ERROR CODES FOR THE POWER WAVE

®

R450

The following is a partial list of possible error codes for the POWER WAVE

®

R450. For a complete listing consult the Power Wave

Manager “Lookup Error”.

Error Code #

36

Thermal error

54 Secondary (Output) over current error

56 Chopper communication error

58 Primary Fault error

71 Secondary (Output) over power error

Other

Indication

Indicates over temperature. Usually accompanied by Thermal LED. Check fan
operation. Be sure process does not exceed duty cycle limit of the machine

The long term average secondary (weld) current limit has been exceeded.

NOTE:

The long term average secondary current limit is 325A (1 Phase) or

575A (3 Phase).

Indicates communication link between main control board and chopper has
errors. If cycling the input power on the machine does not clear the error, contact
the Service Department.

Review error code from input board status light or status beeper. Most likely
caused by an over power condition which caused an under voltage on the prima-
ry bus. If cycling the input power on the machine does not clear the error, contact
the Service Department.

The long term secondary (Weld) power limit has been exceeded.
NOTE: The long term average secondary current limit is 25kw (3 Phase), 14kw (1
Phase).

Error  codes  that  contain  three  or  four  digits  are  defined  as  fatal  errors.  These
codes  generally  indicate  internal  errors  on  the  Power  Source  Control  Board.  If
cycling  the  input  power  on  the  machine  does  not  clear  the  error,  contact  the
Service Department.
