POWER FEED CONTROL BOX
MOUNTING
In some installations, it may be desirable to mount the
Wire Feeder control box directly to the front of the
Power Wave power source. (The control box is the
box containing the knobs, switches and displays nec-
essary to control the Power Wave / Power Feed weld-
ing system.) Complete details for separating the con-
trol box from the wire drive are contained in the Power
Feed Instruction Manual. Once separated, mounting
instructions are as follows:
1. Disconnect the input power from the Power Wave.
2. Separate the control box from the wire drive on the
Power Feed wire feeder, and remove the control
panels (see the Power Feed Instruction Manual for
details).
3. Remove the front nameplate from the Power Wave
by removing six screws from the metal nameplate.
Save the screws for re-use.
4. Connect the 6-pin connector that comes out the
back of the control box to the 6-pin receptacle that
is tie-wrapped to the harnessing inside the rectan-
gular opening in the power source. It will be nec-
essary to remove one or two of the wire ties in
order to give enough slack to the power source
connector and leads.
5. Position the control box over the rectangular hole
in the Power Wave case front, being careful not to
pinch any leads between the control box and the
case front. Align the four holes in the back of the
control box with the four threaded mounting holes
in the case front. Secure the control box in place
with four of the screws saved from the previous
step.
6. Reassemble the control box.
The Power Feed Wire Drive can now be connected to
the power source wire feeder connector. This con-
nector is located under the spring loaded output
cover, near the bottom of the case front. The control
cable is keyed and polarized, so it can be installed in
only one way. (To ensure proper electrode voltage
sensing, always connect the Wire Drive to the Power
Source wire feeder connector. Do not connect it to
the optional Output Receptacle which may be present
on the Power Feed Control Box.)
