Meter turns on but input contator
does not pull in.
Machine has no output:
Thermal light comes on.
No output:
1. Check cable connections from (+)
Input and Work to power source
for loose or faulty connection.
2. Input voltage may be too low.
Measure input voltage to
machine, should be 50 – 113
VDC.
3. The power switch may be faulty.
4. The DC Buss Power Supply PCB
or its connections may be faulty.
5. The Analog Control Power Supply
PCB may be faulty.
6. The Weld Control PCB may be
faulty.
1. Check input voltage, should be
less than 113 VDC.
2. Remote receptacle output switch-
ing enabled. Check if jumper is
open on plug P21. (Refer to wiring
diagram).
3. The contactor or supply voltage to
contactor coil may be faulty.
4. The connections at PCB connec-
tors inside the control box may be
faulty.
5. The Peripheral PCB may be
faulty.
6. The Weld Control PCB may be
faulty.
1. Thermal shut down. Wait until
