USING THE STATUS LED TO TROUBLESHOOT SYSTEM PROBLEMS
The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 is equipped with three externally mounted status lights, one for the power source, and each module contained in the power source. If a problem occurs it is important to note the condition of the status lights. 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, Wire Drive Module, and Communication Module Status LED’s, and some basic troubleshoot- ing charts for both machine and weld performance.

|
| 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. Only active error conditions will | |
|
| be accessible through the Status Light. | |
|
| Error codes can also be retrieved with the Diagnostics | |
|
| Utility (included on the Power Wave Submerged Arc | |
|
| Utilities and Service Navigator CD’s). This is the pre- | |
|
| ferred method, since it can access historical informa- | |
|
| tion contained in the error logs. | |
|
| To clear the active error(s), turn power source off, and | |
|
| back on to reset. |
