i4
Location: Inside the i4 and PR-2000 tool & accessory tray (under the rubber mat).
Purpose: To quickly determine the status of many internal systems without opening the
welder. The welder needs to be powered up. Look down through the window. There
are several lights to watch for. The Voltage Indicator windows have three LED lights in
each window, while the IGBT and Bus Bar windows have only one light per window.
NOTE: D means diode while the number determines the device’s board location.
1) Buss High Voltage OK: LED1 & 2 indicate 300 volts DC present. Both stay ON (but
often only one of them is seen unless top cover is removed).
D06= present
D26= present.
2) IGBT Control System OK: LEDs 1, 2, 3, 4 indicate voltage present across each
IGBT gate. Each LED should stay ON. LED 5 (yellow) indicates 15VDC control voltage
and should stay ON. These diodes are on a separate, vertically-mounted mini-board.
D107 = present
D108 = present
D109 = present
D110 = present
D101= 15V present
3) AC Input - Voltage Drop Condition: LEDs 4, 5, 6 indicate a problem if any of them
comes ON during welding. They all come on briefly during startup then stay OFF.
D23= Primary voltage drop 10%,
D22= Primary voltage drop 15%
D21= Primary voltage drop 20%
4) DC Voltage Indicators, LED 1, 2, 3 indicate logic voltages generated and present.
They come ON during startup and stay ON.
D10= 15V present
D11= 18V present
D12 = 24V present
