USING ThE STATUS LED TO TROUBLEShOOT
SySTEM PROBLEMS
The AutoDrive™ 19 Tandem is equipped with a Status Light. If a prob-
lem occurs it is important to note the condition of the status lights.
Therefore, prior to cycling power to the system, check the power
source status light for error sequences as noted below.
Included in this section is information about the power source and
Wire Drive Module Status LED's, and some basic troubleshooting
charts for both machine and weld performance.
The STATUS LIGHTS are dual-color LED's that indicate system
errors. Normal operation for each is steady green. Error conditions are
indicated in the following table E.1.

If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the tests/repairs safely, contact your
Local Lincoln Authorized Field Service Facility for technical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed.
TROUBLEShOOTING
TABLE E.1
System OK. Power source is operational, and is communicating normally with all healthy
peripheral equipment connected to its ArcLink network.
Occurs during power up or a system reset, and indicates the POWER WAVE
is mapping (identifying) each component in the system. Normal for first 1-60
seconds after power is turned on, or if the system configuration is changed
during operation.
Under normal conditions indicates Auto-mapping has failed.
Also used by the Weld Manager Utility (included on the POWER WAVE
Submerged Arc Utilities and Service Navigator CD's or available at www.pow-
erwavesoftware.com to identify the selected machine when connecting to a
specific IP address.
Non-recoverable system fault. If the Status lights are flashing any combination
of red and green, errors are present. Read the error code(s) before the
machine is turned off.
Error Code interpretation through the Status light is detailed in the Service
Manual. Individual code digits are flashed in red with a long pause between
digits. If more than one code is present, the codes will be separated by a
green light. Only active error conditions are accessible through the Status
Light.
Error codes can also be retrieved with the Weld Manager Utility (included on
®
the POWER WAVE Submerged Arc Utilities and Service Navigator CD's or
available at www.powerwavesoftware.com. This is the preferred method,
since it can access historical information contained in the error log.
To clear the active error(s), turn power source off, and back on to reset.
