What to do if there's no 115 volts AC output at the receptacle on my Miller Welding System?
If there is no 115 volts AC output at the Remote 14 receptacle RC1 or the optional duplex receptacle on your Miller Welding System, reset circuit breaker CB1 if necessary. Check the wiring and connections of the receptacle(s).
How to troubleshoot no 24 volts AC output at Remote 14 receptacle RC1 on Miller XMT 304 Welding System?
If there is no 24 volts AC output at the Remote 14 receptacle RC1 on your Miller Welding System, reset circuit breaker CB2 if necessary. Check the wiring and connections of the Remote 14 receptacle RC1.
How to fix a Miller XMT 304 with no weld output and completely inoperative?
If your Miller Welding System is completely inoperative with no weld output, start by ensuring the line disconnect switch is in the On position. Then, check and replace any blown line fuses, or reset the circuit breaker. Verify that the input power connections are properly connected. Check the continuity of the Power switch S1 and replace it if necessary. Inspect the filter board PC6 for proper connections, and check its input and output voltages, replacing PC6 if needed. Finally, examine the control transformer T2 for winding failure signs, check continuity across windings, ensure proper connections, and check secondary voltages, replacing T2 if necessary.
Why is my Miller XMT 304 stuck at maximum weld output with no control?
If your Miller Welding System is giving maximum weld output with no control, check the resistance and connections of the hall device HD1; HD1 should measure 1800 ohms ±10% between pins 1 and 3 of plug PLG9, and verify its input and output voltages, replacing it if necessary. Inspect the control board PC1 and display board PC3, checking their connections and replacing them if necessary. Verify the volt sense lead connections from the weld output studs to PC1. Check the incoming power for the correct voltage and replace the line fuse if it's open. Ensure proper input and output connections. If using remote amperage/voltage control, check the position of the Amperage/Voltage control R2.
What causes erratic weld output in a Miller XMT 304?
If your Miller Welding System is producing erratic or improper weld output, ensure you are using the proper size and type of weld cable. Clean and tighten all weld connections. Check that all input and output connections are correctly made. Replace the electrode. Check the resistance and connections of the remote amperage control potentiometer, and replace it if necessary. Check the resistance and connections of hall device HD1; HD1 is 1800 ohms ±10% between pins 1 and 3 of plug PLG9. Check input and output voltages, and replace HD1 if necessary. Check control board PC1 and connections, and replace if necessary.
How to troubleshoot low weld output with no control on a Miller XMT 304 Welding System?
If your Miller Welding System has low weld output with no control, check the position of the Voltage/Amperage Control switch S2. Check the resistance and connections of hall device HD1; HD1 should measure 1800 ohms ±10% between pins 1 and 3 of plug PLG9, and verify its input and output voltages, replacing it if necessary. Inspect the control board PC1 and display board PC3, checking their connections and replacing them if necessary.
Why is the tungsten electrode oxidizing after welding with my Miller XMT 304?
If the tungsten electrode is oxidizing and not remaining bright after welding with your Miller Welding System, shield the weld zone from drafts. Increase the postflow time. Check and tighten all gas fittings. Also, check for water in the torch.
How to fix wandering arc and poor control of arc direction on Miller XMT 304 Welding System?
If you're experiencing a wandering arc or poor control of arc direction with your Miller Welding System, use the proper size tungsten, ensure the tungsten is properly prepared, and reduce the gas flow rate.
