Error codes

In error situations, the control panel displays the number and title of the error. The X5 Wire Feeder 300 AP/APC control panel also shows the possible cause and a proposed action to fix the issue.

Error
Code Title Possible cause Proposed action
1 Power source not calibrated Power source calibration has been lost. Restart the power source. If problem persists, contact Kemppi service.
2 Too low mains voltage Voltage in mains network is too low. Restart the power source. If problem persists, contact Kemppi service.
3 Too high mains voltage Voltage in mains network is too high. Restart the power source. If problem persists, contact Kemppi service.
4 Power source is overheated Too long welding session with high power. Do not shut down, let the fans cool the machine. If fans are not running, contact Kemppi service
5 Internal 24V voltage is too low Power source contains an inoperative 24V power supply unit . Restart the power source. If problem persists, contact Kemppi service.
7 Wire feeder not found Wire feeder is not connected to power source or connection is faulty. Check the control cable and its connectors.
8 Initialization error in FPGA card Control card is faulty or software fails in power source. Restart the power source. If problem persists, contact Kemppi service.
9 Measurement cable failure Voltage sensing cable is not connected to the work piece or measurement cable connection is faulty. Connect voltage sensing cable to the work piece and check the measurement cable and its connectors.
11 FET unit failure Power source contains an inoperative FET unit. Restart the power source. If problem persists, contact Kemppi service.
12 Welding cable failure Plus and minus cables are connected together. Check the connections of welding cable and earth return cable.
13 IGBT overcurrent Inoperative mains transformer in power source. Restart the power source. If problem persists, contact Kemppi service.
14 IGBT overheated Too long welding session with high power or high ambient temperature. Do not shut down, let the fans cool the machine. If fans are not running, contact Kemppi service.
17 Phase is missing from mains supply One or more phases are missing from the mains supply. Check the mains cable and its connectors. Check the voltage of mains supply.
20 Power source cooling failure Cooling capacity is reduced in the power source. Clean the filters and clear any dirt from the cooling channel. Check that the cooling fans are running. If not, contact Kemppi service.
24 Cooling liquid overheated Too long welding session with high power or high ambient temperature. Do not turn off the cooler. Let the liquid circulate until the fans cool it down. If fans are not running, contact Kemppi service.
26 Cooling liquid not circulating No cooling liquid or circulation is blocked. Check the liquid level in the cooler. Check hoses and connectors for blockage.
27 Cooler not found Cooling is turned on in the settings menu, but cooler is not connected to power source or cabling is faulty. Check the cooler connections. Ensure that the cooling is turned off in the settings menu, if the cooler is not in use.
33 Welding cable calibration failure Welding cable calibration failed. Check the welding system cables and their connections.
40 VRD error Open circuit voltage exceeds the VRD limit. Restart the power source. If problem persists, contact Kemppi service.
42 High current in wire feeder motor There may be too much pressure in the wire feed rolls or dirt in the wire line. Adjust the feed roll pressure. Clean the wire line. Change worn parts in the welding gun.
43 Overcurrent in wire feeder motor There may be too much pressure in the wire feed rolls or dirt in the wire line. Adjust the feed roll pressure. Clean the wire line. Change worn parts in the welding gun.
44 Wire speed measurement is missing Faulty sensor or wiring in wire feeder. Restart the welding system. If problem persists, contact Kemppi service.
50 License error License for the selected feature is missing. To continue using the feature, please install the license.
61 Operation not allowed Subfeeder is connected, but it has not been selected in the system settings. Go to the system settings menu on the control panel and select your subfeeder model and type.
62 Power source not found No power source is connected to the wire feeder, or connection is faulty. Check the control cable and its connectors.
64 Robot control device lost Wire feeder lost connection to the robot control device. Check the robot control device and interconnection cables. If problem persists, contact Kemppi service.
65 Subfeeder not allowed Use of subfeeder is not allowed with selected welding process. Remove the subfeeder or change the welding process.
81 Welding program data missing Welding program data has been lost. Restart the power source. If problem persists, contact Kemppi service.
103 Empty memory channel Robot tried to start welding using a nonexistent memory channel. Check the memory channel selected by the robot.
132 Robot not responding There is a communication problem between robot and the RCM. Check fieldbus cabling, connectors and the fieldbus module.
238 Power source serial number is missing Communication to serial number card failed. Restart welding system. If problem persists, contact Kemppi service.
244 Internal memory failure Initialization failed (%sub:%device). Restart welding system. If problem persists, contact Kemppi service.
245 Demo time left: %min min When the demo time expires, the features without a license cannot be used anymore. To continue using the optional features, you must buy licenses for them.
246 Demo time has expired Features without a license cannot be used anymore. To continue using the optional features, you must buy licenses for them.
250 Internal memory failure Memory communication failed (%sub:%device). Restart welding system. If problem persists, contact Kemppi service.
