An attempt was made to recall from memory an Auto setup whose process doesn’t
match the process in the machine. This message indicates the process required
and alternates with the second message until the Process key is pressed.
An attempt was made to recall a setup from memory that has improper settings
due to excessive electrical interference. The SP-255 will recall the setup and reset
the improper data to within machine limits. However, all settings should be
checked, properly set if needed, and then resaved to that memory. This message
alternates with the second message until the Process key is pressed.
Unit shut down even though trigger was closed. There is an excessive current
draw on the motor. Check for proper size tip, liner, and drive rolls, for any obstruc-
tions or bends in the gun cable, and any other factors that would impede the wire
feeding. To resume welding, simply pull the trigger.
Indicates that an error has occurred due to excessive electrical interference. All of
these error types turn off the arc voltage, wire feed speed, and solenoid. Press the
Process key, per second message, and check all settings before continuing to
weld.

DATA
Reminds the operator that the gun switch is being used to toggle between memory
4 and memory 5 and, therefore, is not able to control IPM or arc VOLTS.
Reminds the operator to change the electrode polarity to negative when
Innershield wire type is selected.
Indicates to operator that the input line voltage is too low to obtain the output set
on the machine. The operator can continue to weld, but the voltage will be less
than what is set on the machine. This message occurs when the line voltage is
less than 75% of nominal line or if the voltage level set on the machine is not
obtainable at that line voltage and load current. The operator should check if the
reconnect panel is wired properly. Lowering the set VOLTS and/or IPM can elimi-
nate the message. Pressing any key or gun switch when the operator is not weld-
ing will stop the message from being displayed. Pressing any increment or decre-
ment arrow keys or gun switch while welding will temporarily stop the message
from being displayed (approximately 1.3 sec.) allowing the operator to view the
increase or decrease in that setting.

occurs frequently.
