| ERROR CODES FOR THE POWER WAVE |
|
The following is a list of possible error codes that the POWER WAVE 355M/405M can output via the status light If connected to a
Individual code digits are flashed in RED with a long pause between digits. Complete codes are seprated by one GREEN light. There may be more than one error code indicated
Example: Error code 31 - Red, red, red pause, red, green.
Error codes 32 & 34 - Red, red, red, pause Red,red, Green, Red,red,red, pause Red,red,red,red, Green. Sequence will repeat continuously.
STATUS LED ERROR CODE TABLE
11 | CAN communication bus off. |
| Probably due to excessive number of communication errors. |
|
|
|
|
12 | User interface time out error. |
| UI is no longer responding to the Power Source. The most |
|
|
| likely cause is a fault/bad connection in the communication |
|
|
| leads or control cable. |
|
|
|
|
21 | Unprogrammed weld mode. |
| Contact the service department for instructions on reloading |
|
|
| the Welding Software. |
|
|
|
|
22 | Empty weld table. |
| Contact the service department for instructions on reloading |
|
|
| the Welding Software. |
|
|
|
|
23 | Weld table checksum error. |
| Contact the service department for instructions on reloading |
|
|
| the Welding Software. |
|
|
|
|
31 | Primary overcurrent error. |
| Excessive Primary current present. May be related to a |
|
|
| short in the main transformer or output rectifier. |
|
|
|
|
32 | Capacitor “A” under voltage. |
| Low voltage on the main capacitors. May be caused by |
|
|
| improper input configuration. |
|
|
|
|
33 | Capacitor “B” under voltage. |
| When accompanied by an overvoltage error on the same |
|
|
| side, it indicates no capacitor voltage present on that side, |
|
|
| and is usually the result of an open or short in the primary |
|
|
| side of the machine. |
|
|
|
|
34 | Capacitor “A” overvoltage. |
| Excessive voltage on the main capacitors. May be caused |
|
|
| by improper input configuration. |
|
|
|
|
35 | Capacitor “B” overvoltage. |
| When accompanied by an under voltage error on the same |
|
|
| side, it indicates no capacitor voltage present on that side, |
|
|
| and is usually the result of an open or short in the primary |
|
|
| side of the machine. |
|
|
|
|
36 | Thermal error. |
| Indicates over temperature. Usually accompanied by ther- |
|
|
| mal LED. Check fan operation. Be sure process does not |
|
|
| exceed duty cycle limit of the machine. |
37 | Softstart error. |
| Capacitor precharge failed. Usually accompanied by codes |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
41 | Secondary overcurrent error |
| The secondary (weld) current limit has been exceeded. |
|
|
| When this occurs the machine output will phase back to |
|
|
| 100 amps, typically resulting in a condition referred to as |
|
|
| “noodle welding” |
|
|
| NOTE: The secondary limit is 570 for the standard stud, and |
|
|
| 325 amps for all single phase operation. |
