No. Fault Cause Remedy
Indicator lamp NL failure, improper
contact
Check contacting sections. Replace the
indicator lamp NL.
1 Power supply indicator lamp does not
light even if the switch in the switch gear
is turned ON.
Improper primary input contact Check the connections.
Cooling fan or control circuit failure Check the cooling fan.
Indicator lamp NL
lights.
Control circuit fuse F1 blown Investigate the cause and replace the fuse.
2 Cooling fan does
not rotate even if
power supply
switch is turned
ON.
Indicator lamp NL
does not light.
Refer to No. 1.
−
Insufficient gas regulator pressure Check the gas pressure.
No gas flows even
if the gas adjusting
position is set.
