ERROR CODES
!!
WARNING!
Bus voltage of 400 V DC will be present on the heatsinks of the main power board
while unit is on. Wait 40 seconds after removing power before handling.
Error code fault isolation
This section is for solving error codes appearing at power-up.
Faults resulting from user interaction or only during welding can be isolated using procedures found in other sections
identied below.
ERR 001 - TEMPERATURE FAULT
This section is to isolate a false digital temperature fault. This fault monitors the PFC heatsink, main Inverter heatsink and
main transformer.
Make sure that the system has at least 1 hour in un-powered state to cool down before following these instructions.
A. With power applied, measure with DVMM the voltage between Control Board 20AP1 CN19 pins 6 and 4 (ground).
If voltage is less than 0.25 V DC replace Control Board 20AP1; otherwise go to Step B.
B. (Hint: To prevent pin damage, use at screwdriver to evenly remove wide Control Board 20AP1 connectors).
Remove AC Mains power, remove Control Board 20AP1, and disconnect 15AP1 CN7 from Main Power board
(PCB2/15AP1). Measure resistance across CN7 plug. If it is not ~10K ohms, inspect plug connection or replace Mains
Transformer T1, refer section "Main transformer - T1" on page 28; If measurement is ~10K ohms, go to Step C.
C. Inspect Control 20AP1 CN19 cable assembly and measure resistance for continuity between pin 6 of each end of
the cable, it should be ~0 ohms; If cable reads 0 ohms, inspect for dust or replace faulty 15AP1 Main Power board
(PCB2/15AP1); Otherwise repair/replace the Cable.
ERR 002 - TEMPERATURE FAULT
This section is to isolate a false output diode temperature fault.
Make sure that the system has at least 1 hour in un-powered state to cool down before following these instructions
A. With power applied, measure with DVMM at 20AP1 Control board CN19 pin 3 to pin 4 (Ground). If DC voltage
measurement is between 1.0 - 2.0 Vdc, then replace 20AP1 Control PCB; otherwise go to Step B.
B. Turn o power, unplug Rebel from AC mains power, disconnect CN14 from 20AP1 Control Board, measure resistance
across CN3 connector leads pin 3 and pin 4 on 15AP3 AC/DC Board. Please refer image below for measurement.

If measured value is 10K +/- 2K ohms at 25 °C ambient, then there is a cable issue, go to Step C.
If measured value is not 10K +/- 2K, replace 15AP3 AC/DC Board.
C. Measure continuity between 15AP3 CN3 PCBA connector leads on the PCB and 20AP1 CN14 connector plug pins
3 and pin 4. If the continuity is bad or intermittent, inspect wire harness #14739 for damage and replace it.
ERR 003 - SYSTEM LOCKED POWER FAULT
This section is to isolate a persistent low voltage fault at power up when the unit is in standby or idle mode. This fault can
temporarily happen under heavy load conditions, in which case, is a warning that the 400 V DC bus voltage has momen-
tarily gone below 350 V DC due to input mains voltage sag caused by low AC input voltage, long line length or thin gauge
extension cords, causing a excessive voltage drop before reaching the Rebel. For the service personnel having this fault
continuously at power up follow the below procedure.
A. Caution High Voltage Measurement: With power applied, measure on 15AP1 with DVMM the DC voltage between
heat sink terminal at D50 and R88 resistor lead. See"Figure 2. DC BUS Voltage Test Point on Power Board" on page
8. If voltage measured is 400 V DC +/- 10V go to Step B, if not go to section MACHINE DOES NOT POWER UP, (6)
IPS CHECK.
B. With power applied, measure at Control Board 20AP1 CN19 pin 5 w.r.t. pin 4 (Gnd). If the DC voltage is less than
0.25V and the fault Error 4 persist, replace Control Board 20AP1; otherwise go to Step C.
C. (Hint: To prevent pin damage, use at screwdriver to evenly remove wide Control Board 20AP1 connectors). Remove
AC Mains power, remove Control Board 20AP1. With 20AP1 removed, check continuity of pins 4 and 5 end-to-end
across cable assembly #14737. If cable continuity is good, replace 15AP1 Main Power board (PCB2/15AP1) otherwise
repair/replace cable assembly.

ERR 004 - SYSTEM LOCKED VRD FAULT
This section isolates failure of output (OKC) voltage being too high when VRD is enabled. It applies to Australia Models only.
VRD indication in MMA mode on other models indicate improper dip switch settings. Please see "Figure 3. Control Board
SW2 Positions" on page 9 for proper switch positions for non-Australian models and Australian models.
A. Check proper switch position (SW2), check latest software is loaded.
B. If Step A checks out OK, then replace 20AP1 Control Board.
Figure 3. Control Board SW2 Positions
ERR 005 - PS LOCAL FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED
This section isolates Low Voltage of Internal Power Supply, IPS Error. This error code gets set when the 24 V DC supply is less
than 22.5 V DC. This can happen from overload from a faulty peripheral, PCBA or wire feeder.
A. With power applied, measure with a DVMM 20AP1 CN2 between pins 1 and pins 7. If 23-24 V DC is present replace
20AP1 Control PCB. Otherwise go to step B.
B. Turn o power, disconnect the following 20AP1 connectors; CN7, CN9, CN10, CN11, CN13, CN14. Reapply power, if
the fault clears restore connectors one at a time to isolate bad subassembly (fan, solenoid, motor, etc). Otherwise
go to Step C.
C. Turn o power, remove 20AP1 CN17 and CN19 of the Control PCB. Reapply power, if the fault clears replace 20AP1
Control Board; otherwise go to Step D.
D. Turn o power, remove 20AP1 CN2 of the Control PCB. Reapply power, measure the voltage of plug sourcing 20AP1
CN2 between pins 1 and 7. If the voltage is not ~24 V DC replace 15AP2 IPS Board. Otherwise replace 20AP1 Control
Board.
ERR 006 - SET PCBA-20AP1 SW2.2 ON
This section isolates VRD Conguration Error. This Error happens when the VRD enable switch 20AP1 S2.1 is enabled but
VRD Capability switch 20AP1 S2.2 is disabled. Please see "Figure 3. Control Board SW2 Positions" on page 9, for proper
switch positions of S2 for non-VRD use.
A. Check proper switch position (all o for non-Australian models), exercise the switch leaving in proper position,
check latest software is loaded.
B. If Step A checks good, replace 15AP1 Control Board.

ERR 008 - VOLTAGE FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED
This error occurs when the OCK terminal voltage is not properly sensed when a voltage is expected to be present, for instance
when in MMA mode and the output is enabled. It takes 10 continuous second of no output to trip this fault. First attempt
a software update to the latest version before troubleshooting this fault.
A. Apply power, place unit in MMA mode, observe D33 on 20AP1 Control Board (PCB3/20AP1) while enabling the out-
put. Verify the green LED ashes bright momentarily and remains on dimly. If the LED ashes or stays on brightly
go to Step B. If the LED does not ash replace 20AP1 Control Board.
B. With MMA enabled, measure the across OKC +/- terminals. If the voltage is greater than 50 V DC remove AC power
with SW1 and perform the following continuity cable checks: If voltage is ~0 V DC go to section 'NO WELD OUTPUT',
step 9 to 13.
Check continuity of cable connection at PCB3/20AP1 CN1 pin 1 to XS1 (OKC+).
Check continuity of cable connection at PCB3/20AP1 CN1 pin 2 to 15AP3 TP39.
Check continuity of cable connection at 20AP1 CN15 pin 1 to XS2 (OKC-).
If any are not ~0 ohms repair/replace cable assembly.
If the cables connections are good replace Control Board (PCB3/20AP1).
ERR 009 - LOW INPUT
This section isolates persistent Low Voltage Error. AC Mains voltage is monitored at the Control Board. This fault can tem-
porarily appear under heavy load conditions, in which case, this is a warning and not a failure. Weld performance is aected
by AC input voltage droop. Long input power cords can result in signicant voltage drop when under heavy output loads.
For service personnel having this fault continuously, and at power up, follow the below procedure.
A. Apply power and check AC voltage at 20AP1 CN19 across pin 10 and pin11 for:
When connected to 120 V AC check monitor voltage of 7.85 AC Vrms +/-0.4V.
When connected to 230 V AC check monitor voltage of 15.0 AC Vrms +/-0.75V.
The conversion factor is (AC Vrms IN/15.25).
If the voltage is correct, replace the 20AP1 Control PCB; otherwise go to step B.
B. Turn o power, disconnect from wall outlet, and remove PCB3/20AP1 Control Board. Check continuity of cable
assembly #14028 end-to-end of pins 10 and 11.
Repair/Replace if cable is faulty.
If cable is good replace Power board (PCB2/15AP1).
ERR 010 - Reserved
ERR 011 - DEFAULT RESET UNCONFIRMED
This error happens when the 20AP1 does not report it has applied factory default values to software. It is extremely rare to
have this fault and dicult to isolate to component. Perform the following steps in the event of this error.
A. Power up system navigate to the setup menu.
B. Attempt perform a factory reset.
If the error message continues to appear, attempt a full software update to the latest version and repeat Steps A and B.
C. If step B does not clear the issue, replace 20AP1 Control PCB. Update to the latest software and repeat Step A and B.
D. If step C does not correct the fault replace 1AP1 User Interface Board.

• Due to variations that can occur in manufactured products, claimed performance, voltages, ratings, all capabilities,
measurements, dimensions and weights quoted are approximate only. Achievable capacities and ratings in use and
operation will depend upon correct installation, use, applications, maintenance and service.
• The Eective Input Current should be used for the determination of cable size and supply requirements.
• Motor start fuses, or thermal circuit breakers are recommended for this application. Check local requirements for your
situation in this regard.
• Generator Requirements at the Maximum Output Cycle.
• Due to large variations in performance and specications of dierent brands and types of generators, ESAB cannot
guarantee full welding output power or duty cycle on every brand or type of generator. ESAB recommends that when
selecting a generator, that the power source/generator combination be adequately tested to ensure the combination
performs to the user’s expectations without notice.

local partner login site at:
www.esab.com
Figure 4. ESAB Partner Login Software Download Location
Who have access to the Software-download?
Everyone that already have access to regional partner login and are an authorized service partner.
If I can’t see the Software-download link or don’t have access to partner login?
Please contact your local Service coordinator/After-sales Manager for help.
When Rebel 205ic machine software is updated using Rebel Service Tool it reads the calibration data and restores after the
software update. Rebel 205ic machine requires three software les for full system software update. Use the instruction
manual located on ESAB Portal website for service tool for the variant software les location and instructions for updating
the software and system calibration.
Voltage, WFS and Current Calibration: Calibration of Voltage, WFS and Current is done when replacing 20AP1/PCB3, Wire
Feed Motor or Current Sensor respectively.
Equipment needed:
• Digital Multi-Meter (DMM)
• Tachometer
• Load Bank
• Plastic adjustment tool
After the calibration, recycle power to the rebel machine to apply new calibration parameters and also save the calibration
data onto permanent memory.

Design structure of the power supply circuit
The EMP 205ic AC/DC power source operates on the inverter principle. It consists of several function modules.
The modules have the following main functions:
• User interface module - The user interface is a 4.3-inch TFT (Thin Film Transistor) display with 3 encoders attached to it.
• Power module - Power board includes primary rectier, PFC section, auxiliary power supply, full bridge inverter. Main
transformer, secondary inductor and secondary diode modules are physically mounted separately but function with the
power module. The power board also contains torch trigger isolation circuitry.
• Control module - The control board, with a microprocessor, that monitors and controls the welding process.
• AC/DC inverter module – This module includes output diode section, full bridge converter, IPS section for AC/DC module
and converts DC current to AC current.
• IPS Module – This module generates power for housekeeping and wire feeder motor.
• HF Stareter module – This module generates high voltage with help of HF Transformer.
• Main switch (this is connected to enclosure).
Block diagram
The primary rectier, recties the input AC voltage. Main PFC section boosts this voltage to 400 V DC with a 0.99 power factor.
The main inverter of the power source is a 4-transistor IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) full bridge, operating at a
switching frequency of 47 kHz.
The primary inverter output is connected to a main transformer with 18:4 step-down turns ratio.
The main transformer output is connected to a secondary rectier which contains four diode modules.
