TIG WELDING PROBLEMS
The machine output is intermittent-
ly lost. Gas flow and high frequen-
cy are also interrupted.
NOTE: BEFORE REPLACING A
CONTROL BOARD
If an Advanced Control Panel is
installed, remove it and replace
the Jumper in connector J-3. If
the machine functions normally,
the Advanced Process panel or
harness is defective.
1. The problem may be caused by
high
frequency
interference.
Make sure that the machine is
grounded properly according to
the installation instructions. If
there are other high frequency
sources in the area, make cer-
tain that they are grounded prop-
erly.
2. Make sure the Amptrol is operat-
ing properly.
3. Check to make sure that the
input voltage is correct for the
machine. Refer to
in the Installation
section of this manual.
1. Check for the loose or faulty con-

4.
The control board may be faulty.
5. Check the ground connection of
the bypass/ stabilizer pc board.
See the Wiring Diagram.
No gas or water flow ( with optional
water solenoid) when the arc start
switch or Amptrol is activated in the
TIG mode. All other machine func-
tions are normal.
1. The gas (or water) supply is
either empty or not turned on.
2. The flow regulator may be set
too low.
3. Check the supply hoses for kinks
or blockages.
4. The filters may be blocked.
1. Perform the
Gas Solenoid Test.
2. The control board may be faulty.
