CHECK SETTINGS

MESSAGE EXPLANATION

An attempt was made to recall a setup from memory that has improper set- tings due to excessive electrical interference. The SP-250 will recall the setup and reset the improper data to within machine limits. However, all settings should be checked, properly set if needed, and then resaved to that memory. This message alternates with the second message until the Process key is pressed.

rent draw on the motor. Check for proper size tip, liner and drive rolls, for

 

any obstructions or bends in the gun cable, and any other factors that would

 

impede the wire feeding. To resume welding, simply pull the trigger.

 

 

XXXX ***ERROR***

Indicates that an error has occurred due to excessive electrical interference.

CHECK SETTINGS

All of these error types turn off the arc voltage, wire feed speed, and sole-

 

noid. Press the Process key, per second message, and check all settings

 

before continuing to weld.

LOW LINE: CHECK RECONNECT PANEL

PRESS ANY KEY TO STOP MESSAGE

Indicates to operator that the input line voltage is too low to obtain the out- put set on the machine. The operator can continue to weld, but the voltage will be less than what is set on the machine. This message occurs when the line voltage is less than 75% of nominal line or if the voltage level set on the machine is not obtainable at that line voltage and load current. The opera- tor should check if the reconnect panel is wired properly. Lowering the set VOLTS and/or IPM can eliminate the message. Pressing any key or gun switch when the operator is not welding will stop the message from being displayed . Pressing any increment or decrement arrow keys or gun switch while welding will temporarily stop the message from being displayed (approximately 1.3 sec.) allowing the operator to view the increase or decrease in that setting.
