10. ERROR CODES
• In error situation welding is stopped and an error code is displayed on the panel
• The user can clear the error by pressing any of the panel buttons and if certain conditions are fulfilled
• If there are multiple errors at the same time only one can be displayed at a time. After user has cleared one error
next is displayed and so on until there is no more errors
Error code Error Reason Action / remedy
-181 model: 195 V
-251 model: 204 V
-253, 323 models: 340V
-mains over voltage error can be
cleared after mains voltage has risen
over low limit.
3 Mains over voltage -mains voltage is over high limit:
-181 model: 265 V
-251 model: 276 V
-253, 323 models: 460V
-check mains voltage
-mains over voltage error can be
cleared after mains voltage has fallen
under high limit
4 Wire feed motor over current -wire feed motor current (6 amps longer
than 60 s) is too high
-motor is jammed longer than 60 s
-this error can be cleared after weld-
ing has stopped due to this error
-check wire feeding motor and mech-
anism
5 Wire feed motor control not
calibrated
-calibration parameters have been corrupted
-faulty control card A001
-start up machine (on/off)
-change control card A001
6 Power source control not
calibrated
-power source control calibration parame-
ters are not in predefined limits
-calibration parameters have been corrupted
-faulty control card A001
-start up machine (on/off)
- change control card A001
User interface memory error
-used wrong welding parameters (improper
value)
start up machine (on/off)
-check welding parameters
8 Memory channel 1 error -memory channel data is invalid / corrupted -start up machine (on/off)
-check welding parameters
memory channel data is invalid / corrupted
start up machine (on/off)
-check welding parameters
10 Memory channel 3 error -memory channel data is invalid / corrupted -start up machine (on/off)
-check welding parameters
11 Memory channel 4 error -memory channel data is invalid / corrupted -start up machine (on/off)
-check welding parameters
12 Continuous short circuit in the out-
put of the power source
-there is continuous (over 2s.) short circuit in
the output of the power source.
-remove short circuit from machine
output (contact tip is connected /
short circuited in welding piece)
100 Microcontroller error -microcontroller reset. Possible reason: tig
ignition spark.
-start up machine (on/off)
101 Microcontroller error -microcontroller reset. Possible reason:
flash memory has been corrupted
-start up machine (on/off)
microcontroller reset. Possible reason: ele
tromagnetic disturbance
start up machine (on/off)
103 Microcontroller error -microcontroller reset. Possible reason: elec-
tromagnetic disturbance
-start up machine (on/off)
110 Panel communication error -communication error between panel card
P001 and control card A001
-check flat cable/connectors between
panel- and control card
111 Panel communication error -communication error between panel card
P001 and control card A001
-check flat cable/connectors between
panel- and control card
Panel communication error
communication error between panel card
P001 and control card A001
check flat cable/connectors between
panel- and control card
