EXPLANATION OF PROMPTING AND ERROR MESSAGES

Display

Prompt or Error

Acc

Displayed on Voltage display, indicates WFS

 

display is showing acceleration setting, “1" to

 

“5" (See “Acceleration Selection” in this sec-

 

tion).

OFF

Displayed on WFS and voltage displays; indi-

 

cates limits for WFS or voltage are off for the

 

displayed procedure. (See “Maximum and

 

Minimum Limits Setting Modes” in this sec-

 

tion).

SEC

Displayed on WFS display, indicates Voltage

 

display is showing a Timer setting in sec-

 

onds. (See “Display Control Keys” in this

 

section)

GLP

Displayed on WFS display, indicates that the

 

Grounding Lead Protector circuit was activat-

 

ed due to excessive current flow into the

 

wire feeder frame. When the GLP circuit is

 

activated the wire feeder is disabled (the trig-

 

ger output to the power source is opened up,

 

the motor is stopped, and the gas solenoid is

 

turned off). To resume normal operation,

 

release the trigger, make sure that the elec-

 

trode is not touching the wire feeder frame,

 

and then either press a key on the keypad or

 

close the trigger. (See “Grounding Lead

 

Protector” in this section)

Cld

Displayed on Voltage display when Cold

 

Feed Forward or Cold Feed Reverse Key is

 

pressed, or Cold Feed Trigger mode is

 

selected. Indicates wire is fed “cold” (no

 

weld voltage) at the speed indicated on the

 

WFS display. (See “Operation Keys” and

 

“Trigger Mode Selection” in this section).

---Displayed on Voltage or WFS displays with RUN-IN selected, indicates setting will match those set for Weld Voltage and Wire Feed Speed (See “Display Control Keys” in this section).

HXX

Displayed on WFS display, indicates wire feed over-

 

load. XX indicates time remaining in seconds before

 

unit resets automatically. (See “Wire Feed Overload

 

Protection” in this section and “Avoiding Wire

 

Feeding Problems” in the MAINTENANCE section).

Er

EEPROM error. Usually occurs at power-up.

 

Indicates one or more of the recalled settings is out

 

of acceptable limits. Press any key to return to nor-

 

mal operation. Be sure to check all voltage, wire feed

 

speed, acceleration and timer settings before you

 

proceed.
