WHAT TO DO

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. No control of wire feed.

 

 

a. Defective Wire Feed Unit to

 

 

a. Remove Control Box to Wire Feed

 

 

 

 

 

Control box cable or harnessing.

 

 

Unit Cable and Check F to F, G to G

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and H to H for continuity. If any of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

continuity tests fail, replace cable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Otherwise check related harnesses

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

for continuity (Refer to Wiring

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Diagram). If continuity checks O.K.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on harnessing, proceed to b.

 

 

 

 

 

b. Defective wire feed motor tach or

 

 

b. Measure voltage across pin 2 (+) of

 

 

 

 

 

control PC Board.

 

 

J3 and pin 3 (-) of J3 on PC board

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

with motor running. If voltage is 1.5-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.5V then replace control PC board

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(see Procedure for Replacing PC

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Boards). If not, then replace

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tachometer.

 

 

 

 

 

c. Problem with serial

communications in input control

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. No wire feed, solenoid, or arc

 

 

a. Faulty gun or gun trigger switch.

 

 

a. Remove gun. Check continuity

 

 

voltage. LED display indicated

 

 

 

 

 

between trigger pins with trigger

 

 

Synergic 7F has input power.

 

 

 

 

 

closed. If no continuity repair or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

replace gun.

 

 

 

 

 

b. Defective Control Box to Wire

 

 

b. Replace gun. Remove plug from J1

 

 

 

 

 

Feed Unit Cable or harness

 

 

on control board. Check that there is

 

 

 

 

 

wiring & connections.

 

 

continuity between plug pins 2 and 8

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when trigger is closed and no

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

continuity when trigger is open. If the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

continuity tests pass proceed to c. If

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

not, check I to I and J to J in cable. If

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this continuity test fails, replace

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cable. Otherwise check wiring

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

harnesses and proceed to c. if no

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

harness problem is encountered.

 

 

 

 

 

c. Defective control PC board or

 

 

c. Remove gun. Check voltage across

 

 

 

 

 

gun connector.

 

 

trigger sockets on gun connector.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If voltage is > ±11V DC, then gun is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

defective.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If voltage is < ±11V DC, then check

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the voltage across pin 2 (+) and pin 8

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(-) of connector J1 on control PC

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

board.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the voltage is still < ±11V DC, then

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

replace control PC board, otherwise,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

replace gun connector. (See

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Procedure for Replacing PC boards.)
