Failure
in
the
control
or
drive
circuits
of
the
wel
-
ding control board
In
order
to
check
the
proper
operation
of
these
circuits
it is
necessary
to
use
specific
test
and
troubleshootin
g
tools.
Anyway
, a
visual
inspectio
n
coul
be
enough
to
localise
possible
damages
caused
by
a failure.
In
case
of evidence of damages consider the suggested action.
Replace the welding control board
ATTENTION For

Before
replacing

please
check
that
the

works
properly
. If
not
re

voltage
or

available
current
low or negligible. With
auto-idle
installed,
the
r.p.m.
never
slows-down
to
idle.
Hall sensor failed
Disconnect
the
Hall
sensor
from
the
welding
control
board
(on
the
W
AC
or
within
the
electrical
box,
as
applicable)
and
check
that,
in
this
condi
-
tion,
the
open
circuit
voltage
reading
is
correct.
When
the
VRD
is
instal
-
led, the voltage goes to VRD value. If
a
resistive
load
bank
is
available,
check
that
it is
possible
draw
power
(do
not
exceed
100A).
If
the
Auto-idle
is
installed,
in
this
condition
the
machine does not exit the idle. In any case, don’t try to weld with the Hall sensor disconnected. If the test gives positive result, consider the indicated action.
Replace the Hall sensor
