Rectifying faults 

All products are subject to rigorous production checks and final checks. If, despite this, something fails to 

work at any time, please check the product using the following flowchart. If none of the fault rectification 

procedures described leads to the correct functioning of the product, please inform your authorised dea-

ler. 

7.1  Checklist for rectifying faults 

The correct machine equipment for the material and process gas in use is a fundamental 

requirement for perfect operation!

Description 

 

 

Fault/Cause 

 

 

Remedy 

 

Welding torch overheated 

  Insufficient coolant flow 

Check coolant level and refill if necessary 

Eliminate kinks in conduit system (hose packages) 

 

Vent coolant circuit

 > see 7.2 chapter

 

   Loose welding current connections 

 

Check the plasma nozzle for firm seating. 

  Overload 

 

Check and correct welding current setting 

 

Use a more powerful welding torch 

 

No arc ignition 

  Incorrect ignition type setting. 

Setting the tungsten electrode 

 

Regrind or replace the tungsten electrode 

 

Ignition type: Select “HF start”. Depending on the machine, the setting is defined by the chan-

geover switch for ignition types or the 

 parameter in one of the machine menus (see the 

“Control operating instructions”, if applicable). 

 

Bad arc ignition 

  Material inclusions in the tungsten electrode due to contact with filler material or workpiece 

 

Regrind or replace the tungsten electrode 

 

Clean and change gas nozzle 

Insufficient plasma gas quantity 

 

Pilot arc current too low 

 

Pilot arc ignites but no main arc forms 

  Distance between workpiece and torch too high 

Decrease distance to workpiece 

  Contaminated workpiece surface 

 

Clean the workpiece surface 

  Bad current transfer on ignition 

Setting the tungsten electrode 

  Incompatible parameter settings 

 

Check settings and correct if necessary
