Installation And Operator Instructions - Lincoln Electric Power Wave S350 Operator's Manual

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.
EQUIPMENT WEIGHT OVER 30kg: Move this equipment with care and with the help of another
person. Lifting may be dangerous for your physical health.

General Description
®
The Power Wave Advanced Module is an accessory
enabling compatible power sources to perform the DC+,
DC-, AC, STT or any combination of these functions. It
is intended for use with medium range "S" – series
Power Wave power sources such as the S350 or S500.
The Advanced Module will limit the output of an S500
(CE) or R500 to a maximum of 350 amps, regardless of
process. The module itself is a low profile pedestal,
designed to seamlessly integrate with compatible power
sources and water coolers.
Location, Environment and Mounting
(see Figure #1&#2)
Mount the Advanced Module directly to the bottom of a
®
compatible Power Wave "S" series power source
utilizing the quick lock mechanism as shown. The
Advanced Module will operate in harsh environments
and can be used outdoors. Even so, it is important that
simple preventative measures are followed in order to
assure long life and reliable operation.

The machine must be located where there is free
circulation of clean air such that movement into and
out of the louvers will not be restricted.

Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine
should be kept to a minimum. The use of air filters
on the air intake is not recommended because
normal air flow may be restricted. Failure to
observe these precautions can result in excessive
operating temperatures and nuisance shutdown.

Keep the machine dry. Shelter from rain and snow.
Do not place on wet ground or in puddles.

Do not mount the Power Wave
source and Advanced Module combination over
combustible surfaces. Where there is a combustible
surface directly under stationary or fixed electrical
equipment, that surface shall be covered with a
steel plate at least 1.6mm thick, which shall extend
not less than 150mm beyond the equipment on all
sides.
