THERMAL PROTECTION
Sunstone’s capacitive discharge welders are equipped with temperature sensors. If the unit is hot it
will warn the user with a pop up. After the unit is cool enough to operate, the welder will go back to
normal operation. Please maintain a clear space of 6+ inches around the welder fans. FIGURE 6,
below, shows the location of the fans on the back of the welder.
FIGURE 6: For proper cooling, ensure all fan locations are
unobstructed.

POWER BUTTON: A latching push button that turns the unit on when depressed.
If unpressed the unit will turn off. Warning: DO NOT turn the welder off during
boot up. Allow enough time for unit to completely boot up before turning unit

equipment connected to the welder.
