ON SCREEN ERROR MESSAGE

HIGH LINE: CHECK

RECONNECT PANEL

PRESS ANY KEY

TO STOP MESSAGE

MESSAGE EXPLANATION

Indicates to operator that the line voltage is too high, and the output voltage has been reduced to protect the capacitor bank voltage rating limits. 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 greater than 121% of nominal line. The operator should check if the reconnect panel is wired properly. Pressing any key or gun switch when the operator is not welding will stop the message from being displayed. Pressing any incre- ment 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.

CURRENT OVERLOAD REDUCE OUTPUT

PRESS ANY KEY TO STOP MESSAGE

Indicates to operator that too much current is being drawn from the machine, and the output has been reduced to prevent the current from exceeding safe levels. This will typically occur in Manual mode using .045" (1.2mm) wire and WFS greater than 275 IPM (0.7m/min.). Lowering the WFS will reduce the output requirement and allow operation within the machine rating. Pressing any key or gun switch when the operator is not welding will stop the message from being displayed. Pressing any incre- ment or decrement arrow keys or gun switch while welding will temporarily stop the message from being displayed (approximately 1.3 seconds) allow- ing the operator to view the increase or decrease in that setting.
