Note: all stainless steel mounting hardware, laser-cut, and pivot points use stainless steel shoulder bolts. Hardware is guaranteed for the life of the original owner. | This is the basic layout of the credit circuit board and how it initiates the solenoid? It can be used with the original Lincoln-style reed switch if necessary. |
How do the LEDs make you self-sufficient? LED # 2 is GREEN. As long as it is lighted, the PC board has a 12-volt DC supply and a good ground. IT should never go out as long as the machine is running.b) LED #1 is ORANGE. As long as it is lighted, the machine is in “Idle-Down” mode; the solenoid is pulled in, and the machine should be at idle speed.c) LED # 3 is RED As long as it is lit, the solenoid is released, and the machine speed is now controlled by the mechanical governor. When LEDs #1 and #3 turn off, the idle board has sensed a weld demand; the solenoid has released, and the machine should be running at weld speed. When welding or auxiliary power is no longer required, a fifteen-second delay occurs. The board switches from high speed to idle speed, When welding or auxiliary power is no longer required, a fifteen-second delay occurs. The PC board pulls in the solenoid, and the machine returns to idle speed; the RED LED turns off, and the ORANGE LED turns on. |
