Hi everyone, yep, its a BOC Autolynx and ever since Ive had it its not worked, it turns on, buzzes, wire feed works fine, no arc at the torch.
Ive taken some photos as the board seems fine, but the top left relay does nothing, its not a loose wire going to the torch as ive tested it at the supply.
When I squeeze the middle relay clicks, (but not the big contactor), when I push the button on the front to equalise the needle on the gauge, the needle does nothing but I do get 27 volts going to the torch and the contactor clicks into action. (what I mean by contactor is the big black electro-solenoid thingy). The needle does nothing.
I've cleaned the board with electrical spray and still nothing.
I bought it for not alot, and if its knackered there could be bits for coggy, but I love fixing old stuff and using it, so any ideas? Thanks, Mat
The suspect relay coil seems ok it has resistance, but I havent put 24 volts across it yet, what does it do anyway?
