1. STATUS LED
The status LED indicates system status. Normal oper-
ation is a steady green light.
Note: During normal power-up, the LED may flash red
and/or green as the equipment performs self tests.
LED condition Definition
Steady green System okay. The power source and
wire feeder are communicating nor-
mally.
Blinking green Occurs during a reset and indicates
the power source is identifying each
component in the system. This is nor-
mal for the first 10 seconds after
power-up, or if the system configura-
tion is changed during operation.
Alternating Non-recoverable system fault. If the
green and red power source or wire feeder status
LED is flashing any combination of red
and green, errors are present in the
system. Read the error code before
the machine is turned off.
Instructions for reading the error code
are 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 separated by a green
light.
To clear the error, turn the power
source OFF, and then back ON to
reset. See troubleshooting section.
Steady red Non recoverable hardware fault.
Generally indicates a problem with the
cables connecting the wire feeder to
the power source.
Blinking red Not applicable.
2. DIGITAL METERS AND OUTPUT
ENCODER KNOBS
(See Figure B.2)
The primary weld procedure settings are controlled
and displayed using digital meters and output encoder
knobs located at the top of the Power Feed 10M Single
Wire Feeder control panel.
FIGURE B.2
A. WIRE FEED SPEED/AMMETER DISPLAY AND
OUTPUT KNOB
This meter displays either the wire feed speed or cur-
rent value (Amps) depending upon welding process
(Mode) being used and the status of the wire feeder
and power source. Written below the display is "WFS"
and "Amps".
An LED light illuminates which value is
being displayed on the meter. The knob below the
meter adjusts the value displayed on the meters.
Prior to Welding Description
CV Welding Processes Meter displays the preset
WFS value.
CC Welding Processes Meter displays the preset
Amps.
During Welding
An Weld Processes Meter displays displays
the
actual average welding
Amps.
After Welding
An Weld Processes The meter holds the actual
current value for 5 sec-
onds. The display blinks to
indicate the Power Feed
10M Single Wire Feeder is
in the "Hold" period. If the
output is adjusted while in
the "Hold" period, the
Power Feed 10M Single
Wire Feeder will revert to
the "Prior to welding" dis-
play described above.
Note: If the output knob for the WFS/AMPS is adjust-
ed while the Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder is in
the “Hold” period, the Power Feed 10M Single Wire
Feeder will immediately revert to the “Prior to Welding”
display
.
The default wire feed speed units are inches/minute and
can be changed to meters/minute by entering the "Set-up
Menu" in this Operation Section. The wire feed speed is
calibrated to within ±2%. Refer to the power source man-
ual for calibration specifications of the ammeter.
