SPECIALIZED PERSONNEL MUST CARRY OUT ANY WORK ON THE EQUIPMENT.
BOTH AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF A REPAIR CHECK THE EQUIPMENT INSULATION
LEVELS. DISCONNECT THE ELECTRONIC BOARDS WHEN MEASURING THE INSULATION.
BLOW THE INSIDE OF THE EQUIPMENT WITH COMPRESSED AIR.
The insulation-measuring device will have 500 V D.C. and will be applied to the following points
of the circuit:
- Supply-Earth: Ra > 50 MOhm.
- Welding-Earth: Ra > 50 MOhm.
- Supply-Welding: Ra > 50 MOhm.
BEFORE TURNING THE EQUIPMENT ON, ENSURE THAT IT IS OFF LOAD.
DO NOT OPERATE THE ON/OFF SWITCH WITH AN ELECTRICAL LOAD
SMART 160 MMA
The machine has no voltage in one or
all its vital elements.
Incorrect supply voltage.
ON/OFF switch faulty.
Front panel connector weak or loose.

gauge for the case. There may be a
short circuit, which is what causes the
limiter to trip.
Loose metal casing.
Defective electrical connections.
Damaged or poorly attached fan.
Active protection system. Amber light
(D) on.
Excessive welding intensity for a
certain electrode.
Use of reverse polarity.
Lack of protection gas.
The equipment is positioned so that it
prevents correct ventilation.
The fan does not work.
The equipment is located in a very hot
environment.
There is a loose connection inside the
equipment.
CONNECTED TO THE WELDING CONNECTORS.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Make sure there is voltage at the entry to the
machine, if not the tapping must be changed or
the supply hose repaired. It is advisable to see if
any magnetothermal has "blown".
Check supply voltage.
Replace ON/OFF switch.
Fit correctly the front panel connector.
has
low
Change the magnetothermal for another larger
gauge one. In the event that the electrical
installation has limited power the welding work
must be tested at lower current levels.
Review and screw casing.
Correctly tighten the connections.
Examine the fan.
Equipment overheated, wait until the equipment
cools down.
Supply voltage outside rated margin. Change
supply tap.
Decrease welding current or change electrode
for one with larger diameter.
Place electrode to negative pole.
Regulate at an appropriate flow.
Place the equipment in an area where the air is
constantly replaced.
Replace the fan.
Avoid positioning where there is direct exposure
to the sun.
Review the power electrical connections.
