Problem And Solution - Genesis 200 MIX AC/DC Owner's Manual

7. PROBLEM AND SOLUTION

In case of malfunction of the device, before sending the welder to the service, check
the list of basic failures and try to resolve them yourself.
Any repairs to the device may only be made after disconnecting the plug from
the mains socket.
SYMPTOMS
The control panel does not
light up, the fan does not
work, no output voltage
The control panel is on,
the fan is not working, no
output voltage.
The control panel is on,
the fan is running,
problems with arc ignition

problems with arc ignition
Unsatisfactory weld quality
during MMA welding, the
electrode is bonded to the
material being welded
Unsatisfactory weld quality
for TIG welding
1. Make sure that the switch is in the ON position
2. Check the protection and voltage in the network
3. Remove the housing and check the connection of all electrical
plugs inside the device
1. Check whether the device has been connected to a higher voltage
network. If so, connect to the 230V grid and turn it on again
2. The power supply voltage is unstable and causes the overvoltage
protection to be activated. Switch the device off for 2-3 minutes and
switch it on again
3. The short-term switching on and off of the switch has triggered the
overvoltage protection. Switch the device off for 2-3 minutes and
switch it on again
4. There was another damage requiring repair by an authorized
service center
Check the TIG torch, replace the consumables if they are worn
1. Check the terminals and the correct electrical conductivity of the
electrode and ground wires
2. Check the connection of the TIG torch to the device, make sure
that the pins in the socket are not broken or jammed.
3. Unscrew the handle of the TIG torch and check that the switch in
the holder is working
1. Check the polarity of the welding cable connections
2. Check that the electrode is not wet. Replace the electrode.
3. The welder is powered from a generator set or a long extension
with too small a cable cross section. Connect the device directly to
the mains
1. Replace consumable parts. Change the tungsten electrode or gas
cylinder with higher quality materials
2. Check that shielding gas flows with the appropriate intensity
3. Check the gas supply hose, improve the hose and couplings
connection and the condition of quick couplers
4. Check reducer.
