FUNCTION PROBLEMS
The weld output terminals are always electrically “hot”.
1.Remove any external leads hooked to #2 and #4 on the terminal strip. If the problem disappears, the fault is in the control cable or wire feeder.
2.If some open circuit voltage is present (over 3 VDC.) after performing Step #1, then the problem is within the DC- 1000.
1.Check for an internal short between leads #2 and #4. See wiring diagram.
2.The Pilot Relay (4CR) may be stuck closed. Check or replace.
3.Perform Firing Board Test.
