SAFETY  
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.  
ARC RAYS can burn.  
3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits  
are electrically ā€œhotā€ when the welder is on.  
Do not touch these ā€œhotā€ parts with your bare  
skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free  
gloves to insulate hands.  
4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover  
plates to protect your eyes from sparks and  
the rays of the arc when welding or observing  
open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens  
should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.  
3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.  
Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full  
area of physical contact with work and ground.  
4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant  
material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from  
the arc rays.  
4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable  
screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose  
themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.  
In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding  
must be performed under electrically hazardous  
conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet  
clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or  
scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,  
kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or  
accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use  
the following equipment:  
FUMES AND GASES  
can be dangerous.  
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases  
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these

your head out of the fume. Use enough  
ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep  
3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,  
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic  
welding gun are also electrically ā€œhotā€.  
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When  
welding with electrodes which require special  
ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see  
instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or  
cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings  
which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as  
low as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)  
using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In  
confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a  
respirator may be required. Additional precautions are  
also required when welding on galvanized steel.  
3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical  
connection with the metal being welded. The connection  
should be as close as possible to the area being welded.  
3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical  
(earth) ground.  
3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and  
welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace  
damaged insulation.  
5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected  
by various factors including proper use and positioning of the  
equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific  
welding procedure and application involved. Worker expo-  
sure level should be checked upon installation and periodi-  
cally thereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL  
and ACGIH TLV limits.  
3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.  
3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically ā€œhotā€ parts of  
electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage  
between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage  
of both welders.  
5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors  
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.  
The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to  
form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating prod-  
ucts.  
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect  
yourself from a fall should you get a shock.  
3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.  
5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and  
cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,  
especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.  
5.e. Read and understand the manufacturerʼs instructions for this  
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the  
material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your  
employerʼs safety practices. MSDS forms are available from  
your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

materials from welding can easily go through small cracks  
and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near  
hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.  
7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely  
chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.  
6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,  
special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous  
situations. Refer to ā€œSafety in Welding and Cuttingā€ (ANSI  
Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the  
equipment being used.  
7.c. Cylinders should be located:  
•Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to  
physical damage.  
•A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and  
any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.  
6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode  
circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can  
cause overheating and create a fire hazard.  
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other  
electrically ā€œhotā€ parts to touch a cylinder.  
6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the  
proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures  
will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances  
inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have  
been ā€œcleanedā€. For information, purchase ā€œRecommended  
Safe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of  
Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous  
Substancesā€, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society  
(see address above).  
7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet  
when opening the cylinder valve.  
7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand  
tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for  
use.  
7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas  
cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l,  
ā€œPrecautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in  
Cylinders,ā€ available from the Compressed Gas Association  
1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.  
6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or  
welding. They may explode.  
6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil  
free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,  
cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear  
ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.  
Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a  
welding area.  
FOR ELECTRICALLY  
powered equipment.  
8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect  
switch at the fuse box before working on  
the equipment.  
6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding  
area as practical. Work cables connected to the building  
framework or other locations away from the welding area  
increase the possibility of the welding current passing  
through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits.  
This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or  
cables until they fail.  
8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National  
Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturerʼs  
recommendations.  
8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National

Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions  
et les prĆ©cautions de sĆ»retĆ© specifiques qui parraissent dans ce  
manuel aussi bien que les prĆ©cautions de sĆ»retĆ© gĆ©nĆ©rales suiv-  
antes:  
7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince Ć  une endroit isolĆ© de  
la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un  
Ć©chauffement et un risque dʼincendie.  
8. Sʼassurer que la masse est connectĆ©e le plus prĆ©s possible de  
la zone de travail quʼil est pratique de le faire. Si on place la  
masse sur la charpente de la construction ou dʼautres endroits  
Ć©loignĆ©s de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque de voir  
passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de levage,  
cĆ¢bles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer des  
risques dʼincendie ou dʼechauffement des chaines et des  
cĆ¢bles jusquʼà ce quʼils se rompent.  
SĆ»retĆ© Pour Soudage A LʼArc  
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse Ć©lectrique:  
a. Les circuits Ć  lʼélectrode et Ć  la piĆ©ce sont sous tension  
quand la machine Ć  souder est en marche. Eviter toujours  
tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue  
ou les vĆ©tements mouillĆ©s. Porter des gants secs et sans  
trous pour isoler les mains.  
b. Faire trĆ©s attention de bien sʼisoler de la masse quand on  
soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher met-  
allique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans  
les positions assis ou couchĆ© pour lesquelles une grande  
partie du corps peut ĆŖtre en contact avec la masse.  
c. Maintenir le porte-Ć©lectrode, la pince de masse, le cĆ¢ble de  
soudage et la machine Ć  souder en bon et sĆ»r Ć©tat defonc-  
tionnement.  
9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.  
Ceci est particuliĆ©rement important pour le soudage de tĆ“les  
galvanisĆ©es plombĆ©es, ou cadmiĆ©es ou tout autre mĆ©tal qui  
produit des fumeĆ©s toxiques.  
10. Ne pas souder en prĆ©sence de vapeurs de chlore provenant  
dʼopĆ©rations de dĆ©graissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La  
chaleur ou les rayons de lʼarc peuvent rĆ©agir avec les vapeurs  
du solvant pour produire du phosgĆ©ne (gas fortement toxique)  
ou autres produits irritants.  
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-Ć©lectrode dans lʼeau pour le  
refroidir.  
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanĆ©ment les parties sous tension  
des porte-Ć©lectrodes connectĆ©s Ć  deux machines Ć  souder  
parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut ĆŖtre le total  
de la tension Ć  vide des deux machines.  
f. Si on utilise la machine Ć  souder comme une source de  
courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions  
pour le porte-Ć©lectrode sʼapplicuent aussi au pistolet de  
soudage.

SAFETY  
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)  
Conformance  
Products displaying the CE mark are in conformity with European Community Council Directive of 3 May  
1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility  
(89/336/EEC). It was manufactured in conformity with a national standard that implements a harmonized  
standard: EN 60974-10 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Product Standard for Arc Welding Equipment.  
It is for use with other Lincoln Electric equipment. It is designed for industrial and professional use.  
Introduction  
All electrical equipment generates small amounts of electromagnetic emission. Electrical emission may be  
transmitted through power lines or radiated through space, similar to a radio transmitter. When emissions  
are received by other equipment, electrical interference may result. Electrical emissions may affect many  
kinds of electrical equipment; other nearby welding equipment, radio and TV reception, numerical controlled  
machines, telephone systems, computers, etc. Be aware that interference may result and extra precautions  
may be required when a welding power source is used in a domestic establishment.  
Installation and Use  
The user is responsible for installing and using the welding equipment according to the manufacturerʼs  
instructions. If electromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be the responsibility of the user of the  
welding equipment to resolve the situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases  
this remedial action may be as simple as earthing (grounding) the welding circuit, see Note. In other cases  
it could involve construction of an electromagnetic screen enclosing the power source and the work com-  
plete with associated input filters. In all cases electromagnetic disturbances must be reduced to the point  
where they are no longer troublesome.  
Note: The welding circuit may or may not be earthed for safety reasons according to national  
codes. Changing the earthing arrangements should only be authorized by a person who is  
competent to access whether the changes will increase the risk of injury, e.g., by allowing  
parallel welding current return paths which may damage the earth circuits of other equip-  
ment.  
Assessment of Area  
Before installing welding equipment the user shall make an assessment of potential electromagnetic prob-  
lems in the surrounding area. The following shall be taken into account:  
a) other supply cables, control cables, signaling and telephone cables; above, below and adjacent to the  
welding equipment;  
b) radio and television transmitters and receivers;  
c) computer and other control equipment;  
d) safety critical equipment, e.g., guarding of industrial equipment;  
e) the health of the people around, e.g., the use of pacemakers and hearing aids;  
f) equipment used for calibration or measurement  
g) the immunity of other equipment in the environment. The user shall ensure that other equipment being  
used in the environment is compatible. This may require additional protection measures;  
h) the time of day that welding or other activities are to be carried out.

SAFETY  
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)  
The size of the surrounding area to be considered will depend on the structure of the building and other  
activities that are taking place. The surrounding area may extend beyond the boundaries of the premises.  
Methods of Reducing Emissions  
Mains Supply  
Welding equipment should be connected to the mains supply according to the manufacturerʼs recommen-  
dations. If interference occurs, it may be necessary to take additional precautions such as filtering of the  
mains supply. Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently installed welding  
equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding should be electrically continuous throughout its  
length. The shielding should be connected to the welding power source so that good electrical contact is  
maintained between the conduit and the welding power source enclosure.  
Maintenance of the Welding Equipment  
The welding equipment should be routinely maintained according to the manufacturerʼs recommendations.  
All access and service doors and covers should be closed and properly fastened when the welding equip-  
ment is in operation. The welding equipment should not be modified in any way except for those changes  
and adjustments covered in the manufacturers instructions. In particular, the spark gaps of arc striking and  
stabilizing devices should be adjusted and maintained according to the manufacturerʼs recommendations.  
Welding Cables  
The welding cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned close together, running at  
or close to floor level.  
Equipotential Bonding  
Bonding of all metallic components in the welding installation and adjacent to it should be considered.  
However, metallic components bonded to the work piece will increase the risk that the operator could  
receive a shock by touching these metallic components and the electrode at the same time. The operator  
should be insulated from all such bonded metallic components.  
Earthing of the Workpiece  
Where the workpiece is not bonded to earth for electrical safety, not connected to earth because of its size  
and position, e.g., ships hull or building steelwork, a connection bonding the workpiece to earth may reduce  
emissions in some, but not all instances. Care should be taken to prevent the earthing of the workpiece  
increasing the risk of injury to users, or damage to other electrical equipment. Where necessary, the con-  
nection of the workpiece to earth should be made by a direct connection to the workpiece, but in some  
countries where direct connection is not permitted, the bonding should be achieved by suitable capaci-  
tance, selected according to national regulations.  
Screening and Shielding  
Selective screening and shielding of other cables and equipment in the surrounding area may alleviate  
problems of interference. Screening of the entire welding installation may be considered for special applica-

230V INPUT  
Make sure the power available at the input connection  
is adequate for normal operation of the machine. The  
fuse rating and cable sizes are both indicated in the  
technical specification section of this manual.  
To achieve the full output capacity of the INVERTECĀ®  
V155-S, 230VAC inputs should be used. The change  
over is accomplished by replacing the 120VAC plug  
with a 30 Amp 230VAC plug (NEMA 6-30P).  
Fuse the input circuit with time delay fuses marked ā€œDā€  
1
or delay type circuit breakers. Using fuses or circuit  
ATTACHMENT PLUG  
breakers smaller than recommended may result in  
ā€œnuisanceā€ shut-offs from welder inrush currents even  
if not welding at high currents.  
In all cases, the green or green/yellow grounding wire  
must be connected to the grounding pin of the plug, usu-  
ally identified by a green screw.  
1Also called ā€œinverse timeā€ or ā€œthermal/magneticā€ circuit breakers.  
These circuit breakers have a delay in tripping action that decreases  
as the magnitude of the current increases.  
All attachment plugs must comply with the Standard for  
Attachment Plugs and Receptacles, UL498.  
The INVERTECĀ® V155-S is recommended for use on  
an individual branch circuit.  
The product is considered acceptable for use only when  
an attachment plug as specified is properly attached to  
the supply cord.  
120V INPUT  
The rated output of the INVERTECĀ® V155-S is avail-  
able when connected to a 30A branch circuit. When  
connected to a branch circuit with lower ampacity,  
lower welding current and duty cycle must be used. An  
output guide is provided below. The values are approx-  
imate and must be adjusted downward if the fuse or  
circuit breaker trips off. Other loads on the circuit and  
fuse/circuit breaker characteristics will affect the avail-  
able output. Do not exceed these welding conditions:  
(See Table A.1)  
The INVERTECĀ® V155-S will auto reconnect to either  
120V or 230V supplies.  
ENGINE DRIVEN GENERATOR  
The machine is designed to operate on engine driven  
generators as long as the auxiliary can supply ade-  
quate voltage, frequency and power as indicated in the  
"Technical Specification" Installation Section of this  
manual. The auxiliary supply of the generator must  
also meet the following conditions:  
The INVERTECĀ® V155-S is provided with a 120/230V  
cable, 6.6ft.(2m) in length, with a 15Amp 5-15P plug  
molded onto the cord.  
• Vac peak voltage: below 205V (for 115Vac input) or  
410V (for 230Vac input).  
The INVERTECĀ® V155-S is supplied with an addition-  
al 20A plug that can replace the 15A plug to achieve  
higher output. To install the supplied 20A plug:  
• Vac frequency: in the range of 50 or 60 Hertz.  
• RMS voltage of the AC waveform: 115Vac or  
230Vac 10%  
Connect the white (neutral) wire under terminal clamp  
with silver screw, and black (hot) wire under terminal  
clamp with brass screw. Connect green wire under ter-  
minal clamp with green screw.  
It is important to check these conditions because many  
engine driven generators produce high voltage spikes.  
Operation of this machine with engine driven genera-  
tors not conforming to these conditions is not recom-  
mended and may damage the machine.

THEORY OF OPERATION  
If the Yellow LED illuminates, and the Red and Green  
LEDʼs blink on and off alternately, the unit is unable to  
cool itself adequately. Check to make sure the fan is  
not obstructed and the fan is operating properly. Prior  
to resuming normal operation, the unit must be turned  
off and turned back on to reset this error condition.

8. Input cable: This machine is provided with a  
plugged input cord. Connect it to the mains.  
9. Fan: This machine has a F.A.N. (Fan As Needed)  
circuitry inside: the fan is automatically turned ON  
or OFF. This feature reduces the amount of dirt  
which can be drawn inside the machine and reduces  
power consumption. The F.A.N. operates differently  
in different weld mode.  
The circuit determines the amount of current neces-  
sary to release the metal droplet that is being trans-  
ferred from the electrode to the workpiece to guarantee  
the arc stability without going too high, to minimize the  
spatter levels. That means:  
• Stick mode: When the machine is turned ON the  
fan will turn ON for a short time and then go off if a  
weld is not started. The fan will continue to run when-  
ever the machine is welding. The fan will turn OFF  
five minutes after the welding is stopped.  
• Electrode to workpiece sticking prevention, even at  
low current values.  
• Spatter reduction.  
• TIG modes: When the machine is turned ON the  
fan is OFF. The fan will turn ON only when a weld  
is started and it will continue to run whenever the  
machine is welding. The fan will turn OFF five min-  
utes after the welding is stopped.  
The welding operations are simplified and the welded  
joints look better, even if not brushed after the welding.  
This feature is available in both the Soft Stick and Crisp  
Stick operating modes. The Crisp Stick feature also  
increases the Hot Start action, facilitating the arc strik-  
ing.  
The following features are also enabled in the stick  
welding modes:  
FIGURE B.2  
• Hot Start: This is a temporary increase in the initial  
welding current. This helps ignite the arc  
quickly and reliably.  
8
• Anti-Sticking: This is a function that decreases the  
output current of the machine to a low  
level when the operator makes an  
error and sticks the electrode to the  
work piece. This decrease in current  
allows the operator to remove the  
electrode from the electrode holder  
without creating large sparks that can  
damage the electrode holder.

INPUT BOARD  
The Input Board includes the following circuits:  
An improper input voltage would be recognized dur-  
ing this time and an input error sent to the Control  
Board. A signal from the Control Board would prevent  
further power-up to prevent damage to the Inverter  
Board.  
- Automatic Reconnect Circuit: This circuit monitors  
the input voltage and automatically reconnects the  
inverter and auxiliary connections to configure the  
machine for either 115V or 230V ac input voltage. The  
proper configuration is achieved through the use of  
board mounted relays. These relays and others that  
activate the Pre-charge circuitry and the fan circuit  
are controlled through signals from a micro-processor  
on the board.  
- The re-connect relays then apply full power from the  
input line (AC1 and AC2) to the Input Rectifier and the  
capacitors are fully charged to approximately  
325VDC. (See the Machine Diagram and PC Board  
Schematics for more information).  
- Auto Reset Fuse: A self reseting fuse circuit (ARFU)  
on the Input Board helps to prevent damage to the  
machine from over-current when in 120VAC opera-  
tion. When the fuse is open, the output will be dis-  
abled and the yellow Temperature LED on the front  
panel will be ON.  
- Switching Power Supply: Supplied by a board  
mounted transformer, the switching power supply  
provides +15 vdc and +5vdc supplies for use on all of  
the PC Boards.  
- Input Rectifier and Precharge Circuit: The Pre-  
charge rectifier and current limiting resistors apply a  
small charge to the filter capacitors when the Power  
Switch is turned ON.

MAIN INVERTER BOARD  
The Inverter Board includes the following circuits:  
- Output Circuit: The output diodes and the output  
choke rectify and filter the current from the secondary  
of the main transformer to make it acceptable for  
welding. The shunt provides the necessary current  
feedback information to the Control Board.  
- Inverter Circuit: Through the use of Insulated Gate  
Bipolar Transistors (IGBTʼs) the high voltage  
(325VDC) input current is switched ON and OFF at a  
frequency of 80KHz and fed to the primary of the  
main transformer. The current is regulated via Pulse  
Width Modulation (PWM). The width of each pulse is  
determined by a Ź»gateʼ signal from the Control Board.  
(See IGBT Operation and Pulse Width Modulation  
in this section).  
Note: The shunt is shown off the board for clarity. It is  
actually mounted on the Inverter Board.  
- Main Transformer: The primary function of the main  
transformer is to reduce the high voltge 80khz output  
to the proper voltage for welding. It also serves to  
insulate the operator from the input line. Additional  
windings of the transformer provide both piamary and  
secondary feeback signals to the PWM control circuit.

CONTROL BOARD  
The Control Board receives status and analogue sig-  
nals from the inverter board, input board and various  
sensors and feeds this information to the Weld  
Controller.  
The Weld Controler also responds to thermal and input  
errors to shut down the machine output. The error  
information is then displayed by the three LEDʼs on the  
front panel.  
The Mode Switch , the Control Potentiometer and the  
three LEDʼs are all mounted on the Control Board.  
The Weld Controller is a micro-processor that uses  
these signals along with input from the Mode Switch  
and the Control Potentiometer to make decisions and  
change the machine mode and output to satisfy the  
requirements as decided by the operator. these  
changes are relayed to the PWM circuit on the Inverter  
Board to regulate the gate signals to the IGBTā€s

TRANSISTOR (IGBT) OPERATION  
An IGBT is a type of transistor. IGBTs are semicon-  
ductors well suited for high frequency switching and  
high current applications.  
Drawing A shows an IGBT in a passive mode. There is  
no gate signal, zero volts relative to the source, and  
therefore, no current flow. The drain terminal of the  
IGBT may be connected to a voltage supply; but since  
there is no conduction the circuit will not supply current  
to components connected to the source. The circuit is  
turned off like a light switch in the OFF position.  
Drawing B shows the IGBT in an active mode. When  
the gate signal, a positive DC voltage relative to the  
source, is applied to the gate terminal of the IGBT, it is  
capable of conducting current. A voltage supply con-  
nected to the drain terminal will allow the IGBT to con-  
duct and supply current to circuit components coupled  
to the source. Current will flow through the conducting  
IGBT to downstream components as long as the posi-  
tive gate signal is present. This is similar to turning ON  
a light switch.

PULSE WIDTH MODULATION  
By holding the gate signals on for 31 microseconds  
and allowing only 2 microseconds of off time during  
the 33 microsecond cycle, the output is maximized.  
The darkened area under the min. curve can be com-  
pared to the darkened area under the max. curve. The  
more darkened area, the more power is present.  
The term PULSE WIDTH MODULATION is used to  
describe how much time is devoted to conduction in  
the cycle. Changing the pulse width is known as  
MODULATION. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is the  
varying of the pulse width over the allowed range of a  
cycle to affect the output of the machine.  
MINIMUM OUTPUT  
By controlling the duration of the gate signal, the IGBT  
is turned on and off for different durations during a  
cycle. The top drawing shows the minimum output  
signal possible over a 33-microsecond time period.  
The shaded portion of the signal represents the IGBT,  
conducting for 2 microseconds. Since only 2  
microseconds of the 33-microsecond time period is  
devoted to conducting, the output power is minimized.

PC BOARD TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES  
- Remove the PC board from the static-shielding bag  
and place it directly into the equipment. Donʼt set the  
PC board on or near paper, plastic or cloth which  
could have a static charge. If the PC board canʼt be  
installed immediately, put it back in the static-shield-  
ing bag.  
WARNING  
ELECTRIC SHOCK  
can kill.  
•
Have an electrician install and  
service this equipment. Turn the  
input power OFF at the fuse box  
before working on equipment. Do  
not touch electrically hot parts.  
- If the PC board uses protective shorting jumpers,  
donʼt remove them until installation is complete.  
- If you return a PC board to The Lincoln Electric  
Company for credit, it must be in the static-shielding  
bag. This will prevent further damage and allow prop-  
er failure analysis.  
CAUTION  
Sometimes machine failures appear to be due to PC  
board failures. These problems can sometimes be  
traced to poor electrical connections. To avoid prob-  
lems when troubleshooting and replacing PC boards,  
please use the following procedure:  
4. Test the machine to determine if the failure  
symptom has been corrected by the  
replacement PC board.  
NOTE: It is desirable to have a spare (known good)  
PC board available for PC board troubleshooting.  
1. Determine to the best of your technical ability  
that the PC board is the most likely component  
causing the failure symptom.  
NOTE: Allow the machine to heat up so that all  
electrical components can reach their operating  
temperature.  
5. Remove the replacement PC board and  
substitute it with the original PC board to  
recreate the original problem.  
2. Check for loose connections at the PC board  
to assure that the PC board is properly  
connected.  
3. If the problem persists, replace the suspect PC  
board using standard practices to avoid static  
electrical damage and electrical shock. Read  
the warning inside the static resistant bag and  
perform the following procedures:  
a. If the original problem does not reappear by  
substituting the original board, then the PC  
board was not the problem. Continue to look  
for bad connections in the control wiring  
harness, junction blocks, and terminal strips.  
b. If the original problem is recreated by the  
substitution of the original board, then the PC  
board was the problem. Reinstall the  
replacement PC board and test the machine.  
PC board can be damaged by static electricity.  
- Remove your bodyʼs static  
charge before opening the static-  
shielding bag. Wear an anti-static  
wrist strap. For safety, use a 1  
Meg ohm resistive cord connected  
6. Always indicate that this procedure was  
followed when warranty reports are to be  
submitted.

equipment frame.  
NOTE: Following this procedure and writing on the  
warranty report, ā€œINSTALLED AND SWITCHED PC  
BOARDS TO VERIFY PROBLEM,ā€ will help avoid  
denial of legitimate PC board warranty claims.  
- If you donʼt have a wrist strap,  
touch an un-painted, grounded,  
part of the equipment frame. Keep  
touching the frame to prevent  
static build-up. Be sure not to  
touch any electrically live parts at  
the same time.

11. Remove and replace the control board.  
Note: When installing the new control board, be sure  
to turn the output potentiometer shaft complete-  
ly counter clockwise prior to fastening knob into  
place. This will assure that the output setting is  
at itʼs lowest setting. This will allow proper install  
ation of the output knob with the red arrow point-  
ing to the lowest setting possible. If this is not  
done properly, the machine output will not match  
the set current.  
6. Using a thin knife blade, remove the red plastic on  
the end of the output knob, See Figure F.14.
