Warning and error indicators

These warning and error indicators are located in the top-right corner of the X3 control panel display.

Indicator symbol definitions:

Warning: This symbol indicates an error or fault that requires attention, but doesn't prevent welding
Error: This symbol indicates an error or fault that prevents welding and require immediate action
Error or fault with power source
Error or fault with wire feeder
Error or fault with cooling unit
Overheating error
Error (error code is shown together with this text)
Voltage reduction device (VRD) error (blinking)*
Voltage reduction device (VRD) is on*

* The voltage reduction device (VRD) function is used with MMA and Gouging modes only, and only if the function is enabled on the welding equipment. For more information, refer to Voltage reduction device (VRD).

If the power source overheats, a thermal cutoff switches the unit off and does not allow it to be used until it has cooled down.
If the coolant liquid overheats, a thermal cutoff switches the welding system off and does not allow it to be used until the coolant liquid has cooled down.
If the circulation of the coolant liquid is obstructed, a thermal cutoff switches the welding system off. Check and fix the error before using the welding system again.
