CASE FRONT CONTROLS
(See Figure B.1)
1.STATUS LED - A two color LED that indicates sys- tem errors. The Power Wave R350 is equipped with two indicators. One is for the inverter power source, while the other indicates the status of the feeder control system. Normal operation is a steady green light. Basic error conditions are indi- cated in the table below. For more information and a detailed listing, see the troubleshooting section of this document or the Service Manual for this machine. (See Troubleshooting Section for operational functions.)
NOTE: The Power Wave R350 status light will flash green, and sometimes red and green, for up to one minute when the machine is first turned on. This is a normal situation as the machine goes through a self test at power up.
2. THERMAL LED - (Thermal overload): A yellow light that comes on when an over temperature situ- ation occurs. Output is disabled and the fan con- tinues to run, until the machine cools down. When cool, the light goes out and output is enabled.
3. Feeder Status LED - Indicates the status of the feeder control system.
4. NEGATIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL.
5. POSITIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL.
6. VOLTAGE SENSE CONNECTOR: Allows for sep-
arate remote electrode and work sense leads.
