ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Routine maintenance consists of periodically blowing
out the machine, using a low-pressure air stream, to
remove accumulated dust and dirt from the intake and
outlet louvers and the cooling channels in the machine.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Calibration of the Power Wave
able operation. Generally speaking the calibration will
not need adjustment. However, neglected or improper-
ly calibrated machines may not yield satisfactory weld
performance. To ensure optimal performance, the cali-
bration of output Voltage and Current should be
checked yearly.

CALIBRATION SPECIFICATION

Output Voltage and Current are calibrated at the facto-
ry. Generally, calibration will not need adjustment.
However, if the weld performance changes or the year-
ly calibration check reveals a problem, use the calibra-
tion section of the Powerwave Manager to make the
appropriate adjustments.
The calibration procedure itself requires the use of a
grid and certified actual meters for voltage and current.
The accuracy of the calibration will be directly affected
by the accuracy of the measuring equipment you use.
The Powerwave Manager includes detailed instruc-
tions and is available at:
