WARNING
Mar ‘95
ELECTRIC AND
MAGNETIC FIELDS
may be dangerous
2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes
localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding
current creates EMF fields around welding cables and
welding machines
2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and
welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician
before welding.
2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health
effects which are now not known.
2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to
minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
2.d.1.
Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure
them with tape when possible.
2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.
2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and
work cables. If the electrode cable is on your right
side, the work cable should also be on your right side.
2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded.
2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.
1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the
radiator pressure cap when the engine is
hot.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS

SAFETY
ii
ARC RAYS can burn.
4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover
plates to protect your eyes from sparks and
the rays of the arc when welding or observing
open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens
should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.
4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant
material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from
the arc rays.
4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable
screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose
themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
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.
3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.
Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full
area of physical contact with work and ground.
In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding
must be performed under electrically hazardous
conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet
clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or
scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,
kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or
accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use
the following equipment:
• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.
• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.
• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.
3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic
welding gun are also electrically “hot”.
3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical
connection with the metal being welded. The connection
should be as close as possible to the area being welded.
3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical
(earth) ground.
3.f.
Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and
welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace
damaged insulation.
3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of
electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage
between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage
of both welders.
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect
yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these
fumes and gases.When welding, keep
your head out of the fume. Use enough
ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When
welding with electrodes which require special
ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see
instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or
cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings
which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as
low as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)
using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In
confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a
respirator may be required. Additional precautions are
also required when welding on galvanized steel.
5.b.
Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon
vapors
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors
to
form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating prod-
ucts.
5.c. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and
cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,
especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
5.d. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the
material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your
employer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available from
your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.
5.e. Also see item 1.b.
Mar ‘95
FOR ELECTRICALLY
powered equipment.
8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect
switch at the fuse box before working on
the equipment.
8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National
Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National
Electrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
CYLINDER may explode
if damaged.
7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders
containing the correct shielding gas for the
process used and properly operating
regulators designed for the gas and
pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for
the application and maintained in good condition.
7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely
chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.
7.c. Cylinders should be located:
• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to
physical damage.
• A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and
any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other
electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet
when opening the cylinder valve.
7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand
tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for
use.
7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas
cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l,
“Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in
Cylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association
1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

SAFETY
iii
Mar ‘95
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. Avoid welding near
hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,
special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous
situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI
Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the
equipment being used.
6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode
circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact
can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the
proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures
will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances
inside. They can cause an explosion even
though
they have
been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended
Safe Practices for the
Preparation
for Welding and Cutting of
Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous
Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society
(see address above).
6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or
welding. They may explode.
6.f.
Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil
free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,
cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear
ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a
welding area.
6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding
area as practical. Work cables connected to the building
framework or other locations away from the welding area
increase the possibility of the welding current passing
through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate cir-
cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains
or cables until they fail.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ
Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions
et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce
manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suiv-
antes:
Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:
a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tension
quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours
tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue
ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans
trous pour isoler les mains.
b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand on
soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher
metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans
les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande
partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.
c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble
de soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état
defonctionnement.
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour le
refroidir.
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension
des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder
parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le
total de la tension à vide des deux machines.
f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de
courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions
pour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de
soudage.
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger
contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais
enrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partie
du corps.
3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel,
donc:
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié
ainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-
onnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ou
quand on regarde l’arc.
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la
peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de
l‘arc.
c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité au
soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc de
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres
de l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-
talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les
zones où l’on pique le laitier.
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
prévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.
7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de
la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un
échauffement et un risque d’incendie.
8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible
de la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on place
la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres
endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque
de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev-
age, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer
des risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et des
câbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.
9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.
Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles
galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui
produit des fumeés toxiques.
10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant
d’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La
chaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs
du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)
ou autres produits irritants.
11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté,
voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA
Standard W 117.2-1974.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À
REDRESSEUR
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de
l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif
de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une
bonne mise à la terre.
2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seront
effectués par un électricien qualifié.
3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debranch-
er à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur
place.

LIFTING
Lift the machine by the lift bail only. The lift bail is
designed to lift the power source only. Do not attempt
to lift the Power Wave with accessories attached to it.
STACKING
Power Wave machines can be stacked to a maximum
of 3 high.
The bottom machine must always be placed on a
firm, secure, level surface. There is a danger of
machines toppling over if this precaution is not
taken.
-------------------------------------------------------------
MACHINE GROUNDING
The frame of the welder must be grounded. A ground
terminal marked with the symbol is located inside
the reconnect/input access door for this purpose. See
your local and national electrical codes for proper
grounding methods.
HIGH FREQUENCY PROTECTION
Locate the Power Wave away from radio controlled
machinery.
The normal operation of the Power Wave may
adversely affect the operation of RF controlled
equipment, which may result in bodily injury or
damage to the equipment.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Read this
entire installation section before you start installa-
tion.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Only qualified personnel should
perform this installation.
• Turn the input power OFF 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 the equipment.
• Do not touch electrically hot parts.
• Always connect the Power Wave 455M (CE)
grounding lug (located inside the reconnect input
access door) to a proper safety (Earth) ground.
----------------------------------------------------------
SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION
Do not use Power Wave 455M (CE) in outdoor envi-
ronments. The Power Wave 455M (CE) power source
should not be subjected to falling water, nor should
any parts of it be submerged in water. Doing so may
cause improper operation as well as pose a safety
hazard. The best practice is to keep the machine in a
dry, sheltered area.
Do not mount the Power Wave 455M (CE) over com-
bustible surfaces. Where there is a combustible sur-
face directly under stationary or fixed electrical equip-
ment, that surface shall be covered with a steel plate
at least .060" (1.6mm) thick, which shall extend not
less than 5.90" (150mm) beyond the equipment on all
sides.
Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely cir-
culate in through the rear louvers and out through the
case sides and bottom. Dirt, dust, or any foreign mater-
ial that can be drawn into the welder should be kept at
a minimum. Do not use air filters on the air intake
because the air flow will be restricted. Failure to
observe these precautions can result in excessive
operating temperatures and nuisance shutdowns.
Machines are equipped with F.A.N. (fan as needed)
circuitry. The fan runs whenever the output is enabled,
whether under loaded or open circuit conditions. The
fan also runs for a period of time (approximately 5 min-
utes) after the output is disabled, to ensure all compo-
nents are properly cooled.
If desired, the F.A.N. feature can be disabled (causing the
fan to run whenever the power source is on). To disable
F.A.N., connect leads 444 and X3A together at the output
of the solid state fan control relay, located on the back of
the Control PC board enclosure. (See Wiring Diagram)

result in bodily injury or death.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Use a three-phase supply line. A 45 mm (1.75 inch)
diameter access hole for the input supply is located on
the upper left case back next to the input access door.
Connect L1, L2, L3 and ground according to the Input
Supply Connection Diagram decal located on the
inside of the input access door or refer to Figure A.1.
INPUT FUSE AND SUPPLY WIRE
CONSIDERATIONS
Refer to the Technical Specifications at the beginning
of this Installation section for recommended fuse and
wire sizes. Fuse the input circuit with the recommend-
ed super lag fuse or delay type breakers (also called
“inverse time” or “thermal/magnetic” circuit breakers).
Choose an input and grounding wire size according to
local or national electrical codes. Using fuses or circuit
breakers smaller than recommended may result in
“nuisance” shut-offs from welder inrush currents, even
if the machine is not being used at high currents.
NOTE: Turn main input power to the machine OFF before performing connection procedure. Failure to
do so will result in damage to the machine.

ELECTRODE AND WORK CABLE
CONNECTIONS
Connect a work lead of sufficient size and length (Per
Table 1) between the proper output terminal 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 and wire feeder. Avoid excessive
lengths and do not coil excess cable.
Minimum work and electrode cable sizes are as follows:

NOTE: K1796 coaxial welding cable is recommended to
reduce the cable inductance in long cable lengths. This
is especially important when Pulse welding up to 350
amps.
When using inverter type power sources like the
Power Waves, use the largest welding (electrode and
work) cables that are practical. At least 67 mm

CABLE INDUCTANCE, AND ITS AFFECT
ON PULSE WELDING
For Pulse Welding processes, cable inductance will
cause the welding performance to degrade. For the
total welding loop length less than 15.24m (50 ft.), tra-
ditional welding cables may be used without any
effects on welding performance. For the total welding
loop length greater than 15.24m (50 ft.), the K1796
Coaxial Welding Cables are recommended. The weld-
ing loop length is defined as the total of electrode
cable length (A) + work cable length (B) + work length
(C) (See Figure A.3).
For long work piece lengths, a sliding ground should
be considered to keep the total welding loop length
less than 15.24m (50 ft.). (See Figure A.4.)
Output connections on some Power Waves are made
via 1/2-13 threaded output studs located beneath the
spring loaded output cover at the bottom of the case
front.
Most welding applications run with the electrode being
positive (+). For those applications, connect the elec-
trode cable between the wire feeder and the positive
(+) output stud on the power source (located beneath
the spring loaded output cover near the bottom of the
case front). Connect the other end of the electrode
cable to the wire drive feed plate. The electrode cable
lug must be against the feed plate. Be sure the con-
nection to the feed plate makes tight metal-to-metal
electrical contact. The electrode cable should be sized
according to the specifications given in the work cable
connections section. Connect a work lead from the
negative (-) power source output stud to the work
piece. The work piece connection must be firm and
secure, especially if pulse welding is planned.
For additional Safety information regarding the elec-
trode and work cable set-up, See the standard "SAFE-
TY INFORMATION" located in the front of the
Instruction Manuals.
Excessive voltage drops caused by poor work
piece connections often result in unsatisfactory
welding performance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEGATIVE ELECTRODE POLARITY
When negative electrode polarity is required, such as
in some Innershield applications, switch the output
connections at the power source (electrode cable to
the negative (-) stud, and work cable to the positive (+)
stud).
When operating with electrode polarity negative the
"Electrode Sense Polarity" DIP switch must be set to
the "Negative" position on the Wire Drive Feed Head
PC Board. The default setting of the switch is positive
electrode polarity. Consult the Power Feed instruction
manual for further details.
VOLTAGE SENSING
The best arc performance occurs when the Power
Waves have accurate data about the arc conditions.
Depending upon the process, inductance within the
electrode and work lead cables can influence the
apparent voltage at the studs of the welder. Voltage
sense leads improve the accuracy of the arc conditions
and can have a dramatic effect on performance.
Sense Lead Kits (K940-10, -25 or -50) are available for
this purpose.
If the voltage sensing is enabled but the sense
leads are missing, improperly connected, or if the
electrode polarity switch is improperly configured,
extremely high welding outputs may occur.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ELECTRODE sense lead (67) is built into the con-
trol cable, and is automatically enabled for all semi-
automatic processes. The WORK sense lead (21) con-
nects to the Power Wave 455M (CE) at the four pin
connector located underneath the output stud cover.
By default the WORK voltage is monitored at the out-
put stud in the Power Wave 455M (CE). For more
information on the WORK sense lead (21), see "Work
Voltage Sensing” in the following paragraph.
All constant current processes sense the voltage at the
output studs of the Power Wave 455M (CE) by default.

Electrode Voltage Sensing
Enabling or disabling electrode voltage sensing is
automatically configured through software. The 67
electrode sense lead is internal to the cable to the
wire feeder and always connected when a wire feeder
is present.
Important: The electrode polarity must be config-
ured at the feed head for all semi-automatic
processes. Failure to do so may result in extreme-
ly high welding outputs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
POWER WAVE TO SEMI-AUTOMAT-
IC POWER FEED WIRE FEEDER
INTERCONNECTIONS
The Power Wave 455M (CE) and semi-automatic
POWER FEED family communicate via a 5 conductor
control cable (K1543). The control cable consists of two
power leads, one twisted pair for digital communication,
and one lead for voltage sensing. The cables are
designed to be connected end to end for ease of exten-
sion. The output receptacle on the Power Wave 455M
(CE) is located beneath the spring loaded output cover at
the bottom of the case front. The input receptacle on the
Power Feed is typically located at the back of the feeder,
or on the bottom of the user interface.
For convenience sake, the electrode and control cables
can be routed behind the left or right strain reliefs (under
the spring loaded output cover), and along the channels
formed into the base of the Power Wave 455M (CE), out
the back of the channels, and then to the wire feeder.
Due to the flexibility of the platform the configuration may
vary. The following is a general description of the sys-
tem. For specific configuration information, consult the
semi-automatic Power Feed instruction manual.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Power Wave 455M (CE) and Power Feed M family
of products utilize a digital communication system called
ArcLink. Simply put, ArcLink allows large amounts of
information to be passed at very high speeds between
components (nodes) in the system. The system requires
only two wires for communication, and because of its
bus-like structure, the components may be connected to
the network in any order, thus simplifying the system set-
up.
Each "system" must contain only one power source.
The number of wire feeders is determined by the type
of wire feeder. Refer to the wire feeder instruction
manual for details
Enable the voltage sense leads as follows:

Work Voltage Sensing
The standard Power Wave 455M’s default to the work
stud (work sense lead disabled)
For processes requiring work voltage sensing, con-
nect the (21) work voltage sense lead (K940) from the
Power Wave work sense lead receptacle to the work
piece. Attach the sense lead to the work piece as
close to the weld as practical, but not in the return cur-
rent path. Enable the work voltage sensing in the
Power Wave as follows:
• Do not touch electrically live
parts or electrodes with your
skin or wet clothing.
• Insulate yourself from the work
and ground.
• Always wear dry insulating gloves.
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. Turn off power to the power source at the discon-
nect switch.
2. Remove the front cover from the power source.
3. The control board is on the left side of
the power source. Locate the 8-position
DIP switch and look for switch 8 of the
DIP switch.
4. Using a pencil or other small object,
slide the switch right to the OFF posi-
tion if the work sense lead is NOT con-
nected. Conversely, slide the switch to
the ON position if the work sense lead
is present.
5. Replace the cover and screws. The PC board will
“read” the switch at power up, and configure the
work voltage sense lead appropriately.

CONFIGURING THE SYSTEM
For codes below 11100, consult the semi-automatic
Power Feed instruction manual for configuration infor-
mation about DIP switch settings.
For codes above 11100 the power source will “Auto
Map” the system eliminating most of the need to set
DIP switches to configure the system.
If a system can not be “Auto Mapped” then the status
light on the power source will blink green fast and the
welder output will be disabled. If a system is not
“Auto-mappable”, then consult the instruction manual
for the accessory being used for configuration infor-
mation about DIP switch settings, or consult your local
Lincoln sales representative.

WELDING WITH MULTIPLE POWER
WAVES
Special care must be taken when more than one
Power Wave is welding simultaneously on a single
part. Arc blow and arc interference may occur or
be magnified.
Each power source requires a work lead from the
work stud to the welding fixture. Do not combine all of
the work leads into one lead. The welding travel direc-
tions should be in the direction moving away from the
work lead as shown below. Connect all of the work
sense leads from each power source to the work
piece at the end of the weld.
For the best results when pulse welding, set the wire
size and wire feed speed the same for all the Power
Waves. When these parameters are identical, the
pulsing frequency will be the same, helping to stabilize
the arcs.
Every welding gun requires a separate shielding gas
regulator for proper flow rate and shielding gas cover-
age.
Do not attempt to supply shielding gas for two or more
guns from only one regulator.
If an anti-spatter system is in use then each gun must
have its own anti-spatter system. (See Figure A.2)

CONTROL CABLE SPECIFICATIONS
It is recommended that genuine Lincoln control cables
be used at all times. Lincoln cables are specifically
designed for the communication and power needs of
the Power Wave / Power Feed system.
The use of non-standard cables, especially in
lengths greater than 7.62 (25 feet), can lead to
communication problems (system shutdowns),
poor motor acceleration (poor arc starting) and
low wire driving force (wire feeding problems).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The K1543 series of control cables can be connected
end to end for ease of extension. Do not exceed more
than 100 feet (30.5 m) total control cable length.

DIP SWITCH SETTINGS AND LOCATIONS
DIP switches on the P.C. Boards allow for custom
configuration of the Power Wave. To access the DIP
switches:
• Turn off power at the disconnect switch.
• Remove the top four screws securing the front
access panel.
• Loosen, but do not completely remove, the bottom
two screws holding the access panel.
• Open the access panel, allowing the weight of the
panel to be carried by the bottom two screws. Make
sure to prevent the weight of the access panel from
hanging on the harness.
• Adjust the DIP switches as necessary.
• Replace the panel and screws, and restore power.

WATER FLOW SENSOR
Water cooled guns can be damaged very quickly if
they are used even momentarily without water flowing.
A water flow sensor is recommended for those water
coolers that do not have an integral flow sensor.
Recommended practice is to install a water flow sen-
sor such as K1536-1 on the water return line of the
torch. When fully integrated into the welding system,
the sensor will prevent welding if no water flow is pre-
sent.
