USING THE STATUS LED TO TROUBLESHOOT SYSTEM PROBLEMS
The POWER WAVE® / Power Feed are best diag- nosed as a system. Each component (power source, user interface, and feed head) has a status light, and when a problem occurs it is important to note the con- dition of each. In addition, errors displayed on the user interface in most cases indicate only that a problem exists in the power source, not what the problem may be. Therefore, prior to cycling power to the sys- tem, check the power source status light for error sequences as noted below. This is especially important if the user interface displays "Err 006" or "Err 100" .
Included in this section is information about the power source Status LED, and some basic troubleshooting
charts for both machine and weld performance.
The STATUS LIGHT is a two color light that indicates system errors. Normal operation is a steady green light. Error conditions are indicated in the following chart.
NOTE: The POWER WAVE® 405M 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.
| LIGHT CONDITION | MEANING |
|
| Status LED is solid green (no blinking). | 1. System OK. Power source communicating normally |
|
|
| with wire feeder and its components. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Status LED is blinking green. | 2. Occurs during a reset, and indicates the POWER |
|
|
| WAVE® 405M is mapping (identifying) each compo- |
|
|
| nent in the system. Normal for first |
|
|
| after power is turned on, or if the system configura- |
|
|
| tion is changed during operation. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Status LED is blinking red and green. | 3. |
|
|
| is flashing any combination of red and green, errors |
|
|
| are present in the POWER WAVE® 405M. 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 |
|
|
| separated by a green light. |
|
|
| To clear the error, turn power source off, and back |
|
|
| on to reset. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Status LED is solid red (no blinking). | Non recoverable hardware fault. Generally indicates |
|
|
| nothing is connected to the POWER WAVE® 405M |
|
|
| wire feeder receptacle. See Trouble Shooting Section. |
