TROUBLESHOOTING |
USING THE STATUS LED TO TROUBLESHOOT SYSTEM PROBLEMS
There are two status lights that display error codes. If a problem occurs it is important to note the condition of the status lights. Therefore, prior to cycling power to the sys- tem, check the power source status light for error sequences as noted below.
There is one externally mounted status light located on the case front of the machine. This status light corresponds to the main control boardʼs status. A second status light is internal and is located on the input control board and can be seen by looking through the left case side louvers. There is an audible beeper associated with this input control boardʼs status light. So the error codes on the input board can be detected through either the status light or the status beeper.
Included in this section is information about the Status Lights and some basic troubleshooting charts for both machine and weld performance.
The status lights for the main control board is a
