USING THE STATUS LED TO TROUBLESHOOT SYSTEM PROBLEMS

The Status LED on the power source case front can help diagnose problems down to the system component (power source, wire feeder, wire drive, etc.) level. If, for any reason, the system does not appear to be working properly, always check the

color of the Status LED, and refer to the following chart to help you determine which system compo- nent (power source, wire feeder, wire drive, etc.) may be faulty. Replace the components identified as potentially faulty with known good compo- nents, and the system should operate normally.

Status LED is solid green (no blinking).

System operating normally.

 

 

 

Status LED is blinking green.

1.

Normal condition for the first few seconds after the

 

 

power is turned on.

 

2.

Wire feeder and/or its components are not prop-

 

 

erly configured and/or connected together. Refer

 

 

to wire feeder instruction manual(s) for wire feeder

 

 

configuration information.

 

 

 

Status LED is solid red (no blinking).

1.

Indicates that nothing is connected to the Wire

 

 

Feeder Receptacle. Connect a Power Feed Wire

 

 

Feeder to the wire feeder receptacle.

 

2.

Power source cannot communicate with the wire

 

 

feeder and/or its components due to a problem

 

 

within the power source. Contact an authorized

 

 

Lincoln Electric Service facility.

 

 

 

Status LED is blinking red and green.

1.

If the Thermal LED is also lit, see “Yellow Thermal

 

 

LED Lit” in the Main Troubleshooting Chart.

 

2.

Input voltage is too high or too low. Make certain

 

 

that input voltage is proper, according to the

 

 

Rating Plate located on the rear of the machine.

 

3.

Power source is having trouble communicating

 

 

with wire feeder or its components. Turn machine

 

 

off. Disconnect control cable from the Wire

 

 

Feeder Receptacle. Turn power back on. If

 

 

Status LED then blinks green, the problem is with

 

 

the wire feeder. If light is still blinking red and

 

 

green, contact an authorized Lincoln Field Service

 

 

facility.
