Neither encoder control knob functions.

The LN-10 is dead. The displays and LEDs on the keypad are off. The green and red LEDs on the control board are not lit.

The displays and LEDs on the key- pad are off. The green and red LEDs on the control board are both blinking normally at about one sec- ond intervals.

The displays and LEDs on the key- pad are off. The green and/or red LEDs on the control board are blinking at a very fast or erratic rate.

The wire feed is consistent and adjustable, but operates at the wrong speed.

1.Check the wiring and plug con- nections between the encoder boards and the control board. (Plug J2) See the Wiring Diagram.

1.Make sure the LN-10 is con- nected properly to the power source.

2.Make sure 42 VAC is being applied to the LN-10 at the input receptacle terminals A and B.

1.Check the wires and connectors (J11 and J3) between the dis- play board and the control board for loose or faulty connec- tions.

1.Make sure the LN-10 is con- nected properly to the power source.

2.Make sure 42 VAC is being applied to the LN-10 at the input receptacle terminals A and B.

1.Make certain the DIP switch S1 is correctly set for the wire drive and gear ratio. See Wire Drive Head Selection.

1.Perform the Encoder Board Test.

2.The control board may be faulty.

1.The input rectifier bridge may be faulty. Check for 42 VAC at the red leads. Also check for at least 42 VDC at leads #542(+) to #500(-). See the Wiring Diagram.

2.The control board may be faulty.

1.Check leads #512 (1J3) to #500 (3J3) for the presence of 12.8 VDC. If the 12.8 VDC is not present the control board may be faulty.

2.If the 12.8 VDC is present the display board may be faulty.

1.The control board may be defective.

1.The control board may be faulty.
