WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

With the input power ON, there are high volt- ages inside the machine. Do not reach into the machine or touch any internal part of the machine while power is on.

9.Carefully apply the correct input power to the Multi-Weld 350 (50 – 113 VDC).

10.Set the Multi-Weld 350 to either CC or CV mode. The contactor should activate. If it does not, increase the input voltage but do not exceed 113 VDC.

11.Carefully check for approximately 40 VDC at leads #303A to #330. If the 40 VDC is applied to the coil leads, the contactor should activate.

12.If the reading is less than 40 VDC or not present, perform the DC Buss Power

Supply PC Board Test.

13.Also check leads #303A, #330, #303, #403, #230 and their associated plugs for loose or faulty connections. See the Wiring Diagram.

TEST FOR CONTACT CONTINUITY

1.Disconnect input power to the Multi-Weld 350.

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

Disconnect input power before removing the case cover and performing tests or making repairs to the machine.

2.Perform the Power Module Capacitor Discharge procedure.

3.Locate the input contactor and coil leads #303A and #330. See Figure F.3.

4.Label and disconnect leads #303A and #330 at their in-line connectors.

5.Using the external, isolated 40 VDC power supply, carefully apply 40 VDC to the coil leads. The contactor should activate.

6.With the contactor activated, check the con- tinuity across the large contacts. (Zero ohms or very low resistance is normal.) See Figure F.3. If the resistance is high, the input contactor is faulty. Replace the input contactor.

7.When the contactor is not activated, the resistance should be infinite or very high across the contacts. If the resistance is low, the input contactor is faulty. Replace the input contactor.

8.Remove the 40 VDC external supply and reconnect the coil leads previously removed.

9.If finished testing, perform the Case Cover Replacement procedure.
