Tig welder wont arc!

Hi Adam, according to the similar Smootharc TIG 185 manual, it is overcurrent indicator.

Cheers for the reply Mike.

Would make sense and does look similar. If this is the case I think the next best move is to have it looked at by a technician.

Thanks

Good luck Adam

I have a similar manual from another boc welder.

The light and sign that is come on is ‘Collective Interference’. It mentions that;

If the collective interference signal light is on, the power unit is automatically
switched off. Because some interference is short-term and one-off (e.g. mains
voltage surges), the signal light will go out again and the welding machine is
ready for welding. If the collective interference signal light continues to be on
after an appropriate waiting time, see the chapter on troubleshooting

Maybe running through 10amp is triggering something in the machine.. anyone had any problems with this before?

Thank you
