to allow the user to change various weld settings at the
gun rather than having to go to the user interface. P.25
can be used to change the behavior of the joystick. In all
configurations, the up and down joystick positions will
adjust the wire feed speed, while welding and while not
welding. P.25 is used to reconfigure the behavior of the
left and right joystick positions.
When P.25 is set to "Trim/Volts/etc.", the left and
right joystick positions will adjust Arc Length Trim,
Arc Voltage, Power or STT Background Current
based on the selected weld mode. For example,
when a non-synergic STT weld mode is selected,
the left and right joystick positions will adjust
Background Current. When a Power mode is
selected, the left and right joystick positions will
adjust the Power (kW).
When P.25 is set to "Memory+Trim/etc.", the left
and right joystick positions will select a user memory
while not welding and adjust
Trim/Voltage/Power/STT Background Current while
welding.
When P.25 is set to "Procedure A/B", the left and
right joystick positions will be used to select
procedure A and B, while welding and while not
welding. The left joystick position selects procedure
A, the right joystick position selects procedure B.
Diagnostic Parameters
P.80 Sense from Studs
Use this parameter for diagnostic purposes only. When
power is cycled, P.80 is automatically reset to False.
False = Sensing for the electrode (67) and work (21)
is determined by the DIP switches of the system.
True = Sensing for the electrode (67) and work (21)
is measured at the studs of the power source and
the DIP switch settings are overridden.
P.99 Show Test Modes
Many weld tables include special modes for testing and
servicing the welding system. Set this parameter to YES
to show all test modes. When the power source is
turned off, the Show Test Modes parameter
automatically reverts back to "NO".
P.100 View Diagnostics
Diagnostics are only used for servicing the Power Wave
system.
Yes = Shows P.101 through P.500 in the SETUP
menu.
No = Only P.0 through P.100 are shown in the
SETUP menu.

Maintenance
For any maintenance or repair operations it is
recommended to contact the nearest technical service
center or Lincoln Electric.
performed by unauthorized service centers or personnel
will null and void the manufacturers warranty.
The frequency of the maintenance operations may vary
in accordance with the working environment where the
machine is placed.
Any noticeable damage should be reported immediately.

Routine maintenance

Check condition of insulation and connections of the
work cables and input power supply cable.
Remove the spatters from the welding gun nozzle.
Spatters could interfere with the shielding gas flow
to the arc.
Check the welding gun condition: replace it, if
necessary.
Check condition and operation of the cooling fan.
Keep clean its airflow slots.

Periodic maintenance

Perform the routine maintenance and, in addition:
Keep clean the machine. Using a dry ( and low
pressure) airflow, remove the dust from the external
case and from inside of the cabinet.
Check condition of all connections and change if
necessary.
Check and tighten all screws.
Mains supply network must be disconnected from the
machine before each maintenance and service. After
each repair, perform proper tests to ensure safety.
