Machine faults (error messages) 

 

A welding machine error is indicated by the collective fault signal lamp (A1) lighting up and an 
error code (see table) being displayed in the machine control display. In the event of a machine 
error, the power unit shuts down. 

 

The display of possible error numbers depends on the machine version (interfaces/functions). 

•  If multiple errors occur, these are displayed in succession. 
•  Document machine errors and inform service staff as necessary. 

Error message 

Possible cause 

Remedy 

E 0

E13 

Electronics error 

E14 

Adjustment error in current 
recording 

Switch off the machine, place the electrode 
holder in an insulated position and switch the 
machine back on. If the error persists, notify 
service department 

E15 

Error in on of the electronics 
supply voltages 

Switch the machine off and on again. 
If the error persists, notify service department 

E23 

Temperature error 

Allow the machine to cool down 

E32 

Electronics error 

Switch the machine on and off again. 
If the error persists, notify service department 

E33 

Adjustment error in voltage 
recording 

Switch off the machine, place the electrode 
holder in an insulated position and switch the 
machine back on. If the error persists, notify 
service department 

E34 

Electronics error 

Switch the machine on and off again. 
If the error persists, notify service department 

E37 

Temperature error 

Allow the machine to cool down 

E40 

Motor fault 

Check wire feed unit, 
switch the machine off and on again, inform the 
service department if the fault persists. 

E55 

Failure of a mains phase 

Switch off the machine and check the mains 
voltage 

E58 

Short circuit in welding circuit 

Switch off machine and check welding current 
leads for correct installation, e.g., put down 
electrode holder in an electrically insulated 
manner, disconnect degausser current lead.
