What to do if there is no display on my HBS ARC 800?

  Gabriel RoseAug 12, 2025
  If there is no display on your HBS Welding System, ensure that there is a proper ground connection by tightening it securely. Also, check that the welding gun is correctly connected. High transition resistance between the stud and workpiece can also cause this, so clean or grind the material surface. A broken ground cable or welding gun cable can also be the cause; in such cases, replace the ground cable or the welding gun cable.

  Colin AndersonAug 16, 2025
  If there's no shielding gas, first ensure that the shielding gas is properly connected. Next, verify that the shielding gas control is enabled. If both are correct, the shielding gas valve may be defective and require replacement.

  If the gun on your HBS Welding System isn't lifting, first check if the lift is adjusted correctly by modifying the set parameters. Also, a short circuit in the solenoid circuit of the welding gun could be the cause, so replace the control cable connector, control cable, and solenoid. If the solenoid is defective, replace it. Also, check fuse F3 4 AF and replace it if defective.

How to fix HBS ARC 800 if mains switch doesn't stay in position 1?
- S
  Shelia HuntAug 27, 2025
  If the mains switch on your HBS Welding System does not stay in position 1, the mains switch itself may be defective and needs replacement. Another possible cause is a defective fuse F4 1 AF for the mains switch, which would also need replacement. Lastly, the mains cable could be defective, requiring its replacement.

Why does my HBS Welding System continuously display red 8 .. 2?
- N
  Natalie BrownAug 31, 2025
  A continuous red display of '8 .. 2' on your HBS Welding System indicates that the welding sequence is too fast. To resolve this, allow the switched-on stud welding unit to cool down.
