8.3.14 E014 Warning - Cold Plunge - Stud Hit
After Current Was Shut Off
Fatal, meaning you have to power down to continue
welding
>> No
Acknowledge, meaning the error will exist as long as the unit
is powered on. (Note, welding can continue while the error
exists)
>> No
Description:
The gun coil was de-energized and the stud did not hit the molten pool
before current was shut off. This lends itself to cold welds. Adjustments
should be made to the unit settings to avoid this condition.
•
Re-configure drop time (F31). Perform a weld while viewing F31. The
unit will measure the new drop time and use it in weld timing.
•
Increase the short circuit on time (F2). This is extra assurance that
even with varying gun drop times, the current will stay on long enough to
overcome the variation.
8.3.15 E017 Warning - Pilot Blew Out
Fatal, meaning you have to power down to continue welding
>> No
Acknowledge, meaning the error will exist as long as the unit
is powered on. (Note, welding can continue while the error
exists)
>> No
Description: During the pilot arc stage, the gun lifted as expected. The
arc voltage would be within a window of 12V and 60V (typically 30-
40V). This error is generated if the arc voltage exceeds 60V,
representing a condition where the pilot arc blew out.
For this condition, check surface conditions and clean the workpiece of
any ferrule dust or debris.
