CAUTION: INCORRECT INPUT POWER can damage this welding power source. This welding pow-
er source requires a CONTINUOUS supply of 60 Hz (+10%) power at +10% of rated input voltage. Do
not use a generator with automatic idle device (that idles engine when no load is sensed) to supply
input power to this welding power source.
NOTE
Actual input voltage should not exceed 10% of indicated required input voltage. If
actual input voltage is outside of this range, output may not be available.

Y Discharge input capacitors according to Section 8-3 and be sure voltage is near zero before touching any parts.
Y Before troubleshooting or applying power to unit, complete following checks to avoid causing further damage.
Y Although control board PC1 and hall device HD1 are briefly checked in this procedure, more complete tests may be needed later for
these parts. This check is simply to get a basic okay to power up unit.
NOTE
The pre-power checklist should be followed if any of the following conditions exist:
the unit is completely inoperative;
the symptoms are unknown;
visual damage is found on any of the following components: capacitors C3 and C4,
control board PC1, IGBT power modules PM1 and PM2, interconnecting board
PC2, or input rectifier SR1;
there is no output or limited output.

SECTION 7 TROUBLESHOOTING
7-1. Troubleshooting Table
. See Section 7-4 and Section 7-6 for test points and
values and Section 10 for parts location.
Trouble
No weld output; unit completely
inoperative.
Remedy
Follow pre-power checklist (see Section 6).
Place line disconnect switch in On position (see Section 3-6).
Check and replace line fuse(s), if necessary, or reset circuit breaker (see Section 3-6).
Check for proper input power connections (see Section 3-6).
Check continuity of Power switch S1, and replace if necessary.
Check control transformer T2 for signs of winding failure. Check continuity across windings, and
check for proper connections. Check secondary voltages. Replace T2 if necessary.
Check position of Voltage/Amperage Control switch S2 (see Section 4-1) or Amperage Control switch
S2 (see Section 4-4).
Check resistance and connections of hall device HD1. Check input and output voltages. Replace
HD1 if necessary.
Check control board PC1 and connections, and replace if necessary (see Section 7-9).
Check display board PC3 and connections, and replace if necessary (see Section 7-11).
Check resistance and connections of hall device HD1. Check input and output voltages. Replace
HD1 if necessary.

If using remote amperage/voltage control, check position of Amperage/Voltage control R2.
Check hall device HD1. Disconnect HD1 from circuit; if proper open circuit voltage appears, replace
HD1.
Check control board PC1 and connections, and replace if necessary (see Section 7-9).
Check display board PC3 and connections, and replace if necessary (see Section 7-11).
Use proper size and type of weld cable (see Section 3-2).
Clean and tighten all weld connections.
Check for proper input and output connections.
Replace electrode.
Check resistance and connections of remote amperage control potentiometer, and replace if
necessary.
Check resistance and connections of hall device HD1. Check input and output voltages. Replace
HD1 if necessary.
Check control board PC1 and connections, and replace if necessary (see Section 7-9).
Fan motor does not run after approximately four minutes of operation at
rated load.
