ERROR CODES FOR THE POWERWAVE

The following is a list of possible error codes that the Power Wave 455/STT can output via the status light (see "Troubleshooting the Power Wave / Power Feed System Using the Status LED." If connected to a PF-10/11 these error codes will generally be accompanied by an "Err 006" or "Err 100" on the user interface display.

 

 

 

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)

 

 

 

33

Capacitor "B" under voltage

 

 

input configuration, or an open/short circuit in the primary side of

 

 

 

(Right side facing machine)

 

 

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, excessive line voltage, or improper capacitor

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

35

Capacitor "B" over voltage

 

 

balance (see Error 43)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Right side facing 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

Softstart error

 

 

Capacitor precharge failed. Usually accompanied by codes 32-35.

 

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 for the STT stud and all single phase operation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

43

Capacitor delta error

 

 

The maximum voltage difference between the main capacitors has

 

 

 

been exceeded. May be accompanied by errors 32-35.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the tests/repairs safely, contact your Local Lincoln Authorized Field Service Facility for technical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed.
