Fault icons and fault codes
The Powermax45 SYNC power supply shows faults using a combination of fault icons and fault
code numbers. Some faults are shown by the icons only, others are shown by the icons and a fault
code number.
Sometimes the icons do not indicate a fault
condition. If the Cut Mode icon or the Gouge
Mode icons flash, this indicates that the gas
pressure has been manually adjusted. When you
reset the gas pressure to its default setting, the
icons stop flashing. Refer to page 60.
