Problem

This may mean

Cause

Solution

The ON/OFF power
switch is set to ON (I), but
the power ON LED does
not illuminate.

There is insufficient
voltage to the control
circuits or a short-circuited
power component.

• The system has no

incoming voltage or an
improper incoming
voltage.

• The power board is

faulty.

• Check to see that the

system is plugged into
an appropriately-sized
circuit and that the
circuit breaker has not
been tripped.

Perform test 1 to check

the incoming voltage
and the power switch.

The power ON LED and
the gas pressure LED
illuminate.

There is insufficient gas
pressure to the machine.

• There is no gas

attached to the system.

• The gas supply line has

a restriction or the air
filter element is dirty.

• The pressure switch is

not reading at least
40 psi (2.8 bar) on the
gas supply line.

• Ensure that the gas

supply is connected
correctly.

• Check the gas supply

line for restrictions or
damage.

• Check the air filter

element and replace it if
necessary.

Perform test 9 to verify

that the pressure switch
functions correctly.

The power ON LED and
the temperature LED
illuminate.

The system has
overheated.

• You have exceeded the

duty cycle. (For more
information about duty
cycle, see

Section 4 of

the

Powermax30

Operator Manual.

• Check the area around

the system to make sure
that the air flow is not
blocked.

• If the duty cycle has

been exceeded, let the
system cool before
using it again.

Perform test 8 to make

sure the fan is operating
correctly.

The power ON LED
flashes.

The incoming voltage is
not correct.

• The incoming voltage is

below 90 VAC or above
285 VAC.

Perform test 1 to check

the incoming line
voltage.
