What to do if my Amada MacGregor DC 13-T Welding Accessories machine is on, but has no output?
If your Amada Welding Accessories machine is on but not producing any output, it might be overheating or experiencing a feedback fault. Clear the fault and inhibit. Allow the machine to cool down, then investigate the reasons for overheating. Also, check the output connections.
Why does my Amada MacGregor DC 13-T Welding Accessories machine continually produce a HARDWARE/FEEDBACK fault?
The most common reason for a continuous HARDWARE/FEEDBACK fault in your Amada Welding Accessories machine is broken voltage feedback wires. Perform a quick check for voltage feedback by attempting a weld with internal sensing. You can do this by disconnecting the leads and fitting links, or by unplugging the voltage sensing jack socket. Also, check the electrode contact.
What to do if my Amada MacGregor DC 13-T Welding Accessories machine will not trigger?
If your Amada Welding Accessories machine won't trigger, the most frequent cause is a loss of +24VDC or wiring issues. You should check the fuse and wiring.
What to do if my Amada MacGregor DC 13-T machine is on but has no output when using distribution electronics?
If you're using distribution electronics and your Amada Welding Accessories machine is on but has no output, the loss of output could stem from either the power supply or the distribution electronics. To troubleshoot, disconnect the distribution electronics and connect a load directly across the welder. Then, try a sample weld pulse.
What to do if my Amada Welding Accessories machine continually produces a HARDWARE/FEEDBACK fault when using distribution electronics?
If your Amada Welding Accessories machine continually shows a HARDWARE/FEEDBACK fault when using distribution electronics, the issue lies either in the power supply or the distribution electronics. Disconnect the distribution electronics and connect a load directly across the welder to isolate the problem. Then, try a sample weld pulse.
Why does my Amada MacGregor DC 13-T machine continually exceed upper or lower limits?
Variations in the electrode, particularly when it's new, often cause the Amada Welding Accessories machine to exceed upper or lower limits. Try running several trial welds and check the electrode alignment. Operate the machine in constant current mode to rule out voltage feedback problems. Locate the cause of the voltage feedback problem.
How to fix no RS232 communication with Amada MacGregor DC 13-T Welding Accessories?
If you're experiencing no RS232 communication with your Amada Welding Accessories, the problems generally occur with incorrect wiring or incompatible software. Check the connections, paying particular attention to Tx & Rx.
What to do if my Amada Welding Accessories machine starts, but displays UNABLE TO ESTABLISH COMMS?
If your Amada Welding Accessories machine starts but shows 'UNABLE TO ESTABLISH COMMS', it means that incompatible software is installed. You should fit the correct software.
What to check if the main display of Amada Welding Accessories is not illuminated?
To troubleshoot an unilluminated main display on your Amada Welding Accessories, check the rear panel fuses, the mains supply to the machine, and the mains fuse.
What to check if the power on indicator of Amada MacGregor DC 13-T Welding Accessories is not illuminated?
To troubleshoot the Amada Welding Accessories when the power indicator isn't lit, check the rear panel fuse (if there's one). Disconnect all external +24VDC connections. Check the mains fuse and the mains supply to the machine.
