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 Twist-Mate ter[...]

A-4 INST ALLA TION POWER WAVE 355M A-4 VOL T AGE 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[...]

POWER W A VE TO SEMI-AUTOMA TIC POWER FEED WIRE FEEDER INTERCON- NECTIONS The POWER WAVE 355M 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 communica- tion, and one lead for voltage sensing. The cables are designed to be connected[...]

A-6 INST ALLA TION A-6 POWER WAVE 355M CONFIGURING THE SYSTEM The power source will “Auto Map” the system eliminat- ing 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 [...]

GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Power Wave 355M semi-automatic power source is designed to be a part of a modular, multi-process welding system. Depending on configuration, it can support constant current, constant voltage, constant power and pulse welding modes. The Power Wave 355M power source is designed to be used with the semi automatic family of Powe[...]

WELDING ADJUSTMENTS All adjustments are made on the system component known as the User Interface (Control Box), which con- tains the switches, knobs, and digital displays neces- sary to control both the Power Wave and a Power Feed wire feeder. Typically, the Control Box is sup- plied as part of the wire feeder. It can be mounted directly on the wir[...]

Non Synergic CV: This type of CV mode behaves more like a conven- tional CV power source. Voltage and WFS are inde- pendent adjustments. Therefore to maintain the arc characteristics, the operator must adjust the voltage to compensate for any changes made to the WFS. All CV Modes: Arc Control, often referred to as wave control, adjusts the inductan[...]

PULSE-ON-PULSE™ (GMA W -PP) Pulse on Pulse™ is a Lincoln process specifically designed for use in welding relatively thin, less than 1/4"(6.4mm) thick aluminum (See Table B.3). It gives weld beads with very consistent uniform ripple. In Pulse on Pulse modes, two distinct pulse types are used, instead of the single pulse type normally used [...]

The welds made to obtain the values in the table were fillet [...]

B-7 OPERA TION B-7 POWER WAVE 355M POWER MODE™ The Power Mode™ process was developed by Lincoln to maintain a stable and smooth arc at low procedure settings which are needed to weld thin metal without pop-outs or burning-through. For alu- minum welding, it provides excellent control and the ability to maintain constant arc length. This results[...]
