What to do if the Entron EN1000 sequences but will not weld?
- H
  Hannah WeaverAug 17, 2025
  If the Entron Controller sequences properly but does not weld, first check any external weld/no weld switch or the WELD/NO WELD switch on the front panel, ensuring proper operation and secure wiring. If no external switch is present, use a jumper across NW1 & GND. Then, verify the welding transformer is connected to the lugs in the control (H1 and H2). Inspect for corroded or open connections, ensuring the welding electrodes close on the workpiece. If issues persist, the Terminal Strip/Firing PCB or the Control/Display PCB may be defective and need replacement with a board of the same A/N. Also check for missing phase.

Why does the solenoid valve chatter on my Entron Controller?
- K
  Kimberly WoodAug 20, 2025
  If your Entron Controller initiates and sequences properly, but the solenoid valve chatters, there are several potential causes. First, ensure that the valve supply voltage is not varying below -15% tolerance and that the valve coil has the correct voltage. Also, check for sufficient air pressure and loose connections in the valve wiring. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the Control/Display PCB or the Terminal Strip/Firing Board may be defective and need replacement. Refer to the Wiring Diagram for the correct A/N when replacing boards.

What to do if Entron EN1000 initiates, but stays in SQUEEZE?
- G
  Gabriel SchneiderAug 22, 2025
  If the Entron Controller initiates but remains in the SQUEEZE stage, the pressure switch connected to PS1 & GND may be defective or malfunctioning. Check the switch. If no pressure switch is used, try using a jumper for PS1 & GND. Alternatively, the Control/Display or Terminal Strip/Firing PCB might be defective, requiring replacement with a board stamped with the same A/N.

Why does the Entron EN1000 Controller not initiate, but the welder head or arms close?
- V
  Victoria BrownAug 26, 2025
  If your Entron Controller does not initiate but the welder head or arms close, it might be mis-wired for Single Stage operation. Check the pilot switch wiring and ensure the pilot switch operates correctly, with the First Stage closing before the Second Stage. If the wiring and switch function correctly, the Control/Display or Terminal Strip/Firing PCB may be defective, requiring replacement with a board stamped with the same A/N.

How to troubleshoot an Entron Controller with power ON but no display?
- K
  kathleen75Aug 28, 2025
  If your Entron Controller power switch is ON but there is no display, the control fuse F1 may be blown, the circuit breaker may be defective, or the control board may be defective. Check that the control is being powered by all phases. Replace the circuit breaker or the control board if necessary.

What to do if Entron EN1000 Controller initiates, valve light on, but electrodes don't close?
- M
  Megan PalmerAug 31, 2025
  If your Entron Controller initiates, and the valve light comes on, but the electrodes do not close, there could be a mis-wiring or broken wires in the solenoid valve circuit. Check the terminals VL1, SV1 and SV2, and the associated wiring, referring to the Wiring Diagram. It's also possible that the hydraulic (or air) line is blocked. Check the pressure and repair or replace any faulty air accessories.

Why will my Entron EN1000 Controller not initiate?
- D
  Daniel HansenSep 3, 2025
  If your Entron Controller will not initiate, the initiation switch(es) may be defective and need replacement. Check for loose or broken wires at the initiation switch(es) and at the Terminal Strip (FS1, FS2, etc.). Also, the valve fuses F6 - F8 may be blown, so check the valve solenoid coil. If these are not the cause, the Control/Display or Terminal Strip/Firing PCB may be defective and need replacement with a board stamped with the same A/N.

How to fix inconsistent welds with Entron EN1000 Controller?
- K
  Kevin SalasSep 6, 2025
  If you are experiencing inconsistent welds with your Entron Controller, check for varying air pressure by inspecting the air supply and accessories. Ensure the workpiece is square with the electrodes, checking the welding fixtures setup or electrode alignment. Verify proper part fit-up and that the material to be welded is free from excessive dirt, paint, and oxides. Finally, check all terminal and/or lug connections inside the cabinet for any looseness.

Why are my Entron EN1000 welds too "HOT"?
- J
  Judith RomeroSep 8, 2025
  If your Entron Controller is producing "HOT" welds, check the air supply and accessories to ensure sufficient air pressure. Reduce the WELD count duration and decrease the PERCENT CURRENT. Also, dress or replace the tip with the proper size.

Why are my Entron EN1000 welds too cool?
- D
  Douglas CamposSep 12, 2025
  If your Entron Controller is producing welds that are too cool, the line voltage may be dropping due to a high KVA demand for the welding transformer. Check the line voltage. Also, check the air system regulator, as excessive pressure at the electrodes could be a factor. Increase the WELD count duration and properly dress the tips.
