WARNING

Mar ‘95

ELECTRIC AND

MAGNETIC FIELDS

may be dangerous

2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes

localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding

current creates EMF fields around welding cables and

welding machines

2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and

welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician

before welding.

2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health

effects which are now not known.

2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to

minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:

2.d.1.

Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure

them with tape when possible.

2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.

2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and

work cables. If the electrode cable is on your right

side, the work cable should also be on your right side.

2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as

possible to the area being welded.

2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the

radiator pressure cap when the engine is

hot.

SAFETY

ARC RAYS can burn.

4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover

plates to protect your eyes from sparks and

the rays of the arc when welding or observing

open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens

should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.

4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant

material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from

the arc rays.

4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable

screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose

themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can

kill.

3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits

are electrically “hot” when the welder is on.

Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare

skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free

gloves to insulate hands.

3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.

Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full

area of physical contact with work and ground.

In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding

must be performed under electrically hazardous

conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet

clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or

scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,

kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or

accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use

the following equipment:

• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.

• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.

• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.

3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,

electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic

welding gun are also electrically “hot”.

3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical

connection with the metal being welded. The connection

should be as close as possible to the area being welded.

3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical

(earth) ground.

3.f.

Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and

welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace

damaged insulation.

3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.

3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of

electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage

between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage

of both welders.

3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect

yourself from a fall should you get a shock.

3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.

FUMES AND GASES

can be dangerous.

5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases

hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these

fumes and gases. When welding, keep

your head out of the fume. Use enough

ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep

fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When

welding with electrodes which require special

ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see

instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or

cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings

which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as

low as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)

using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In

confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a

respirator may be required. Additional precautions are

also required when welding on galvanized steel.

5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected

by various factors including proper use and positioning of

the equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the spe-

cific welding procedure and application involved. Worker

exposure level should be checked upon installation and

periodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicable

OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits.

5.c.

Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon

vapors

coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.

The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors

form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating prod-

ucts.

5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and

cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,

especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

5.e. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this

equipment and the consumables to be used, including the

material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your

employer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available from

your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

5.f. Also see item 1.b.

AUG 06

FOR ELECTRICALLY

powered equipment.

switch at the fuse box before working on

the equipment.

8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National

Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’s

recommendations.

8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National

Electrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

CYLINDER may explode

if damaged.

7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders

containing the correct shielding gas for the

process used and properly operating

regulators designed for the gas and

pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for

the application and maintained in good condition.

7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely

chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.

7.c. Cylinders should be located:

• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to

physical damage.

• A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and

any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.

7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other

electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.

7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet

when opening the cylinder valve.

7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand

tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for

use.

7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas

cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l,

“Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in

Cylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association

1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

SAFETY

iii

Mar ‘95

WELDING SPARKS can

cause fire or explosion.

6.a.

Remove fire hazards from the welding area.

If this is not possible, cover them to prevent

the welding sparks from starting a fire.

Remember that welding sparks and hot

materials from welding can easily go through small cracks

and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near

hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.

6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,

special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous

situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI

Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the

equipment being used.

6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode

circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact

can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.

6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the

proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures

will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances

inside. They can cause an explosion even

though

they have

been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended

Safe Practices for the

Preparation

for Welding and Cutting of

Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous

Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society

(see address above).

6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or

welding. They may explode.

6.f.

Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil

free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,

cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear

ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.

Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a

welding area.

6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding

area as practical. Work cables connected to the building

framework or other locations away from the welding area

increase the possibility of the welding current passing

through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate cir-

cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains

or cables until they fail.

6.h. Also see item 1.c.

SAFETY

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ

Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions

et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce

manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suiv-

antes:

Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc

1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:

a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tension

quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours

tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue

ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans

trous pour isoler les mains.

b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand on

soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher

metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans

les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande

partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.

c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble

de soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état

defonctionnement.

d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour le

refroidir.

e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension

des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder

parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le

total de la tension à vide des deux machines.

f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de

courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions

pour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de

soudage.

2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger

contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais

enrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partie

du corps.

3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel,

donc:

a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié

ainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-

onnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ou

quand on regarde l’arc.

b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la

peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de

l‘arc.

c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité au

soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.

4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc de

soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres

de l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-

talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.

5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de

soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les

zones où l’on pique le laitier.

6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de

prévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.

7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de

la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un

échauffement et un risque d’incendie.

8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible

de la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on place

la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres

endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque

de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev-

age, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer

des risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et des

câbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.

9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.

Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles

galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui

produit des fumeés toxiques.

10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant

d’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La

chaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs

du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)

ou autres produits irritants.

11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté,

voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA

Standard W 117.2-1974.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR

LES MACHINES À SOUDER À

TRANSFORMATEUR ET À

REDRESSEUR

1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de

l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif

de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une

bonne mise à la terre.

2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seront

effectués par un électricien qualifié.

3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debranch-

er à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.

4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur

place.

case facilitates installation of the machine under a workbench

and stacking the machines two high to conserve floor space.

A permanent lifting eye is located at the top of the machine and

is positioned so that it acts as nearly as possible through the

center of gravity. This lift eye fits under the case of the second

machine without interference when stacking.

STACKING

Two DC-1000’s may be stacked by observing the following

safety precautions:

1. Make sure the first or bottom unit is setting on a level, well-

supported surface.

2. The units must be stacked with their fronts flush, making

sure the two holes in the base rails of the top unit are over

the two pins located on top of the bottom unit.

INPUT WIRING

Be sure the voltage, phase and frequency of the input power is

as specified on the welder nameplate.

Dual voltage (e.g. 230/460) models are shipped connected for

the highest voltage. To change the connection, see the connec-

tion diagram pasted to the inside of the access panel in the

case back.

Have a qualified electrician remove the rear access panel and

connect 3 phase AC power to terminals L1, L2and L3of the

input panel in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical

Code, all local codes and the wiring diagram located inside the

machine.

The welder frame must be grounded. A stud marked with the

symbol located inside the machine near the input panel is

provided for this purpose. See the U.S. National Electrical Code

for details on proper grounding methods. (See Technical

Specifications)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The DC-1000 is an SCR-controlled three phase DC

power source. It is designed with a single range

potentiometer control for submerged arc or open arc

automatic and semiautomatic welding. It can be used

for air carbon arc cutting with carbon rods up to and

including 5/8” (15.9mm) dia. The DC-1000 (below

code 9500) is not recommended for stick welding or

for solid wire and gas in the short arc welding mode.

With the addition of the 500 amp output stud to DC-

1000 models above code 9500, GMAW procedures

can be performed. This connection provides the

enhanced lower current arc characteristics required

for this type of welding.

The DC-1000 is provided with a three position mode

switch that selects CV Innershield®, CV Submerged

Arc or CC (Variable Voltage) Submerged Arc.

The unit is designed to be used with the NA-5, NA-5R

and NA-3 automatics, the LT-56 and LT-7 tractors,

and can also be used with the LN-7, LN-8 or LN-9

semiautomatic wire feeders.

rated output range of the machine. See Table1 for

recommended DC-1000 cable sizes for combined

lengths of electrode and work cables.

The 500 amp output connections provide enhanced

lower current arc characteristics, especially for sub-

merged arc and GMAW procedures below 450 amps.

Auxiliary Power

This machine supplies the 115 volt, AC power needed

for operating wire feeding equipment. The power is

available from terminals #31 and #32 on the terminal

strip. An 8 amp slow blow fuse on the machine control

panel protects the auxiliary power from excessive

overloads. The circuit has a 1000 volt-ampere rating.

Control Cable Connection

Terminal strips with screw connections are located

behind the hinged door on the front of the power

source to make all the control cable connections for

operating wire feeding equipment. See the appropri-

ate connection diagram for exact instructions covering

the wire feeder being used.

With the DC-1000 turned off, the control cable from

the automatic wire feeding equipment is connected to

the terminal strip. A strain relief box connector is pro-

vided for access into the terminal strip section. A

chassis grounding screw is also provided below the

terminal strip marked with the symbol for connect-

ing the wire feeding equipment grounding wire. See

the appropriate connection diagram for the exact

instructions for the wire feeder being used. A spare

hole is provided for an additional box connector if

required.

Connecting for Air Carbon Arc:

a. Turn off all power.

b. Disconnect all wire feed unit control, electrode and

work leads.

c. Connect a jumper from 2-4 on terminal strip.

d. Place mode switch in the CV(I) position.

With the DC-1000 connected for air carbon arc weld-

ing, the output terminals will be energized at all times.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: All P.C. boards are protected by a moisture

resistant coating. When the welder is operated, this

coating will “bake off” of certain power resistors that

normally operate at high temperatures emitting some

smoke and odor for a short time. These resistors and

the P.C. board beneath them may become blackened.

This is a normal occurrence and does not damage the

component or affect the machine performance.

TO SET POLARITY

Turn off the DC-1000 and connect the electrode cable

to the “Positive” or “Negative” studs depending upon

the electrode polarity desired. Connect the work cable

to the other stud. (See “Output Connections”).

Set the “Electrode Negative-Electrode Positive” switch

to correspond to the polarity of the electrode cable

connection. This switch setting is necessary for proper

operation of some Lincoln wire feeders and does not

change the welding polarity.

Starting the Machine - The push button power “on”

switch at the extreme right side of the control panel

energizes and closes the three phase input contactor

from a 115 volt auxiliary transformer. This in turn ener-

gizes the main power transformer.

The red light below the stop-start button indicates

when the input contactor is energized.

Output Control - The output control in the center of

the control panel is a continuous control of the

machine output. The control may be rotated from min.

to max. while under load to adjust the machine output.

The machine is equipped with line voltage compensa-

tion as a standard feature. This will hold the output rel-

atively constant except at maximum output of the

machine, through a fluctuation of +/- 10% of input line

voltage.

Output Control at DC-1000 or Output Control

Remote Switch

The toggle switch on the control panel labeled “Output

Control at DC-1000” / “Output Control Remote” gives

the operator the option of controlling the output at the

machine control panel or at a remote station. For

remote control, the toggle switch is set in the “Output

Control Remote” position and controlled at the wire

feed unit control or by connecting a K775 control to

the appropriate terminals (as indicated on the connec-

tion diagram) on the terminal strip at the front of the

machine. For control at the machine control panel, the

toggle switch is set in the “Output Control at DC-1000”

position.

Remote Output Control - (Optional)

The K775 Remote Output Control consists of a control

box with 28 ft. (8.4m) of four conductor cable. This

connects to terminals 75, 76, 77 on the terminal strip,

and the case grounding screw so marked with the

symbol on the machine. These terminals are

made available by opening the terminal access cover

on the left side of the case front. This control will give

the same control as the output control on the

machine.

Mode Switch

The toggle switch labeled C (I) Innershield, CV(S)

Submerged Arc, CC (or Variable Voltage) is used to

select the proper welder characteristics for the

process being used. The CC (or Variable Voltage)

mode is primarily available for use with older wire

feeding equipment such as the LAF-3, LT-34 and so

forth. Use of this type of older equipment requires the

addition of an NL Option Kit.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Do not touch electrically live parts or

electrode with skin or wet clothing.

• Insulate yourself from work and

ground.

• Always wear dry insulating gloves.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

FUMES AND GASES can be danger-

ous.

• Keep your head out of fumes.

• Use ventilation or exhaust to remove

fumes from breathing zone.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or

explosion.

• Keep flammable material away.

• Do not weld on closed containers.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING

Set-Up for Various Procedures

1. Selection of mode switch position - There are

several general rules to follow in the selection of

the mode switch position.

a. Use the CV(I) mode for all FCAW and GMAW

processes. The CV(I) mode is also used for

air carbon arc using carbon rods up to and

including 5/8” (15.9mm) dia.

Welding with NR®-151, 202, 203 and other

electrodes below 20 volts, is not recommend-

ed.

b. Use the CV(S) mode for all submerged arc

welding. This applies to both low and high

travel speeds.

c. The CC (Variable Voltage) mode is available

for high current large puddle submerged arc

procedures that cannot be done as well with

the constant voltage mode. CC mode should

be used for 3/16” (4.8mm) diameter electrode

and above where high current surges cause

machine shutdown when starting. This occurs

primarily when the slag ball is not cut from the

electrode prior to starting. (Also requires a

wire feeder that has a constant current mode

- i.e. NA-3S).

NOTE: Some processes and procedures may be bet-

ter with the mode switch in the other CV position. If

the mode switch position initially selected is not pro-

ducing the desired results, then place the mode switch

in the other CV position and make a test weld. Then

use the CV mode switch position that gives the

desired results.

2. NA-3 - The NA-3 should be set for the mode being

used on the power source. If using either of the

CV modes, the NA-3 CC board switch should be

set for CV. If the power source is used in the CC

mode, then the NA-3 CC board mode switch

should be placed in the CC position.

All the NA-3’s when used with the DC-1000 are capa-

ble of cold starting with the constant current board

mode switch in CC. Cold starting permits the wire to

be inched down to the work, automatically stop, and

automatically energize the flux hopper valve. All NA-

3’s made after September, 1976 are capable of cold

starting on either CV or CC settings of the constant

current board.

On the NA-3, set the open circuit voltage control to the

same dial setting as the arc voltage control. If the pro-

cedure has not yet been established, a good starting

point is to set the OCV to #6.

Run a test weld, setting the proper current, voltage

and travel speed. Once the proper welding procedure

is established and if the start is poor - wire blast off,

stub, etc. - adjust the NA-3 OCV and inch speed con-

trols for optimum starting. In general, a low inch speed

and an OCV dial setting identical to the voltage dial

setting will provide the best starting.

To further optimize starting, adjust the OCV by making

repeated starts and observing the NA-3 voltmeter

action. With proper adjustment of the OCV control, the

voltmeter needle will swing smoothly up to the desired

arc voltage and thus provide repeatable starts.

If the voltmeter swings above the set voltage and then

back to the desired welding voltage, the OCV setting

is too high. This usually results in a bad start where

the wire tends to “blast off”.

If the voltmeter needle hesitates before coming up to

the desired voltage, the OCV is set too low. This will

cause the electrode to stub.

3. NA-5 - Set the DC-1000 mode switch to the

process being used - CV(I) Innershield or CV(S)

Sub Arc. Set the DC-1000 machine/remote switch

in the remote position. Set the OCV control four

volts higher than the welding voltage and the inch

speed at 1/2 the welding wire feed speed for the

initial test weld. Adjust the OCV and inch speed as

required for optimum starting. Refer to the NA-5

instruction manual for data regarding the setup of

controls and modes on the NA-5.

4. LN-8 - Set the LN-8 mode switch (located on the

CC board) to the CV position. Set the DC-1000

mode switch on CV(I) Innershield or CV(S) Sub

Arc according to the process being used.

5. LN-7, LN-9 and other constant wire feed units -

Set the DC-1000 mode switch on CV(I) Innershield

or CV(S) Sub Arc according to the process being

used. If using an LN-9, refer to the LN-9 instruction

manual for further instructions on its use. If using

an LN-7, it will be necessary to use either a K775

Remote Control or operate the DC-1000 with the

machine/remote switch in the machine position.

NL Option Kit (Not Required with NA-3, NA-5, LT-7

or LT-56).

The K783 NL Option Kit (for field installation) is

designed to permit use of the obsolete NA-2, LAF-3,

LT-3 and LT-3 section of the LT-34 tractor. It provides

the necessary DC control power for the operation of

the equipment and the necessary circuitry for proper

inching, cold starting and arc striking. In using the NL

Option Kit, a K775 remote field control is required and

is included as part of the kit. Installation instructions

are included with the NL Option Kit.

MAINTENANCE

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Have an electrician install and service

this equipment.

• Turn the input power off at the fuse

box before working on equipment.

• Do not touch electrically hot parts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

1. The fan motors have sealed bearings which

require no service.

2. In extremely dusty locations, dirt may clog the air

channels causing the welder to run hot. Blow out

the welder with low pressure air at regular inter-

vals as required to eliminate excessive dirt and

dust buildup on internal parts.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The power source is thermostatically protected with

two proximity thermostats against overload or insuffi-

cient cooling. One thermostat is located on the trans-

former secondary Negative Output Lead, and the

other thermostat is located on the choke coil. The

thermostats are connected in series in the machine

control circuit so that if an excessive overload is

applied to the machine, or the machine should receive

insufficient cooling on either the main transformer,

SCR bridge assembly or choke, the input contactor

would open and remain open until the machine cools.

It can then be manually restarted by operating the

start push button.

The power source is also protected against heavy

overloads on the SCR bridge assembly through an

electronic protection circuit. This circuit senses an

overload on the power source and opens the input

contactor should the overload remain for a predeter-

mined time. The predetermined time varies with the

amount of overload; the greater the overload, the

shorter the time. The input contactor will remain open

until the power source is manually started with the

start push button.

The control board is designed with adequate protec-

tion so that no damage will occur if the remote control

leads are shorted together or are grounded to the

case. The machine will automatically shut down if

such faults do occur.

An 8-amp fuse located on the machine control panel

protects the 115 volt auxiliary AC circuit (#31 and #32)

from overload. If replacing, use the same type and

size fuse.

CONTROL/FAULT PROTECTION P.C. BOARD

1. LED1 indicates AC input voltage is present at pins

255-256. If not lit, check the voltage across the

secondary winding of the control transformer, T2.

The voltage should be approximately 115 volts. If

not, the problem is in the power supply and not the

P.C. board.

2. LED2 indicates welder output voltage is being sup-

plied to the control circuit. If not lit, check to make

certain lead 222 from pin 2 of the 15-pin control

circuit P.C. board connector is connected to the

power source negative output lead and is not bro-

ken.

3. LED3 indicates power is being applied to fault pro-

tection pilot relay 2CR to turn on the input contac-

tor.

4. LED4 indicates when overcurrent protection circuit

is being activated.

5. LED5 indicates a control signal is being supplied

to the firing circuit. As the output control is varied,

LED5 should change brilliancy from bright at low

PROCEDURE FOR REPLACING P.C. BOARDS

When P.C. board is to be replaced, the following pro-

cedure must be followed:

1. Visually inspect P.C. board in question. Are any of

the components damaged? Is a conductor on the

back side of the board damaged? All P.C. boards

are protected by a moisture resistant coating.

When the welder is operated, this coating will

“bake off” of certain power resistors that normally

operate at high temperatures emitting some

smoke and odor for a short time. These resistors

and the P.C. board beneath them may become

blackened. This is a normal occurrence and does

not damage the component or affect the machine

performance.

a. If there is no damage to the P.C. board, insert

a new one and see if this remedies the prob-

lem. If the problem is remedied, replace the

old P.C. board and see if the problem still

exists with the old P.C. board.

1) If the problem is no longer present with the

old board, check the P.C. board harness

plug and P.C. board plug for corrosion,

contamination, or oversize.

2) Check leads in the harness for loose con-

nections.

b. If there is damage to the P.C. board, refer to

the Troubleshooting Guide

that it is not broken and is connected to each

Molex connector. If the lead shows continuity and

lights 1 through 6 are not lit, replace the firing cir-

cuit P.C. board. If any one of the lights 1 through 6

is not lit and lights 7 through 9 are lit, replace the

firing circuit P.C. board.
