The actual volts reading does NOT match the set volts reading within a few tenths of a volt. One reading may be erratic. The NA-5 does not shut off.

1.NA-5 units with a G1556-2 (or higher) voltage board do not con- trol the actual strike voltage to match the set strike voltage. The actual strike voltage is a function of the set strike voltage and the OCV contrtol characteristics of the welding power source.

NA-5 controls with a G1556-3 (or higher) voltage board must have the jumper plug connected to the 4-cavity receptacle on the board, unless the pulsed power filter board option is connected.

2.Make sure the shutdown “BYPASS” pins are not jumpered together on the NA-5 voltage board.

3.Check the voltage sensing leads for continuity. (zero ohms). #21 lead should have continuity to the work piece and #67 lead should have continuity to the wire feed head assembly. See wiring dia- gram.

4.Put the Lincoln welding power source in the machine control mode. Check to see if the power supply can be set for the arc volt- age required for the process. If not, the power supply may be faulty.

1.If the actual reading is the prob- lem check the actual volts switch and associated leads. See wiring diagram.

2.If the set reading is the problem check the set volts switch and the asociated leads. See wiring dia- gram.

3.Perform the Voltmeter Accuracy

Test

4.Perform the Meter Circuit

Accuraty Test.

5.The voltage board may be faulty.
