Product Description - Lincoln Electric POWER WAVE S350 CE Operator's Manual

Machine Grounding
The frame of the welder must be grounded. A ground
terminal marked with a ground symbol is located next to
the input power connection block. See your local and
national electrical codes for proper grounding methods.
High Frequency Protection
The EMC classification of the POWER WAVE
is Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) group 2, class
®
A. The POWER WAVE
only (see Electromagnetic Compatibility EMC Safety
Section).
Locate the POWER WAVE
controlled machinery. The normal operation of the
®
POWER WAVE S350 CE may adversely affect the
operation of RF controlled equipment, which may result
in bodily injury or damage to the equipment.
Input Connection
•
4.6m power cord is provided and wired into the
machine.
•
Single Phase Input - Not supported.
•
Three Phase Input - Connect green/yellow lead to
ground per National Electric Code. Connect grey,
brown and black leads to power.
•
The POWER WAVE
adjusts to work with different input voltages. No
reconnect switches settings are required.
WARNING
®
The POWER WAVE S350 CE ON/OFF switch is not
intended as a service disconnect for this equipment.
Power Cord Replacement
If the input power cord is damaged or needs to be
replaced an input power connection block is located in
the access panel under the wire spool.
WARNING
ALWAYS CONNECT
GROUNDING LUG (LOCATED INSIDE THE ACCESS
PANEL) TO A PROPER SAFETY (EARTH) GROUND.
Operation – General
Power-up Sequence
When the POWER WAVE
take as long as 30 seconds for the machine to be ready
to weld. During this time period the user interface will
not be active.

Welding Cables Connections
Connect the electrode and work cables between the
appropriate output studs of the Power Wave S350CE
per the following guidelines:
•
Most welding applications run with the electrode
being positive (+). For those applications, connect
the electrode cable between the wire drive feed
plate and the positive (+) output stud on the power
WAVE
source. Connect a work lead from the negative (-)
power source output stud to the work piece.
•
When negative electrode polarity is required, such
as in some Innershield applications, reverse the
output connections at the power source (electrode
cable to the negative (-) stud, and work cable to the
positive (+) stud). Negative electrode polarity
operation WITHOUT use of a remote work sense
lead requires the Negative Electrode Polarity
attribute to be set.
Voltage Sensing Overview
The Power Wave S350CE has the ability to
automatically sense when remote sense leads are
connected.
With this feature there are no requirements for setting up
the machine to use remote sense leads. This feature
can be disabled through the Weld Manager Utility
(available at www.powerwavesoftware.com) or through
the set up menu (if a user interface is installed into the
power source).
