GENERAL MACHINE TROUBLE

Machine will not turn on.

1.

Input supply not "hot". Check input sup-

 

 

ply line voltage and fuses.

 

2.

Input

switch

(S1) faulty. Check

 

 

and replace.

 

 

 

 

 

No machine output.

1.

Make sure the input Power Switch (S1) is

 

 

in the ONposition.

 

 

2.

A protective thermostat may be open.

 

 

An open thermostat disables machine

 

 

output. Allow machine to cool and ther-

 

 

mostat will close. The yellow thermal

 

 

light (TL1) should be lit in this condition.

 

3.

If the machine is not hot(i.e. you have

 

 

not been welding) and the thermostat

 

 

light is lit, the thermostat wiring or a ther-

 

 

mostat may be faulty. Check for continu-

 

 

ity between leads 313 and 314 at P3 on

 

 

the Control PC Board. If not present,

 

 

test each wire and thermostat individual-

 

 

ly.
