CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF DAMAGED: Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the
correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and
pressure used. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to a fixed support. Do
not move or transport gas cylinders with the protection cap removed. Do not allow the electrode,
electrode holder, work clamp or any other electrically live part to touch a gas cylinder. Gas cylinders
must be located away from areas where they may be subjected to physical damage or the welding
process including sparks and heat sources.
MOVING PARTS ARE DANGEROUS: There are moving mechanical parts in this machine, which
can cause serious injury. Keep your hands, body and clothing away from those parts during machine
starting, operating and servicing.
Installation Instructions
Read this entire section before installation or operation
of the machine.
General Physical Description
The MAXsa™ 10 CONTROLLER is a user interface
and a feeder controller. The control is used to set all
welding parameters and control any travel
mechanisms. High-speed digital cables connect the
control, wire drive, and the Power Wave power
source together.
The MAXsa™ 10 CONTROLLER is a self-contained
control box designed to control the entire weld arc at
one location.
The user interface utilizes alphanumeric displays for
advanced text messaging providing the end user
with an intuitive inter- face allowing for easy set up
and real-time control of all weld- ing parameters.
An eight button memory section has been included
which pro- vides easy storage and recall of stored
welding parameters.
The user interface can be removed from the control
box and connected as a Pendant for remote control
near the arc.
General Functional Description
The MAXsa™ 10 CONTROLLER is one of the most
versatile user interfaces ever created. Easy to use
features make it a snap to adjust the arc for specific
preferences.
The user interface brightly displays essential
welding informa- tion. Use it to quickly adjust weld
settings, arc starting para- meters, arc end
parameters and set-up information.
The memories allow for up to eight weld schedules
to be stored and quickly recalled. The user interface
allows for mul- tiple levels of limits and lockouts.
Digital communications to the power source provide
the most accurate and reliable operation possible.
When the MAXsa™ 10 CONTROLLER is coupled to
the Power Wave® AC/DC 1000 SD welding power
source, the result is a welding system with the best
arc performance on the market.

Definitions of Welding Modes
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
correct voltage and amperage based on the wire
feed speed (WFS) set by the oper ator.
See the Power Wave® AC/DC 1000 SD Operator's
Manual for available weld modes.
