POWER WAVE SYSTEM OPERATION

The serviceability of a product or structure utilizing the welding
programs is and must be the sole responsibility of the
builder/user. Many variables beyond the control of The Lincoln
Electric Company affect the results obtained in applying these
programs. These variables include, but are not limited to,
welding procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment
design, fabrication methods and service requirements. The
available range of a welding program may not be suitable for
all applications, and the build/user is and must be solely
responsible for welding program selection.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The steps for operating the Power Wave will vary depending
upon the user interface of the welding system. The flexibility of
the Power Wave lets the user customize operation for the best
performance.
First, consider the desired welding process and the part to be
welded. Choose an electrode material, diameter, shielding gas
and process (GMAW, GMAW-P, GMAW-STT
Second, find the program in the welding software that best
matches the desired welding process. The standard software
shipped with the Power Waves encompasses a wide range of
common processes and will meet most needs. If a special
welding program is desired, contact the local Lincoln Electric
sales representative.
All adjustments are made on the user interface. Because of the
different configuration options your system may not have all of
the following adjustments. Regardless of availability, all controls
are described below.

SMAW (STICK) WELDING

SMAW is most often used for outdoor construction, pipe welding
and general repairs. The wire feeder controls Amperage, Output
Control and Arc Force during SMAW welding.
During SMAW welding, the user interface sets the weld
parameters and the wire drive remains idle.
The "Volts"-"Trim" control is used to turn the power Source
Output ON or OFF. (See Figure B.3)
