Weak High Frequency.

1. Spark gap is too close. Reset

 

gap per Periodic Maintenance

 

Section instructions.

 

2. Work and electrode cables in

 

poor condition, allowing high fre-

 

quency to "leak" to ground. Use

 

good quality cables, preferably

 

those with a high natural rubber

 

content, and as short as possi-

 

ble.

 

3. No shielding gas. Adjust gas

 

flow for a flow of 10 to 30 CFH

 

(4.7 to 14.1 1/min) for most appli-

 

cations. (High frequency will not

 

jump from the tungsten to work

 

without shielding gas).

grounded properly, according to

 

the installation instructions? Are

 

there other machines in the area

 

which may be strong sources of

 

high frequency? Make sure that

 

they are also properly installed

 

and grounded.

 

2. Some internal ground connec-

 

tions may have become loose.

 

Check that the screws which

 

mount the Control PC Board and

 

the Bypass Stabilizer PC Board

 

are tight. Also, all case parts

 

should be in place, and the case

 

screws should be tight.
