POWER WAVE® TO SEMI-AUTOMATIC
POWER FEED WIRE FEEDER INTERCON-
NECTIONS
The POWER WAVE® 405M and semi-automatic
Power Feed family communicate via a 5 conductor
control cable (K1543). The control cable consists of
two power leads, one twisted pair for digital communi-
cation, and one lead for voltage sensing. The cables
are designed to be connected end to end for ease of
extension. The output receptacle on the POWER
WAVE® 405M is on the case front. The input recepta-
cle on the Power Feed is typically located at the back
of the feeder, or on the bottom of the user interface.
Due to the flexibility of the platform the configuration
may vary. The following is a general description of the
system. For specific configuration information, consult
the semi-automatic Power Feed instruction manual.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The POWER WAVE® 405M and Power Feed M family of
products utilize a digital communication system called
ArcLink. Simply put, ArcLink allows large amounts of
information to be passed at very high speeds between
components (nodes) in the system. The system requires
only two wires for communication, and because of its
bus-like structure, the components may be connected to
the network in any order, thus simplifying the system set-
up.
Each "system" must contain only one power source.
The number of wire feeders is determined by the type
of wire feeder. Refer to the wire feeder instruction
manual for details
