Problem Solutions
The gas pressure bar’s LED and the
temperature LED alternately blink when
the system is turned on.
This situation indicates that the power supply is
receiving a start signal. It is sometimes referred to
as a “stuck start.”
• If the power supply is turned on while the torch
trigger is pressed, the system will be disabled.
Release the trigger and restart the power supply.
The gas pressure bar’s LED illuminates
yellow at the bottom of the gauge, and
blinks.
• Inlet gas supply pressure is lower than the
minimum acceptable level. The LED continues
to blink for 10 seconds after the gas pressure is
restored to the acceptable range.
The arc does not transfer to the
workpiece.
• Clean the area where the work clamp contacts
the workpiece, to ensure a good metal-to-metal
connection.
• Inspect the work clamp for damage, and repair
itif necessary.
• The torch-to-work distance may be too large.
Move the torch closer to the workpiece and fire
the torch again. See Section4, Operation.
The arc blows out, but re-ignites when
the torch trigger is pressed again.
• Inspect the consumable parts and replace them
if they are worn or damaged. See Inspect the
consumables in this section.
• Replace the gas filter element if it is
contaminated. See Replace the gas filter element
in this section.
