TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE AREAS OF
MISADJUSTMENTS
1. Power source must be on and
open circuit voltage (OCV)
present at weld terminals.
2. LN-35 work clamp may not be
connected.
3. LN-35 polarity switch must match
electrode polarity.
4. Jumper plug on control or option
board may be loose or missing.
5. The power source O.C.V. must
be above 15 VDC. But not more
than 110 VDC.
6. The gun trigger may be faulty.-
Replace gun.
1. The
drive
motor
overloaded. Check the wire
feeding system. EX. Drive roll
tension, reel brake and gun
cable liner.
1. If the power source is a constant
current type supply the arc
voltage may be "dipping" below
15 VDC causing the LN-35 to
stop or hesitate.
2. Connect a constant voltage type
power supply to the LN-35.
3. Make sure wire-feed mode
switch (S3) is in the proper
position.
1. Gun cable kinked and/or twisted.
2. Wire jammed in gun and cable.
3. Incorrect size or installation
of drive roll and guide tubes.
4. Drive roll loose.
