TROUbLESHOOTING GUIDE

Observe Safety Guidelines

detailed in the beginning of this manual.

PRObLEMS (SYMPTOMS)

Gun trigger works and arc can be struck. Unit then shuts down while welding, or voltage output too low to establish arc (LN-9 ACTUAL VOLTS meter reading is low, zero or negative when trigger is closed).

POSSIbLE AREAS OF

MISADJUSTMENT(S)

WIRE FEEDING PRObLEMS

1.Check to see if the wire feeder or power source "Electrode Polarity" switches are set properly. Set Polarity Switches in proper position. See the topic "Electrode Polarity Switch" in the Operation section.

2.Check to make sure lead #21 has continuity (zero ohms) to the work piece.

3.Check that the power source voltage control is set for REMOTE. R3S or DC-power source voltage control switch must be set to REMOTE.

4.Check that the LN-9 GMA control cable leads or weld cables are properly connected to the power source. Refer to the connection diagram for the LincoIn power source being used.

5.Check to see if the 1/8 A fuse on Voltage P.C. board is blown. If it is, determine cause of fuse blowing.

6.Determine whether the welding power source is able to supply SET voltage. If not, reset the output range controls of the power source so it can supply SET voltage.

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 necessary tests/repairs safely, contact your local authorized field service facility before you proceed.
