The machine does not have max- imum weld output.

1.Check all three-phase input lines at the DC-1000. Make sure input voltages match machine rating and reconnect panel.

2.Put output control switch (SW3) in “OUTPUT CON- TROL AT DC-1000” position. If problem is solved, then check remote control unit or wire feeder.

1.Check the output control potentiometer (R1) and asso- ciated circuitry for loose or faulty connections. See wiring diagram.

2.Perform Control Board Test.

3.Perform Firing Board test.

4.Perform Main Transformer Test.

5.Perform SCR Output Bridge Test.
