A Free copy of “Arc Welding Safety” booklet E205 is available from the Lincoln Electric Company, 22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199. BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
  • Page 3: Electric Shock Can Kill

    ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. 3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.
  • Page 4 WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion. 6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

    SAFETY PRECAUTION ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Only qualified personnel should per- form this installation. • 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 work- ing on this equipment.
  • Page 11: Cable Connections

    CABLE CONNECTIONS CONTROL CABLE CONNECTIONS • All system control cables are the same. • All control cables can be connected end to end to extend their length. • All system equipment must be connected to a con- trol cable. Welding systems using the Power Feed 11 offer previ- ously unprecedented flexibility in the connection of system components.
  • Page 12: Work Cable Connections

    WORK CABLE CONNECTIONS Connect a work lead of sufficient size and length (per the following table) between the proper output termi- nal on the power source and the work. Be sure the connection to the work makes tight metal-to-metal electrical contact. To avoid interference problems with other equipment and to achieve the best possible operation, route all cables directly to the work or wire feeder.
  • Page 13 RATIO CHANGE PROCEDURE: 1) Power down the Power Feed by turning OFF its companion PowerWave power source. For maxi- mum safety, disconnect the control cable from the Power Feed. 2) Pull open the Wire Feeder’s Compartment Door. 3) Remove the Feedplate per the following: a) Disconnected the Electrode from the Feedplate b) Pull open the Wire Drive Pressure Door.

    A-11 OPTIONAL FEATURES INSTALLATION A number of Optional Features are available for use with Power Feed 11. Some Installation informa- tion is provided in this section, REFER TO THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT COME WITH EACH KIT FOR DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING INSTALLA- TION.
  • Page 20: Operation

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Do not touch electrically live parts such as output terminals or internal wiring. • When inching with gun trigger, electrode and drive mechanism are “hot” to work and ground and could remain energized several seconds after the gun trigger is released.
  • Page 21 The user adjusts WFS according to factors such as weld size, penetration requirements, heat input, etc. The power source then uses the WFS setting to adjust its output char- acteristics (output voltage, output current) according to pre- programmed settings contained in the power source. In constant current modes (arc gouging, stick, TIG) this control adjusts the output current, in amps.
  • Page 22 K1542-12 MSP2 Panel: (Optional) This panel provides a selection of over 25 weld modes, including CV, pulse, FCAW and CC, through a toggle switch and indicator lights (LEDs). It allows for adjustment of all set up parameters, Preflow, Run In, Arc Control, Burnback, Postflow, and Crater, through an up/down toggle switch, indicator lights and a 3 digit display.
  • Page 23: Control Box Panels - Set Up Controls Description

    To recall a memory setting, simply push that memory button. That memory’s contents will be immediately recalled to the Control box. If the ‘Memory Change with Trigger Pull’ DIP switch is on (see “Setting DIP Switches in the Control Box” sec- tion) it is possible to recall a given memory by quickly pulling and releasing the gun trigger before welding.
  • Page 24: Control Box - Setting Operating Limits

    CONTROL BOX -- SETTING OPERATING LIMITS Upper and lower operating limits can be set for the WFS/Amps setting and the Volts/Trim setting. Doing so requires knowledge of how to set the limits, and access to the PC board in the Control Box. There are two independent sets of limits, Procedure A limits and Procedure B limits.
  • Page 25: Wire Drive Operation

    WIRE DRIVE OPERATION The most frequently used Wire Drive settings are external; some features are accessed by internal set- tings. WIRE DRIVE SETTINGS -- EXTERNAL 2 STEP/4 STEP SWITCH: The Wire Drive has a 2 Step/ 4 Step switch located near the gun connector.
  • Page 26: Wire Drive -- Pc Board Adjustments

    WIRE DRIVE -- PC BOARD ADJUSTMENTS ELECTRODE POLARITY: The system needs to be aware of the electrode polari- ty. A DIP switch setting on the Wire Drive PC board is used for this purpose. See INSTALLATION Section “Setting DIP Switches in the Wire Drive”. GEAR BOX RATIO: The systems needs to know which gear has been installed on the Wire Drive, low or high speed.
  • Page 27: Feeding Electrode And Brake Adjustment

    OPERATION 1) Press end of gun against a solid object that is electrically isolated from the welder output and press the gun trigger for several seconds. 2) If the wire "birdnests", jams, or breaks at the drive roll, the drive roll pressure is too great.
  • Page 28: Making A Weld

    MAKING A WELD 1. Use only a network compatible power source. 2. Properly connect the electrode and work leads for the correct electrode polarity. 3. Set all desired parameters such as trigger logic, Run-in Speed, Acceleration, Electrode polarity, etc. per “DIP SWITCH SETUP” in the INSTALLATION section.
  • Page 29: Component Status Lights

    B-10 COMPONENT STATUS LIGHTS Each network component has a single status light. The light is a bicolor, Green/Red, LED. The purpose of the status light is to allow the operator to quickly identify that the system is working properly or, if not, NOTE: The green light ON and steady indicates a normal functioning system.
