PROBLEMS (SYMPTOMS)

No wire feed or arc voltage when the gun trigger is activated. The drive rolls do not turn. The LN-8 appears “dead”.

POSSIBLE AREAS OF MISADJUSTMENT(S)

FUNCTION PROBLEMS

1.Check the Ground Lead Protector (GLP). Reset if necessary.

2.Check the circuit breaker. Reset if necessary.

3.Make sure 115VAC is being applied to the LN-8 at the input receptacle. Pin “C” lead #31 and pin “D” lead #32.

4.Check the 1/2 amp fuse located on the relay board. Replace if necessary.

5.If the LN-8 has a variable voltage board and the power source is a constant current supply, check to make sure the switch on the vari- able voltage board is in the “VV” position.

6.If the switch on the variable board is in the “VV” position, make sure the power source is set for an open circuit voltage of 30VDC or more.

RECOMMENDED COURSE OF ACTION

1.Check for loose or faulty con- nections between the input receptacle, the circuit breaker, and the 2 ohm resistor. See wiring diagram.

2.Check the 2 ohm resistor. Replace if faulty.

3.Perform the Trigger

Transformer Test.

4.Perform the Internal Voltage

Test.

5.Perform the 1CR Relay Test.

6.Check the relay board. Replace if faulty.

7.Check the variable voltage board (if used). Replace if faulty.
