USING THE STATUS LED TO TROUBLESHOOT SYSTEM PROBLEMS

The Status LED on the power source case front can help diagnose problems down to the system component (power source, wire feeder, wire drive, etc.) level. If, for any reason, the system does not appear to be working properly,

always check the color of the Status LED, and refer to the following chart to help you determine which system component (power source, wire feeder, wire drive, etc.) may be faulty. Replace the components identified as potentially faulty with known good components, and the system should operate normally.

 

Steady Green

System OK. Power source communicating normally

 

 

with wire feeder and its components.

 

 

 

 

Blinking Green

Occurs during a reset, and indicates the Power Wave

 

 

is mapping (identifying) each component in the system.

 

 

Normal for first 1-10 seconds after power is turned on,

 

 

or if the system configuration is changed during opera-

 

 

tion

 

 

 

 

Alternating Green and Red

Non-recoverable system fault. If the PS Status light is

 

 

flashing any combination of red and green, errors are

 

 

present in the Power Wave. Read the error code

 

 

before the machine is turned off.

 

 

Error Code interpretation through the Status light is

 

 

detailed in the Service Manual. Individual code digits

 

 

are flashed in red with a long pause between digits. If

 

 

more than one code is present, the codes will be sepa-

 

 

rated by a green light.

 

 

To clear the error, turn power source off, and back on

 

 

to reset.

 

 

 

 

Steady Red

Not applicable.

 

 

 

 

Blinking Red

Not applicable.
