Fan runs only high speed prior to pressing the torch trigger:
J608-3, speed control wire, is typically 6-7V in high speed and pulled to near zero by the Inverter board for
low speed.
a. Measure J608-3(+) to J608-2 (or work lead), if near zero volts replace the fan. If higher, greater than 1V
(typically 6-7V), replace the Inverter board. If it is 24V it could be both Inverter and fan are bad.
Fan won't run high speed:
Momentarily press the torch trigger (Start), fan should switch to high speed. J608-3 is typically 6-7V in high
speed.
a. Measure J608-3(+) to J608-2 (or work lead), if near zero volts replace Inverter board. If higher, greater
than 1V (typically 6-7V), replace the fan. If it is 24V could be both Inverter and fan are bad.
5. Gas Purge
At the end of the startup time, as the display is showing the amperage setting, gas should flow from the torch
for one to two seconds. This is a test to confirm gas is connected to the unit and the solenoid works.
The basic unit has an internal proportional solenoid, SOL1, which controls the gas flow/pressure. A-Series Au-
tomation units also control an on/off solenoid on the torch. It is activated the same time as SOL1. Whether or
not it is an automation unit, an LED, TORCH SOLENOID ON (D644), on the Inverter board illuminates when
the SOL1 should be on.
