9.  Diagnostics and Repairing:  

 

The following table provides a guide for troubleshooting the welding machine: 

Symptom 

Cause 

Solution 

Faulty input  power 

Check supply voltage if it is 220V
± 15%? 50/60Hz 

Loose power plug   Connect the power socket 

‘ POWER’ LED 
does not turn 
on 

Loosen or broken 
power wires  

Open the power plug and re-connect the 
power wires 

 

Faulty controller  Replace defective AN350 controller 

AN-350/SCR driver  
wires open-circuit 

Check wiring between AN350 and the SCR 
driver, ensure good connections 

AN-350 shows 
E01 error 

SCR over-heated 

Check SCR and associated assembly 

Check discharge SCR assembly 

Replace faulty SCR (thyrister) 

Check  X5-5 ? X5-6 on SCR driver for 
wirings to discharge SCR 

AN-350 shows 
E03 error 

Discharge fault 

Replace faulty AN-350 controller or 
SCR driver board 

Check charging SCR assembly 
Check  X6-2 , X6-3 on SCR driver for 
wirings to the charging SCR 

Replace charging SCR or resistor 

AN-350 shows 
E04 error 

Charging fault 

Replace faulty AN-350 controller or 
SCR driver board 

AN-350 shows 
E05 error 

Over-voltage fault 

Replace faulty AN-350 controller or 
SCR driver board 

Broken control wire 

Faulty stun gun 
solenoid 

Malfunction 
Stud Gun 

Faulty mechanical 
parts 

Inspect wiring and/or replace stun 
gun assembly 

 Note: 1. The power must be disconnected for diagnostics and repairing in 

order to prevent accidents!  

2.Contact our technical service department immediately for
