COURSE OF ACTION

Machine has maximum weld out-
put and no control.

Machine has minimum output
and no control.

1. If remote control is being

used, put output control switch
(SW3) in “OUTPUT CON-
TROL AT DC-1000” position
and control weld output with
the output control (R1) at DC-
1000. If the problem is solved,
check the remote control unit
(or wire feeder) and associat-
ed control cable.

1. If a remote control unit is NOT

connected to the terminal strip
#73, #74,#75, #76, and/or #77
terminals, the output control
switch must be in the “OUT-
PUT CONTROL AT DC-1000”
position.

2. If a remote control cable is

connected to terminals #73,
#74, #75, #76, and/or #77, the
leads may be shorted to the
positive weld output.

3. Make certain the three phase

input voltage is correct and
matches the machine rating
and the reconnect panel.

1. Check output control switch

(SW3) and associated wiring.

2. Check feedback leads #222

(negative output terminal) and
#215, #210(output shunt) for
loose or faulty connections.
See wiring diagram.

3. Check the #75 lead for conti-

nuity (zero ohms) from the
output control potentiometer
(R1) to the control board plug
10J1. See wiring diagram.

4. Perform

Firing Board Test.
