USING THE STATUS LED TO TROUBLESHOOT SYSTEM PROBLEMS

The Power Wave is equipped with a status light if a problem occurs it is important to note the condition of the status light.Therefore, prior to cycling power to the system, check the power source status light for error sequences as noted below.

Included in this section is information about the power source Status LED, and some basic troubleshooting charts for both machine and weld performance.

Troubleshooting the Power Wave Using the Status

LED

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.

Steady Green

System OK. Power source communicating normally

 

with wire feeder and its components.

 

 

Blinking Green

Occurs during a reset, and indicates the Power Wave

 

is mapping (identifying) each component in the system.

 

Normal for first 1-10 seconds after power is turned on,

 

or if the system configuration is changed during opera-

 

tion

 

 

Alternating Green and Red

Non-recoverable system fault. If the PS Status light is

 

flashing any combination of red and green, errors are

 

present in the Power Wave. 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 sepa-

 

rated by a green light.

 

To clear the error, turn power source off, and back on

 

to reset.
