Operation
Semi Automatic Power Wave
Arclink compatible Power Feed semi-automatic wire
feeders. In addition, the Power Feed semi-automatic
wire feeders may require optional equipment to access
certain weld modes in the Power Wave
of Lincoln feeders, or any models of non-Lincoln wire
feeders, cannot be used.
All welding programs and procedures are selected
through the Power Feed semi-automatic user interface
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
Any Arclink compatible semi-automatic wire feeding
equipment. Specifically, the semi-automatic Power
Feed family (PF10M Series, Power Feed 15M and
Power Feed 25M).
LIMITATIONS
• Only Arclink compatible Power Feed semi-automatic
wire feeders and users interfaces may be used.
Other Lincoln wire feeders or non-Lincoln wire feed-
ers cannot be used.

355M/405M Output Limitations
The POWER WAVE
355M/405M will support maxi-
®
mum average output current of 350 Amps @ 60%
duty cycle.
DUTY CYCLE AND TIME PERIOD
The duty cycle is based upon a ten minute period. A
60% duty cycle represents 6 minutes of welding and 4
minutes of idling in a ten minute period.
CASE FRONT CONTROLS
All operator controls and adjustments are located on
the case front of the Power Wave
1. POWER SWITCH: Controls input power to the
Power Wave

Condition
Steady Green
System OK. Power source communicating
normally with wire feeder and its components
if other feeder & components show they are
powered up.
Blinking
Occurs during a reset, and indicates the
Green
POWER WAVE
(identifying) each component in the system.
Normal for first 1-10 seconds after power is
turned on, or if the system configuration is
changed during operation
Alternating
Non-recoverable system fault. If the PW
Green and
Status light is flashing any combination of red
Red
and green, errors are present in the POWER
WAVE
®
355M/405M. Read the error code
before the machine is turned off.
Error Code interpretation through the Status
light is detailed in the LED Status Chart.
Individual code digits are flashed in red with
a long pause between digits. If more than
one code is present, the codes will be sepa-
rated by a green light.
To clear the error, turn power source off, and
back on to reset.
Non recoverable hardware fault. Generally
Steady Red
indicates nothing is connected to the
POWER WAVE
receptacle. See Trouble Shooting Section.
Not applicable.
Blinking Red
3. HIGH TEMPERATURE LIGHT (thermal overload):
A yellow light that comes on when an over temper-
ature situation occurs. Output is disabled and the
fan continues to run, until the machine cools down.
When cool, the light goes out and output is enabled.
