RECOMMENDED

COURSE OF ACTION

General degradation of the weld per-

1.Check for feeding problems, bad

 

formance

 

connections, excessive loops in

 

 

 

cabling, etc.

 

 

2.

Verify weld mode is correct for

 

 

 

processes.

 

 

3. The power source may require

 

 

 

calibration.

 

 

4.

Check the actual current dis-

 

 

 

played on the Power Feed 10 vs.

 

 

 

actual current measured via exter-

 

 

 

nal meter.

 

 

5.

Check the actual voltage dis-

 

 

 

played on the Power Feed 10 vs.

 

 

 

actual voltage measured via exter-

 

 

 

nal meter.

 

 

6.

Check the actual WFS displayed

 

 

 

on the Power Feed 10 vs. actual

 

 

 

WFS measured via external

 

 

 

meter.

 

 

 

 

Excessively long and erratic arc.

1. Check for proper configuration

 

 

 

and implementation of voltage

 

 

 

sensing circuits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION

If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the tests/repairs safely, contact your Local Lincoln Authorized Field Service Facility for technical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed.
