Error codes

In case of a malfunction, an error code is indicated on the digital multifunction display

 54

 and the corresponding error description 

appears on the LCD display

 50

. As long as an error code is indicated, welding operation is not possible.

Code lock function

The lock function in menu Extras is secured with a code lock. A three-digit code must be entered before the lock function can be 

changed. Only after the correct code is entered, the lock function can be altered. After leving the menu, a new code number can 

be set or the old code number is acknowledged. Code "000" is the default (factory setting) number.

Procedure:
