DUTY CYCLE AND ERROR CODES

This Multi-Process welder features a self-diagnosing feature, which will display an error and a numeric error

code that corresponds to a known fault or error, when a problem has occurred.

This unit has a duty cycle rating of 60% @ 250 Amps while welding in MIG and TIG mode. The duty cycle

rating for stick is 60% @ 200 Amps. The duty cycle rating is the amount of time (expressed as a percent-

age) out of 10 minutes the unit can weld without a rest at 40 C. Increases or decreases in temperature, hu-

midity and air flow around the unit can change the stated duty cycle. If temperature is lowered, duty cycle

generally increases.

In MIG mode, the unit is capable of welding 6 minutes out of every 10 minutes at the maximum output of

250 Amps. For the balance of the 10 minute period, the unit should be allowed to rest and cool while run-

ning. The same rating applies to TIG. Stick is also rated for a 6 out of 10 minute welding period but at the

maximum of 200 Amps output. If the unit’s duty cycle has been exceeded, the “Over Temperature” will be

displayed and welding output will cease. If the unit has over heated and triggered the duty-cycle “Over Tem-

perature” warning, allow the unit to run and cool for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes of cooling while the unit

is kept running, cycle the power switch to reset the unit if it has not already reset automatically.

In the event of an overcurrent, the welding output will cease and an Warning screen will be displayed. In

duty cycle and overcurrent events, the wire may continue to feed without welding output. Overcurrent events

can be caused by too low of supply voltage, running on undersized extension cords, too large of wire diame-

ter, or internal or external electrical fault. When an overcurrent has occurred, turn the machine off immedi-

ately, then check and remedy the fault before cycling the welder back on. If the error does not clear after

cycling, cease operation and call Everlast Technical Support. When the “Overcurrent Warning” screen ap-

pears, the overcurrent has likely caused an internal fault. This is usually a result of a poor power supply, a

long extension cable, or from running off of a generator that is malfunctioning.

General Product and Use Information

NOTICE:

If the unit screen goes blank and stops feeding wire while welding, this is probably a blown fuse. This is a

10A fast-blow glass fuse, which is located on the rear of the machine. This typically happens when rapid or

extended tacking or hole lling is occurring with a long wire stick out. Replacements may be bought locally.

Do not attempt to use any other type fuse including higher amp fuses or it may damage the unit. The com-

mon designation/part number for this fuse is F10AL. Contact Everlast if the fuse continues to blow.

HELPFUL HINT:

Keep the clear protective cover lowered during operation to prevent damage to the LCD screen from sparks

and dust. For further protection, purchase a customizable (one-size-ts-all) cell phone screen protector.

Trim the cover to t the screen and apply it to the display. Replace the cover when it becomes scratched or

dirty. Use only a soft cloth designed for computer screen cleaning to clean the display screen. This will

help prevent damage to the LCD screen, and ensure years of reliable performance from the display.
