Matt what does e16 fault code mean just out of interest.

The contact tip/electrode is touching the ground when the machine is switched on. Its to do with the VRD protection inside the machine there mustnt be a circuit when switched on.

When i switch on my T220, if the tungsten is touching the earth it gives an E-25 error.

It seems the machine can throw either error. The e16 one is to do with the VRD too somehow.
I also get the E-25 error if tungsten is touching the earth
