Basic Troubleshooting Guide

WARNING
There are extremely dangerous voltage and power levels present inside this unit. Do not

ment and troubleshooting techniques.
5-4
, and number in the digital display.
Ambient temperature too high, duty cycle exceeded, fan failure or other internal
Input voltage outside the range of the unit or internal fault resulting in low bus
voltage.
1phase / 3phase jumpers J300 on Bias PCB set wrong.
Parts in Place fault. Shield cup not in place or tight.
Parts in Contact fault. Missing or worn tip/start cartridge or electrode.
Inlet pressure exceeds rating causing continuous gas flow.
Fan failed or disconnected.
Work Lead current less than output current setting. Shorted pilot switch or defec
tive current sensor possible.
Tip to electrode voltage too low. Consumables fail to separate when gas flows,
start cartridge stuck, failed power supply, no output or shorted torch body.
Torch trigger (start signal) active at start up.
