tion at the back of the machine.

 

 

 

 

 

2.

Turn the output knob to the purge zone and set the regulator to

 

 

 

 

 

the correct pressure. The pressure may increase when air stops

 

 

 

 

 

flowing but this is normal. Do not reset the pressure while the air

 

 

 

 

 

is OFF.

 

 

 

 

 

3.

Possible faulty Pressure Switch.

 

 

 

 

 

4.

Possible faulty Inverter board.

The Thermal LED is lit.

 

1.

The machine's thermostat has tripped due to exceeded duty

 

 

 

 

 

cycle limits. Do NOT turn the power off. Allow the machine to

 

 

 

 

 

cool for 15 - 30 minutes and the thermostat will reset itself.

 

 

 

 

 

2.

The machine's air louvers or fans are obstructed such that air

 

 

 

 

 

cannot flow to properly cool the machine. Remove any foreign

 

 

 

 

 

material that may block air flow. Blow the machine out with a

 

 

 

 

 

clean, dry air stream.

 

 

 

 

 

3.

The input voltage is not within ±10% of rated values.

 

 

 

 

 

4.

Possible faulty Inverter board.

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the trigger is pulled the Red and

1.

Check that nozzle and swirl ring are properly installed and they

 

Yellow LED’s are blinking together and the

 

are the correct parts. Note: Swirl ring can only go in one way.

 

Green light is on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

Input voltage is too low and /or air pressure is set too high.

 

 

 

 

 

Lower air pressure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the trigger is pulled the Red LED is lit,

1.

Check that swirl ring is properly installed.

 

 

air flows and no pilot arc occurs.

 

 

Note: Swirl ring can only go in one way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Red and Yellow LED’s are blinking

condition should correctly reset automatically.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the trigger is pulled no air flows, Red

Check that the pressure gauge shows pressure.

 

 

LED is lit, no pilot arc. Then LED goes out.
