OUTPUT PROBLEMS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No output. Main fuses open, indicat-

 

 

 

1.

With input power removed

 

 

 

 

 

ing excessive current draw.

 

 

 

 

inspect input leads for possible

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

shorts or grounds or misconnec-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

Install new fuses and reapply

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

power. If fuses open again con-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tact your local Lincoln Authorized

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Field Service Facility.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Machine loses output when gun trig-

activated indicating that too much

 

 

Machine output returns after a few

 

 

 

 

output current is being drawn

 

 

seconds and trigger is pulled again.

 

 

 

 

from the machine. Reduce weld-

ing current demands or remove

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“fault” in welding cables.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

Make sure that the gun tip is not

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“shorted” to the work surface and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

that the proper welding proce-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dures are being used.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Machine is dead - no output -no

 

 

 

1.

Power switch must be in the

 

 

fans - no display.

 

 

 

 

“ON” position.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

Check the input voltage. Make

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sure all three phases are applied

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to the machine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.

With input power removed check

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

that the input voltage set-up

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

switch and jumper “A” ( the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

reconnect auxiliary jumper) are in

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the proper position for input volt-

Procedure in the Installation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Section.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.

With input power removed check

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

continuity of 3 amp slow blow

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

fuse located on reconnect panel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RECOMMENDED COURSE OF ACTION

If all recommended possible areas of misadjustment have been checked and the problem persists,

Contact your local Lincoln Authorized Field Service Facility.

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.
