Character   function signal light 

Indicates that it is possible to weld in an environment with major electric hazards, such 
as in boilers. Service must be informed if this signal light is not on. 

11 

 

Coolant fault signal light 

Signals pressure loss or low coolant level in the coolant circuit. 

12 

VRD 

Voltage reduction device (VRD) signal light 

The VRD signal light is illuminated when the voltage reduction device is operating wit-
hout fault and the output voltage is reduced to a value specified in the relevant stan-
dard (see technical data)

 > see 4.5 chapter

. The voltage reduction device is only active 

on VRD machine versions. 

13 

Hold 

Signal light Status display 

After each completed welding task, the last values used in the welding process for the 
welding current and welding voltage are shown on the displays, and the signal light will 
be on 

14 

 

Excess temperature signal light 

In case of excess temperature, temperature monitors de-activate the power unit, and 
the excess temperature control lamp comes on. Once the machine has cooled down, 
welding can continue without any further measures. 

15 

 

Access control active signal light 

Signal light is on when access control is active on the machine con-
trol

 > see 4.4 chapter
