7.0  Appendix/self-test and troubleshooting 
 
7.1 Self-test 

The 

MULTISPOT M20 

is provided with a self-test program to 

check and evaluate the functions of the unit. 
 

7.2  Checking the LED displays 

Detach the gun from the power supply unit. 

Connect the unit to the power supply. 

Switch the unit OFF. 

Depress key "A", switch the unit ON, release the key "A". All 
the LEDs on the operating panel will be switched on in se-
quence.  

The test ends after 5 cycles or when any key is pressed. 

 

7.3  Mains-supply test and troubleshooting 

Test procedure: 

Connect gun and select the "stud welding" mode:  

Time to max: GH keys 

Insert spot electrode in the gun. 

Press the spot electrode firmly onto the earth shoe (36), 
press the gun trigger and perform the short-circuit weld. 

 

Evaluating the test 

 

LEDs under the mains plug symbol: 

Green                 No mains drop, full welding performance  

available 

Green+yellow     Insignificant mains drop, good welding  

performance 

Yellow                Larger mains drop, lower welding performance 
red         Critical mains drop, welding performance not  

sufficient 

Red                    Mains drop too great, spot welding is not  

possible. 

 

Causes of power drop under load: 

Extension cables too long. 

Mains power cord from power point (fuse box) to plug is too 
long or cable cross-section is too small. 

The mains voltage is below the normal value.
