Hey All,
I have a little problem with my Syncro 200 and its brand new...
First thing is the Cycle counter. Every 100 cycles it resets to zero and begins counting up to 100 again. The hour timer displays 5 and some hours of welding and the cycle timer should read about 600 arc strikes. anyone else noticed this? Check it out, maybe your machine has a defective counter too.
if you are familiar with the machine you can acces this info by turning the machine on while holding the process and pulse feature buttons in for 7 seconds.
The other problem I seem to be having is with the pusle feature. It doesnt matter where I set it, but if I use this feature while welding aluminum, all my welds come out with pepper on them. The amps seems to go way down too if I use this feature and I usually have to crank the heat in order to get the metal to melt. This doesnt seem right to me. Anyone have an idea what I may be doing wrong ? Isthis normal welding process?
If I dont use the pusle feature, my weldments look really nice. There is very little frosting (etch zone), they're nice and shiny (almost like a professional did them!), and penetration is adequate. If anyone could help me out here , I'd be greatful. I am beginning to think that my machine may be a lemon and in that case I need to get one that works as it should.
Thanks all. Rich.
