Anyone help with a fault on my murex tradesmarc 181 please! (WITH PHOTOS!)
The welder will not strike at all, when you turn it on the fan runs and the wire feed works but the wire will not become live, there are two lights on the front panel one white one orange, neither are on. I've checked basic stuff like the earth strap and have changed the lacnce with a known to be working one from another murex and still no joy unfortunatly...im fairly handy with a multimeter until it gets into the electronic side of things on the pcb....i could pick my way through tesing resistance on the transformers but wouldnt be sure what values I should be obtaining.
The wire speed and the spot welding setting knobs seem to be working fine as they are cutting the wire feed for different time periods etc.
Any help would be massivly appreciated!
Regards,
Mike
Just a bit of sucking up, this looks like a very helpfull forum! I hope to be using this a lot in the future...especially if I can get my welder working again!
