What to do if the Paton MINI overheat indicator is red?
If the mains switch is ON and the overheat status indicator is solid red, it means the thermal sensor has been triggered. Wait for the unit to cool down; it will automatically turn on again. Alternatively, the problem could be insufficient cooling air supply, so ensure sufficient airflow. If the problem persists, the thermal sensor might be defective.
Why is there no welding current in my Paton Welding System when the status indicator is green?
If the mains switch is ON, but there's no welding current and the source status indicator is green, the welding cables might be disconnected. Check the plug connections. Another possibility is that the ground is not connected or poorly connected; ensure good contact between the ground cable and the unit.
How to stop MMA electrode from sticking to the workpiece with Paton Welding System?
If the MMA electrode sticks to the workpiece, it indicates that the welding current is too low. Increase the welding current setting.
How to troubleshoot no welding current in Paton MINI when the status indicator is OFF?
If there is no welding current, the mains switch is ON, and the status indicator is OFF, check the mains cable for damage. Also, the supply voltage may be below 155V, so disconnect the unit and connect it to the mains with the appropriate supply voltage. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the internal power supply unit of the source may have failed.
Why does my Paton MINI produce poor weld quality with heavy spatter?
Poor weld quality with heavy spatter can be caused by wrong electrode polarity. Reverse the polarity of the electrode according to the electrode manufacturer's instructions. It can also be caused by poor ground contact, so fix the ground terminal as close as possible to the welding area.
What to do if my Paton MINI Welding System has poor MMA striking and the overheat indicator flashes red?
If you're experiencing poor MMA striking and the source overheat status indicator flashes red briefly, the supply voltage at the moment of striking is likely close to the minimum admissible value of 165V. If increasing the cross-section of the supply wires isn't possible, try decreasing the set current until the arc can be ignited. Then, use the electrode according to the current value.
Why does arc extinction occur sporadically during welding with my Paton MINI?
Sporadic arc extinction during welding can occur if the arc voltage of the electrode used is too high. If possible, use other electrodes or a welding unit of higher power.
What to do if the Paton MINI Welding System has no arc current and the status indicator is yellow?
If the Paton Welding System's status indicator lights yellow and there's no arc current, the temperature sensor may have been activated. Wait for the machine to cool down; it should then switch on automatically. Also, ensure there's sufficient air inflow for cooling. If the problem persists, the temperature sensor might be faulty, and you should contact a service facility.
Why Paton MINI Welding System has no arc current but the status indicator is green?
If the Paton Welding System shows no arc current, but the mains switch is on and the status indicator lights green, check the welding cable connections to ensure they are properly plugged in. Also, make sure the earth cable is reliably connected to the workpiece.
How to fix bad welding quality (intense splashing) on Paton MINI Welding System?
If you're experiencing bad welding quality (intense splashing) with your Paton Welding System, it could be due to incorrect electrode polarity. Change the polarity of the electrode according to the electrode's data. Alternatively, there might be poor contact with earth. Connect the earth terminal as close to the welding zone as possible.
