COURSE OF ACTION
When welding the start timer does
not time out. The unit stays in the
start mode.
The crater light does not light. The
crater controls (voltage and wire
feed speed) may or may not func-
tion. The NA-5 is at idle with the
selector switch in the ”Crater” pos-
tion.
The crater light is ON but the crater
controls (voltage and wire feed
speed) do not function. The NA-5 is
at idle with the selector switch in the
“Crater” position.
1. When the weld is stopped check
to see if the crater (if used) or
burnback timer is functioning
properly. If the crater and or burn-
back timer IS functioning properly
the start timer may be faulty.
2. If the start, crater and burnback
timers are not working properly
the procedure board may be
faulty.
1. Make sure the crater option
boards are installed correctly.
2. The procedure board may be
faulty. Replace.

also lit (along with the crater light)
the procedure board may be
