Fault Indicator - ESAB CUTMASTER 40 Operating Manual

5.04

Fault Indicator

At initial power up, the system goes through a series of self checks before it is ready for use. If during
those checks it detects something is not within proper operating parameters, a fault will occur. If that
happens, an Error Code will illuminate on the digital display. Depending on the type of error it may be
accompanied by one of the indicator lights to the right of the digital display to turn ON or in the case
of a low or high line voltage detection the AC indicator will turn OFF.
The Cutmaster 40 has two types of Fault Codes. One is the Communication Fault. This type of code is
to help you determine what you can do to get the system up and running by correcting a problem like
forgetting to put the consumables in the torch. These will show letters on the digital display.
The other type of Fault Code is the Error Fault for issues with the Power Supply or incoming power
and will show "E0" and a number on the digital display and possibly a fault light such as the AC light
being turned OFF.

Description
Overtemp Error will activate if an Over Temperature status has been
detected on the heatsink or transformer. "HI" will show on the 7
segment display and the Over Temp LED will be illuminated.
Parts In Place Error is activated if the shield cup is removed.
"PIP" will show on the 7-segment display
Parts In Contact Error is activated when the tip is not in contact with
the electrode during initialization. Most likely to occur if the tip is
missing from the torch. "PIC" will show on the 7-segment display.
SCC Trigger Fault Error is activated if the trigger is pulled during
machine start up or while another fault is clearing. "SCC" will show
on the 7-segment display.
LoP Gas Fault Error is activated if the consumables do not separate
when the gas is turned on. Most likely due to gas line not attached
or pressure is too high closing the valve. The Gas LED on the front
display will be flashing or not be illuminated..
Description
Bus Fault Error is activated if the bus voltage drops below
~360V. Bus voltage will be checked in standby mode only.
"E02" will show on the 7-segment display.
Bias Fault Error is activated if the bias voltage drops below
~13.5V. "E03" will show on the 7-segment display.
Low Line Voltage Error is activated if the Input voltage is too low.
"E06" will show on the 7-segment display and the AC LED indicator
on the front display will not be illuminated.
High Line Voltage Error is activated if the input voltage is too high.
"E07" will show on the 7-segment display and the AC LED indicator
on the front display will not be illuminated.
