SAFETy PRECAUTION
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Only a qualified electrician should
connect the MAXsa™ 19 Controller.
Installation should be made in
accordance with the appropriate
National Electrical Code, the local
codes and the information in this
manual.
• Turn off the input power to the
power source at the disconnect
switch or fuse box before working
on this equipment. Turn off the
input power to any other equipment
connected to the welding system at
the disconnect switch or fuse box
before working on this equipment.
• Do not touch electrically hot parts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WELDING VOLTAGE
Wire feed parts are electrically live while welding and
while feeding wire (with Touch Sense feature select-
ed). The electrically live parts are listed below:
Electrode
Electrode Reel
Wire Drive Motor
Drive Rolls
Gear Box
Cross-seam Adjuster
Wire Straightener
Welding Nozzle
Welding Cables
Welding Cable Terminal
CAUTION
• Do not touch electrically live parts or
electrodes with your skin or wet cloth-
ing.
• Insulate yourself from the work and
ground.
• Always wear dry insulating gloves.
MECHANICAL HAzARDS
• Welding fixture or wire feeder will
move during welding or inching. Keep
away from pinch points.
• Electrode reel and drive rolls turn during weld-
ing or inching. Keep gloved hands away from
areas that may catch the glove.

INSTALLATION
LOCATION AND MOUNTING
The MAXsa™ 19 Controller will operate in harsh envi-
ronments and can be used outdoors with an IP 23 rat-
ing. Even so, it is important that simple preventative
measures are followed in order to assure long life and
reliable operation. The MAXsa™ 19 Controller must be
located where there is little risk of impacts to the
Controller
.
HIGH FREQUENCy PROTECTION
Locate the MAXsa™ 19 Controller away from radio
controlled machinery. The normal operation of the
MAXsa™ 19 Controller may adversely affect the opera-
tion of RF controlled equipment, which may result in
bodily injury or damage to the equipment.
CONTROL CABLE CONNECTIONS
GENERAL GUIDELINES
These guidelines apply to all communications
cables including optional DeviceNet and Ethernet
connections.
• Genuine Lincoln control cables should be used
at all times (except as noted otherwise). Lincoln
cables are specifically designed for the communica-
tion and power needs of the Power Wave/ MAXsa™
systems. Most are designed to be connected end to
end for ease of operation.
• Always use the shortest cable lengths possible.
DO NOT coil excess cable. It is recommended that
the total length of control cable does not exceed
100' (30.5M). The use of non-standard cables in
excess of 25' (7.5M) can lead to communication
problems (system shutdowns), poor motor accelera-
tion (poor arc starting), and low wire driving force
(wire feeding problems).
• Best results will be obtained when the control
cables are routed separate from the weld cables.
This minimizes the possibility of interference
between the high currents flowing through the weld
cables and the low level signals in the control
cables.
