Output connections on some POWER WAVE®s 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 t[...]

A-4 INST ALLA TION POWER WAVE® 405M A-4 VOL T AGE SENSING The best arc performance occurs when the PowerWaves have accurate data about the arc condi- tions. Depending upon the process, inductance within the electrode and work lead cables can influence the voltage apparent at the studs of the welder . Voltage sense leads improve the accuracy of the[...]

CONTROL CABLE SPECIFICA TIONS 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 25ft. (7.6m), can lead to com- munication problems ([...]

GENERAL DESCRIPTION The POWER WAVE® 405M 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, and pulse welding modes. The POWER WAVE® 405M power source is designed to be used with the semi automatic family of Power Feed wir[...]

POWER WAVE® 405M – Semi-Automatic Operation POWER WAVE® 405M can only be used with ArcLink compatible Power Feed M semi-automatic wire feeders. In addition, the Power Feed M semi- automatic wire feeders may require optional equip- ment to access certain weld modes in the POWER WAVE®. Other model s of Lincoln feeders, or a ny models of non-Linc[...]

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- pl ied a s p art of t he wi re f ee der . I t c an be mo un ted direc[...]

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[...]

B-5 OPERA TION B-5 PULSE WELDING Pulse welding procedures are set by controlling an overall "arc length" variable. When pulse welding, the arc voltage is highly dependent upon the waveform. The peak current, back ground current, rise time, fall time and pulse frequency all affect the voltage. The exact voltage for a given wire feed speed [...]
