Likely problem
E017

E018
WARNING - DROP TIME IS
TOO LONG FOR SHORT CYC-
LE
The configurations of the drop time (F31)
and the front panel time make it such that
the pilot arc supply must be on for more
than 40ms. The maximum time the pilot
arc will stay on is 40ms, so it is possible
the arc will go out before the main arc
starts. For consistent welds, reconfigure
the drop time and\or front panel time to
satisfy the equation
