TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE
CAUSE
OUTPUT PROBLEMS
1. Remove all welding cables and
control cables from the DC 600.
Jumper #2 to #4 at the terminal
strip or set OUTPUT TERMI-
NALS switch to ON position. If
the machine does NOT shut off
and normal open circuit voltage
is present at the welder output
terminals the problem is exter-
nal to the DC600. Either the
remote leads #75, #76 or #77
are grounded to the negative
output cable or there is a short
on the welding output terminals.
2. If the machine still shuts off
when all control and welding
cables are removed then the
problem is internal to the DC-
600.
1. Contact your local Lincoln
Authorized Field
Facility.
