RECOMMENDED
COURSE OF ACTION

FUNCTION PROBLEMS

No control of arc voltage. Wire
feeding is normal.

1. The arc voltage encoder may be

dirty. Rotate several times and
check if problem is resolved.

1. The arc voltage encoder may be

faulty. Codes 10562 have both
Encoders on one board. Codes
above 10562 have single
Encoders.

2. If machine has code 10562 or

lower change Encoder Board. If
machine has Code above 10562

Perform Encoder Test.

3. Perform the

Chopper Board

Test.

4. The Control board may be faulty.

Replace.

CAUTION

There is no gas flow when gun trig-
ger is pulled. Wire feeds and weld
voltage is present.

1. Check gas source and hoses for

leaks or kinks.

2. Check regulator on the tank for

the pressure being set to high.

1. Check for 6.5 VDC when trigger

is pulled at feedhead Board, Plug
J83-3 lead 833 and J83-4 lead
834. See Wiring Diagram.

If you read 12 VDC solenoid may
be open or a bad connection.
Check wiring.

Check the gas solenoid by discon-

necting it from the Feeder Board
(Plug J83-3 & 4) and applying a 12
VDC external supply to the gas
solenoid. If the solenoid does NOT
activate then it may be faulty.
Replace.

2. If 6.5VDc is not present the

Feeder broad may be faulty.
Replace.
