SET volts and actual volts readings
match within a few tenths of a volt
while welding. However, both read-
ings are inaccurate.
1. Put the Lincoln power source in
the "Machine Control" mode.
Check to see if the power
source can be set for the arc
voltage required for the process.
If not, the power source may be
faulty.
2. The control cable may be faulty.
Check or replace.
1.
Check the voltage sensing
leads for continuity (zero ohms).
Lead #21 should have continu-
ity to the work piece, and lead
#67 should have continuity to
the brass conductor block. See
the Wiring Diagram.
2. Perform the
3.
The voltage board may be
faulty. Replace.
CAUTION
If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the test/repairs safely, con-
tact the Lincoln Electric Service Department for electrical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed. Call
216-383-2531 or 1-800-833-9353.
The actual volts reading does NOT
match the SET volts reading within
a few tenths of a volt while welding.
One reading may be erratic. The
LN-9 does NOT shut off.
NOTE: Pulse Power Filter kit may
slow down the shutdown feature.
1.
Make sure the shutdown
"BYPASS" pins are NOT
jumpered together on the LN-9
voltage PC board.
2.
Check the voltage sensing
leads for continuity (zero ohms).
Lead #21 should have continu-
ity to the work piece, and lead
#67 should have continuity to
the brass conductor block. See
the Wiring Diagram.
3. Put the Lincoln power source in
the "Machine Control" mode.
Check to see if the power
source can be set for the arc
voltage required for the
process. If not, the power
source may be faulty.
1. If the actual reading is the prob-
lem, check the actual volts
switch and associated leads.
2. If the SET reading is the prob-
lem, check the set volts switch
and the associated leads.
3. Check the Volts - Speed selec-
tor switch and associated leads.
4. The voltage PC board may be
faulty. Replace.
