EXTERNAL TRIGGERING CIRCUIT The Power Wave 450 Robotic may be triggered inde- pendent of the robot using the following circuit and pro- cedure. 1. Remove the large connector plug on the rear of the PW450. (As viewed from the front of the machine). 2.
ROBOTIC INTERFACE P.C. BOARD CALIBRATION Position Interface board on top of the power wave so that the component side is up. Make certain a non-con- ductive insulating material is protecting the control board from touching any conductive surface. Locate the J109 receptacle.
TEST PROCEDURE AFTER REPAIR The following five steps should be completed after examining and or repairing a Power Wave 450R. These steps will insure that all aspects and systems of the Power Wave are functioning. This procedure does not include fan operation, or proper water cooler operation, both of which are industry standard systems not requiring specific technical interpretation.
