applied to coil .
4 . Check PC Board .
5 . Check HFTR Transformer
1 . Check input gas pressure .
2 . Check gas flow of PT-26 . Check to be
sure consumables are good and prop-
NO
erly in place .
3 . Check torch switch for intermittent con-
nection .
4 . If using PT-26, check jumper between
pin 4 and 5 .

MaINTeNaNce
1 . Check open circuit voltage .
Should be about 370 VDC . (Dis-
connect HF to avoid damaging
meter .)
NO
2 . Check input power .
3 . Check MC contactor .
4 . Check diodes and SCR's .
5 . Check PC board .
1 . Check consumables in torch .
2 . Check torch connections using
ohmmeter .
3 . Check open circuit voltage (325
VDC) . (Disconnect HF to avoid
NO
damaging meter .)
4 . Check HF at spark gaps . (ISW
switch must be closed when
performing check .) May have to
reset spark gap .
5 . Check PAC contactor .
6 . Check R20 and R21 resistors .
1 . Check work lead connection .
2 . Check consumables in torch .
3 . Check for proper nozzle and
current . At low currents, the arc
NO
length has to be closer to work .
4 . Check all input voltages between
lines .
5 . Check open circuit voltage .
6 . Check diodes and SCR's .
7 . Check PC board .
