WIRE FEED OVERLOAD

PROTECTION

The wire drive has solid-state overload protection of the wire drive motor. If the wire drive motor becomes overloaded for an extended period of time the wire drive will issue a shutdown command to the Control Box and force its STATUS light to blink between green and red. The Control Box turns off the power source, wire feed and gas solenoid. The status light on the wire drive will continue to blink between green

and red for about 30 seconds before the wire drive will automatically reset. At that time, the wire drive will issue a shutdown over command to the Control Box that will return the system to normal operation. The wire drive will force its STATUS light to solid green.

Overloads can result from improper tip size, liner, drive rolls, or guide tubes, obstructions or bends in the gun cable, feeding wire that is larger than the rated capacity of the feeder or any other factors that would impede normal wire feeding.
