  laurenhughesAug 17, 2025
  If the Fronius Welding System indicates an 'Ignition time-out', it means the current didn't start flowing before the set wire length was fed, and the power source safety cut-out was activated. Try pressing the torch trigger repeatedly. Also, clean the workpiece surface. If the problem persists, increase the time until the safety cut-out is triggered via the level 2 setup menu.

What to do if Fronius MagicWave 4000 shows error 'PE'?
- J
  Joshua LiuAug 20, 2025
  If your Fronius Welding System displays error 'PE', the earth current watchdog has triggered the power source's safety cut-out. To resolve this, switch off the power source, wait 10 seconds, and then switch it back on. If the error continues after several attempts, the provided information is insufficient to resolve this issue.
