BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.

  • Page 3: Electric Shock Can Kill

    ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. 3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.
  • Page 4 WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion. 6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

  • Page 14: Cable Inductance, And Its Effects On Pulse Welding

    Depending upon the process, inductance within the electrode and work lead cables can influence the apparent voltage at the studs of the welder. Voltage sense leads improve the accuracy of the arc conditions and can have a dramatic effect on performance.

  • Page 16: Configuring The System

    If a system can not be “Auto Mapped” then the status light on the power source will blink green fast and the welder output will be disabled. If a system is not “Auto-mappable”, then consult the instruction manual for the accessory being used for configuration infor- mation about DIP switch settings, or consult your local Lincoln sales representative.

    WELDING WITH MULTIPLE POWER WAVES CAUTION Special care must be taken when more than one Power Wave is welding simultaneously on a single part. Arc blow and arc interference may occur or be magnified. Each power source requires a work lead from the work stud to the welding fixture.

  • Page 23: Definition Of Welding Terms

    DEFINITION OF WELDING TERMS NON-SYNERGIC WELDING MODES • A Non-synergic welding mode requires all welding process variables to be set by the operator. SYNERGIC WELDING MODES • A Synergic welding mode offers the simplicity of single knob control. The machine will select the cor- rect voltage and amperage based on the wire feed speed (WFS) set by the operator.

  • Page 24: General Description

    GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Power Wave 455M (CE) semi-automatic power source is designed to be a part of a modular, multi- process welding system. Depending on configuration, it can support constant current, constant voltage, and pulse welding modes. The Power Wave 455M (CE) power source is designed to be used with the semi automatic family of Power Feed wire feeders, operating as a system.

  • Page 25: Case Front Controls

    CASE FRONT CONTROLS All operator controls and adjustments are located on the case front of the Power Wave 455m (CE). (See Figure B.1) 1. POWER SWITCH: Controls input power to the Power Wave. 2. STATUS LIGHT: A two color light that indicates system errors.

  • Page 26: Nominal Procedures

    (CE) encompasses a wide range of common process- es and will meet most needs. If a special welding pro- gram is desired, contact the local Lincoln Electric sales representative. To make a weld, the Power Wave needs to know the desired welding parameters.

  • Page 27: Constant Voltage Welding

    • WELDING MODE May be selected by name (CV/MIG, CC/Stick Crisp, Gouge, etc.) or by a mode number (10, 24, 71, etc.) depending on the Control Box options. Selecting a welding mode determines the output characteristics of the Power Wave power source. For a more complete description of the welding modes available in the Power Wave, see the explanation below.

  • Page 28: Pulse Welding

    PULSE WELDING Pulse welding procedures are set by controlling an overall "arc length" variable. When pulse welding, the arc voltage is highly dependent upon the waveform. The peak current, back ground current, rise time, fall time and pulse frequency all affect the voltage. The exact voltage for a given wire feed speed can only be predicted when all the pulsing waveform parameters are known.

  • Page 30: Maintenance

    Generally speaking the machine calibration will not need adjustment. However, if the weld performance changes, or the yearly calibration check reveals a problem, contact the Lincoln Electric Company for the calibration software utility. The calibration procedure itself requires the use of a resistive load bank, and certified actual meters for volt- age and current.

  • Page 31: How To Use Troubleshooting Guide

    HOW TO USE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Service and Repair should only be performed by Lincoln Electric Factory Trained Personnel. Unauthorized repairs performed on this equipment may result in danger to the technician and machine operator and will invalidate your factory warranty. For your safety and to avoid Electrical Shock, please observe all safety notes and precautions detailed throughout this manual.

  • Page 32: Using The Status Led To Troubleshoot System Problems

    USING THE STATUS LED TO TROUBLESHOOT SYSTEM PROBLEMS The Power Wave / Power Feed are best diagnosed as a system. Each component (power source, user inter- face, and feed head) has a status light, and when a problem occurs it is important to note the condition of each.

    Observe all Safety Guidelines detailed throughout this manual ERROR CODES FOR THE POWER WAVE The following is a list of possible error codes that the Power Wave 455M (CE) can output via the status light (see "Troubleshooting the Power Wave / Power Feed System Using the Status LED." If connected to a PF-10/11 these error codes will generally be accompanied by an "Err 006"...
