(SYMPTOMS)

POSSIBLE

CAUSE

RECOMMENDED

COURSE OF ACTION

BASIC MACHINE PROBLEMS

Thermal LED is ON.

1. Improper fan operation.

1. Check for proper fan operation. (Fans

should run whenever output power is
on.)  Check for material blocking intake
or exhaust louvers, or for excessive dirt
clogging cooling channels in machine.

2. Output Rectifier board or Choke

thermostat. 

2. After machine has cooled, reduce load,

duty cycle, or both.  Check for material
blocking intake or exhaust louvers and
heat sink fins.

3. DC Bus PC board thermostat.

3. Check for excessive load on 40VDC

supply.

4. Open thermostat circuit.

4. Check for broken wires, open

connections or faulty thermostats on the
DC Bus and Output Rectifier heat sinks,
and Choke assembly.
