Why is the arc unstable on my Daihen Portable Generator?
- A
  Amy WebbAug 2, 2025
  If the arc from your Daihen Portable Generator is unstable, consider these potential causes: * Incorrect welding mode settings: Verify the wire diameter, wire materials, and shielding gas settings. * Defective wire or wire feeding issues: Inspect the wire and wire feeder for any problems. * Incorrect voltage detection cable connection: Ensure the voltage detection cable is properly connected. * Noise in the voltage detection cable: Adjust the arc characteristics to the plus side.

What to do if the wire is not fed on my Daihen Portable Generator?
- D
  Dustin ToddAug 6, 2025
  If your Daihen Portable Generator isn't feeding wire (and no error code appears), it could be due to: * The pressure roll of the wire feeder came off. You should correctly set the pressure roll of wire feeder. Consult the wire feeder's instruction manual for setting instructions. * Abnormalities in the wire feeder cables. Make sure that there is no abnormality in cables of the wire feeder.

What does continuous WCR signal output on Daihen Portable Generator mean?
- C
  Cynthia MillerAug 28, 2025
  If the monitor of the robot shows continuous output of the WCR signal on your Daihen Portable Generator, the WCR relay of the welding power source may be broken. The WCR relay on the printed circuit board PCB1 (P30099P00) needs to be replaced. Contact your dealer.
