ERROR CODES FOR THE POWER WAVE
The following is a list of possible error codes that the Power Wave 455M (CE) can output via the status light (see "Troubleshooting the Power Wave / Power Feed System Using the Status LED." If connected to a
|
|
| Error Code # | Indication | |||||
| 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 con- | |||||
|
|
|
| trol 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 | ||||||
|
|
| (Left side facing machine) | input configuration. | |||||
| 33 | Capacitor "B" under voltage | When accompanied by an overvoltage error on the same side, it | ||||||
|
|
| (Right side facing machine) | 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" over voltage | Excess voltage on the main capacitors. May be caused by improp- |
|
|
|
| ||
|
|
| (Left side facing machine) | er input configuration. |
| ||||
| 35 | Capacitor "B" over voltage | When accompanied by an under voltage error on the same side, it | ||||||
| indicates no capacitor voltage present on that side, and is usually | ||||||||
|
|
| (Right side facing machine) | ||||||
|
|
| the result of an open or short in the primary side of the machine. | ||||||
|
|
|
| ||||||
|
|
|
|
|
| ||||
| 36 | Thermal error | Indicates over temperature. Usually accompanied by Thermal LED. | ||||||
| Check fan operation. Be sure process does not exceed duty cycle | ||||||||
|
|
|
| ||||||
|
|
|
| limit of the machine. | |||||
|
|
|
|
| |||||
| 37 | Soft start 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 amps for the standard stud, and | |||||
|
|
|
| 325 amps. | |||||
|
|
|
|
|
| ||||
| 43 | Capacitor delta error | The maximum voltage difference between the main capacitors has | ||||||
| been exceeded. May be accompanied by errors | ||||||||
|
|
|
| ||||||
|
|
|
|
| |||||
| 49 | Single phase error | Indicates machine is running on single phase input power. Usually | ||||||
|
|
|
| caused by the loss of the middle leg (L2). | |||||
|
| Other |
| Error codes that contain three or four digits are defined as fatal |
| ||||
|
|
|
| errors. These codes generally indicate internal errors on the PS | |||||
|
|
|
| Control Board. If cycling the input power on the machine does not | |||||
|
|
|
| clear the error, try reloading the operating system. If this fails, | |||||
|
|
|
| replace the control board. | |||||
