit has activated due to exces-
sive current flow in the wire
feeder frame. This can be
caused be the electrode coming
in contact with the wire feeder
frame or poor connections in the
work cable circuit. The wire
feeder will be disabled. Remedy
the “grounding” problem and
resume normal operations by
releasing the gun trigger and
then closing the gun trigger.
