equipment is designed and built
with safety in mind. However, your
overall safety can be increased by
proper installation ... and thought-
ful operation on your part.
And, most
importantly, think before you act
and be careful.

A Free copy of “Arc Welding Safety” booklet E205 is available from the Lincoln Electric Company, 22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199. BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS. - Page 3 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 10: Lifting
Dirt, dust, or any foreign mater- ial that can be drawn into the welder should be kept at a minimum. Do not use air filters on the air intake because the air flow will be restricted. -
Page 11: Input Fuse And Supply Wire Considerations
If the lead is placed in a position higher than the applied line voltage, the welder may not come on at all. If the Auxiliary (A) lead is placed in a position lower than the applied line volt- age, the welder will not come on, and the two circuit breakers or fuses in the reconnect area will open. -
Page 12: Cable Inductance, And Its Effects On Pulse Welding
Depending upon the process, inductance within the electrode and work lead cables can influence the SLIDING WORK 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. -

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 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 21: 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 22: General Description
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Power Wave 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 power source is designed to be used with the semi automatic family of Power Feed wire feeders, operating as a system. -
Page 23: Case Front Controls
CASE FRONT CONTROLS All operator controls and adjustments are located on the case front of the Power Wave. (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 24: Nominal Procedures
Power Waves encom- passes a wide range of common processes and will meet most needs. If a special welding program is desired, contact the local Lincoln Electric sales repre- sentative. To make a weld, the Power Wave needs to know the desired welding parameters. -
Page 25: 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 26: 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 28: 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 grid, and certified actual meters for voltage and cur- rent. -
Page 29: 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 30: 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. - Page 31 Observe all Safety Guidelines detailed throughout this manual ERROR CODES FOR THE POWERWAVE The following is a list of possible error codes that the Power Wave 455M 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"...
