COURSE OF ACTION
WELDING PROBLEMS
The machine does not have weld-
ing output in the Stick mode. Zero
volts open circuit voltage. The
Output LED on the control panel is
blinking. The machine operates
correctly in the TIG mode
1. Make sure the machine is prop-
erly set-up and configured for
Stick mode.
1. Check for output voltage feed-
back from the Output Filter
Board. See the Output Filter
Board Test.
2. Check for output voltage feed-
back through the Bus Board.
See the Bus Board Test.
3. The Control/Display Board may
be faulty.
The machine does not have weld-
ing output in either the Stick or TIG
modes. Zero volts open circuit.
The Output LED on the control
panel is blinking.
1. Make sure the correct input volt-
age is applied to the machine.
230 or 115VAC.
1. The output rectifier may be
faulty. Check and replace if nec-
essary. See the Secondary
Power Board Test and Wiring
Diagram.
2. The Output Clamp Board may be
faulty.
3. The Output Module Transistor
Board may be faulty. See the
Secondary Power Board Test
and Wiring Diagram.
4. Perform the Main IGBT Inverter
Board Welding Logic and
Inverter Test.
5. The Superimposition Board may
be faulty.
6. The Hall Effect device may be
faulty.
7. The Control/Display Board may
be faulty.
The machine operates properly in
the Stick and DC TIG modes. AC
TIG mode does not function prop-
erly.
1. Make sure the machine is set-up
and configured correctly for the
AC TIG mode.
1. The Output Module Transistor
Board may be faulty. See the
Secondary Power Board Test
and Wiring Diagram.
2. The Superimposition Board may
be faulty.
