I had a few Maxtrons back in the day.... They were “old” and not supported by Miller when I took possession in 2003 !
So new boards are only going to be gotten by cannibalism or some weld supply place with a dusty 20 year old extra sitting in a dark corner.
Good clean CC/CV power supply.... Painfully difficult to program pulse waveforms. Without the help if Bill Behnke I would have given up.
I think trying to find a way to bypass the error (if it shuts down the unit) or ignore it if it doesn’t.
There may be an old dinosaur engineer at Miller who could solve your issue and offer instructions to get past the fault.
Before that.... get the part/code numbers for the thing and download the specific operator manual... it may have a gold nugget.
Maxtron is shockingly good for open root SMAW....
