SAFETY  
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.  
ARC RAYS can burn.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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:  
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  
• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.  
• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.  
• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.  
your head out of the fume. Use enough  
ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep  
3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,  
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic  
welding gun are also electrically “hot”.  
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 within applicable OSHA PEL and  
ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or mechanical ven-  
tilation. In confined spaces or in some circumstances,  
outdoors, a respirator may be required. Additional pre-  
cautions are also required when welding on galvanized  
steel.  
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.  
5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected  
by various factors including proper use and positioning of the  
equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific  
welding procedure and application involved. Worker expo-  
sure level should be checked upon installation and periodi-  
cally thereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL  
and ACGIH TLV limits.  
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.  
5.c. 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.  
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.  
5.d. 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.e. 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.

SAFETY  
WELDING and CUTTING  
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.  
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.  
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.  
7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely  
chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other  
electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.  
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).  
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.  
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.  
FOR ELECTRICALLY  
powered equipment.  
8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect  
switch at the fuse box before working on  
the equipment.  
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 circuits.  
This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or  
cables until they fail.  
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.  
6.h. Also see item 1.c.  
6.I. Read and follow NFPA 51B “ Standard for Fire Prevention  
During Welding, Cutting and Other Hot Work”, available from  
NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park,PO box 9101, Quincy, Ma  
022690-9101.  
6.j. Do not use a welding power source for pipe thawing.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ  
prévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.  
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:  
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 levage,  
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.  
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 met-  
allique 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 defonc-  
tionnement.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR  
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À  
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À  
REDRESSEUR  
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 rayon-  
nement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ou  
quand on regarde l’arc.  
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.  
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.  
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. 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.  
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur place.  
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.

SAFETY  
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)  
Conformance  
Products displaying the CE mark are in conformity with European Community Council Directive of 15 Dec  
2004 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility,  
2004/108/EC. It was manufactured in conformity with a national standard that implements a harmonized  
standard: EN 60974-10 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Product Standard for Arc Welding Equipment.  
It is for use with other Lincoln Electric equipment. It is designed for industrial and professional use.  
Introduction  
All electrical equipment generates small amounts of electromagnetic emission. Electrical emission may be  
transmitted through power lines or radiated through space, similar to a radio transmitter. When emissions  
are received by other equipment, electrical interference may result. Electrical emissions may affect many  
kinds of electrical equipment; other nearby welding equipment, radio and TV reception, numerical controlled  
machines, telephone systems, computers, etc. Be aware that interference may result and extra precautions  
may be required when a welding power source is used in a domestic establishment.  
Installation and Use  
The user is responsible for installing and using the welding equipment according to the manufacturer’s  
instructions. If electromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be the responsibility of the user of the  
welding equipment to resolve the situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases  
this remedial action may be as simple as earthing (grounding) the welding circuit, see Note. In other cases  
it could involve construction of an electromagnetic screen enclosing the power source and the work com-  
plete with associated input filters. In all cases electromagnetic disturbances must be reduced to the point  
where they are no longer troublesome.  
Note: The welding circuit may or may not be earthed for safety reasons according to national  
codes. Changing the earthing arrangements should only be authorized by a person who is  
competent to access whether the changes will increase the risk of injury, e.g., by allowing  
parallel welding current return paths which may damage the earth circuits of other equip-  
ment.  
Assessment of Area  
Before installing welding equipment the user shall make an assessment of potential electromagnetic prob-  
lems in the surrounding area. The following shall be taken into account:  
a) other supply cables, control cables, signaling and telephone cables; above, below and adjacent to the  
welding equipment;  
b) radio and television transmitters and receivers;  
c) computer and other control equipment;  
d) safety critical equipment, e.g., guarding of industrial equipment;  
e) the health of the people around, e.g., the use of pacemakers and hearing aids;  
f) equipment used for calibration or measurement  
g) the immunity of other equipment in the environment. The user shall ensure that other equipment being  
used in the environment is compatible. This may require additional protection measures;  
h) the time of day that welding or other activities are to be carried out.

SAFETY  
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)  
The size of the surrounding area to be considered will depend on the structure of the building and other  
activities that are taking place. The surrounding area may extend beyond the boundaries of the premises.  
Methods of Reducing Emissions  
Mains Supply  
Welding equipment should be connected to the mains supply according to the manufacturer’s recommen-  
dations. If interference occurs, it may be necessary to take additional precautions such as filtering of the  
mains supply. Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently installed welding  
equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding should be electrically continuous throughout its  
length. The shielding should be connected to the welding power source so that good electrical contact is  
maintained between the conduit and the welding power source enclosure.  
Maintenance of the Welding Equipment  
The welding equipment should be routinely maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.  
All access and service doors and covers should be closed and properly fastened when the welding equip-  
ment is in operation. The welding equipment should not be modified in any way except for those changes  
and adjustments covered in the manufacturers instructions. In particular, the spark gaps of arc striking and  
stabilizing devices should be adjusted and maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.  
Welding Cables  
The welding cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned close together, running at  
or close to floor level.  
Equipotential Bonding  
Bonding of all metallic components in the welding installation and adjacent to it should be considered.  
However, metallic components bonded to the work piece will increase the risk that the operator could  
receive a shock by touching these metallic components and the electrode at the same time. The operator  
should be insulated from all such bonded metallic components.  
Earthing of the Workpiece  
Where the workpiece is not bonded to earth for electrical safety, not connected to earth because of its size  
and position, e.g., ships hull or building steelwork, a connection bonding the workpiece to earth may reduce  
emissions in some, but not all instances. Care should be taken to prevent the earthing of the workpiece  
increasing the risk of injury to users, or damage to other electrical equipment. Where necessary, the con-  
nection of the workpiece to earth should be made by a direct connection to the workpiece, but in some  
countries where direct connection is not permitted, the bonding should be achieved by suitable capaci-  
tance, selected according to national regulations.  
Screening and Shielding  
Selective screening and shielding of other cables and equipment in the surrounding area may alleviate  
problems of interference. Screening of the entire welding installation may be considered for special applica-  
1
tions.

INPUT FUSE AND SUPPLY WIRE  
CONSIDERATIONS  
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.  
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.  
Minimum work and electrode cable sizes are as follows:

Welders are shipped connected for the highest input  
voltage listed on the rating plate. To move this connec-  
tion to a different input voltage, see the diagram locat-  
ed on the inside of the input access door. If the main  
reconnect switch or link position is placed in the wrong  
position, the welder will not produce output power.  
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.  
If the Auxiliary (A) lead is placed in the wrong position,  
there are two possible results. If the lead is placed in a  
position higher than the applied line voltage, the welder  
may not come on at all. If the Auxiliary (A) lead is  
placed in a position lower than the applied line voltage,  
the welder will not come on, and the two circuit break-  
ers or fuses in the reconnect area will open. If this  
occurs, turn off the input voltage, properly connect the  
(A) lead, reset the breakers, and try again. For  
machines equipped with a fuse in the reconnect area,  
turn off the input voltage and replace the fuse with the  
spare fuse that is attached to the reconnect switch pin.  
CAUTION  
When using inverter type power sources like the  
V450-PRO, use the largest welding (electrode and  
work) cables that are practical. At least 2/0 (67  
2
mm ) copper wire - even if the average output cur-  
rent would not normally require it. When pulsing,  
the pulse current can reach very high levels.  
Voltage drops can become excessive, leading to  
poor welding characteristics, if undersized welding  
cables are used.

CABLE INDUCTANCE, AND ITS EFFECTS  
ON PULSE WELDING  
For Pulse Welding processes, cable inductance will  
cause the welding performance to degrade. For the  
total welding loop length less than 50 ft.(15.24m), tradi-  
tional welding cables may be used without any effects  
on welding performance. For the total welding loop  
length greater than 50 ft. (15.24m), the K1796 Coaxial  
Welding Cables are recommended. The welding loop  
length is defined as the total of electrode cable length  
(A) + work cable length (B) + work length (C) (See  
Figure A.2).  
CAUTION  
Excessive voltage drops caused by poor work  
piece connections often result in unsatisfactory  
welding performance.

NEGATIVE ELECTRODE POLARITY  
FIGURE A.2  
When negative electrode polarity is required, such as in  
some Innershield applications, switch the output con-  
nections at the power source (electrode cable to the  
negative (-) stud, and work cable to the positive (+)  
stud.

Output connections on some V450-PRO 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.

LN-742 Connection Instructions  
General Instructions for Connection of Wire  
Feeders to V450-Pro  
• Turn the Invertec® power switch "off"  
• A K1819-1 Input cable assembly is required to con-  
nect the LN-742 to the Invertec®.  
• Connect the control cable from the LN-742 to the  
14-pin MS-style connector.  
• Connect the electrode cable to the output terminal  
of the polarity required by electrode. Connect the  
work lead to the other terminal.  
Wire feeders other than those listed above may be  
used provided that the auxiliary power supply rating of  
the V450-Pro is not exceeded and the V450-PRO out-  
put is not actively controlled by the wire feeder. (Like  
an LN-9). K867 universal adapter plug is required. See  
connection diagram S24985 in Operator Manual.  
• Set the meter polarity switch on the front of the  
Invertec® to coincide with wire feeder polarity used.  
The wire feeder will now display the welding volt-  
age.  
REMOTE CONTROL OF INVERTEC®  
Remote Control K857, Hand Amptrol K963 and Foot  
Amptrol K870 may be used.  
• If a remote control such as K857 is to be used with the  
LN-742, the remote can be connected directly to the 6-pin  
MS-style connector on the front of the Invertec® or use a  
K864 adapter to connect the LN-742 and the remote to  
the 14-pin MS-style connector.  
PARALLEL OPERATION  
The V450-Pro are operable in parallel in CC mode. For  
best results, the currents of each machine should be  
reasonably equally balanced. As an example, with two  
machines set up in parallel for a 800 amps procedure,  
each machine should be set to deliver approximately  
400 amps, not 450 amps from one and 350 amps from  
the other. This will minimize nuisance shutdown condi-  
tions. In general, more than two machines in parallel  
will not be effective due to the voltage requirements of  
procedures in that power range.  
Cobramatic Connection Instructions  
• Turn the Invertec® power switch "off"  
• Connect the control cable from the Cobramatic to  
the 14-pin MS-style connector.  
• Connect the electrode cable to the output terminal  
of the polarity required by electrode. Connect the  
work lead to the other terminal.  
• Set the meter polarity switch on the front of the  
Invertec® to coincide with wire feeder polarity used.  
• If a remote control such as K857 is to be used with  
the Cobramatic, the remote can be connected  
directly to the 6-pin MS-style connector on the front  
of the Invertec® or use a K864 adapter to connect  
the cobramatic and the remote to the 14-pin MS-  
style connector.  
To set machine outputs, start with output control pots  
and arc control pots in identical positions. Use the out-  
put control pots to balance the currents and maintain  
the desired current. The arc control pots should be  
kept identical on the two machines.  
TIG Module K930-2  
The TIG Module connects to the Factory and Advanced  
Process V450-Pro versions with a K936-1 (9-14 pin)  
control cable. Connect the K936-1 to the 14-Pin MS-  
style connector.

OPERATION  
6. THERMAL  
CC-STICK SOFT: The Stick Soft process features contin-  
uous control ranging from 5 to 570 amps. This mode was  
intended for most SMAW applications, and Arc Gouging.  
• This status light indicates when the power source has been  
driven into thermal overload. If the output terminals were  
"ON", the "ON" light will blink indicating that the output will  
be turned back on once the unit cools down to an accept-  
able temperature level. If the unit was operating in the  
"REMOTE" mode, the trigger will need to be opened  
before or after the thermal has cleared and closed after the  
machine has cooled down to an acceptable temperature to  
establish output.  
• Arc Gouging: Setting the output of the Stick Soft  
mode to 570 amps or setting the arc control to maxi-  
mum will enable the arc-gouging mode. The actual out-  
put current will depend on the size of carbon used. The  
recommended maximum size carbon is 3/8"(9.5mm).  
• The Hot Start control regulates the starting current at  
arc initiation. Hot Start can be adjusted from minimum  
(0), with no additional current added at arc start, to  
maximum (10), with double the preset current or 570  
amps (max of machine) added for the first second after  
arc initiation.  
7. CONTROL-REMOTE / LOCAL  
• Two status lights indicate the location of output control as  
pre-determined by the power sources auto-configure sys-  
tem.  
• The Arc Control regulates the Arc Force to adjust the  
short circuit current. The minimum setting (-10) will pro-  
duce a "soft" arc and will produce minimal spatter. The  
maximum setting (+10) will produce a "crisp" arc and  
will minimize electrode sticking.  
• The LOCAL display will be lit when control is at the power  
source.  
• The REMOTE display will be lit when a remote pot/control  
is detected.  
These Output Control configurations can be overridden  
(switched) with the CONTROL push button. When changed,  
the unit will power up in the configuration it was in when it  
was last powered down.  
CC-STICK CRISP:The Stick Crisp mode features contin-  
uous control from 5 to 570 amps with a crisp shorting  
response optimized for E6010 type electrodes.  
Hidden Middle Control Panel – Process Set Up  
Panel  
• Arc Gouging: Setting the output of the Crisp mode to  
570 amps or setting the arc control to maximum will  
enable the arc-gouging mode. The actual output cur-  
rent will depend on the size of carbon used. The rec-  
ommended maximum size carbon is 3/8"(9.5mm).  
The middle control panel is removable to allow for  
upgrades (see Field Installed Options/Accessories).  
Additionally, this panel is hidden by an access door to  
provide protection to the controls.  
• The Hot Start control regulates the starting current at  
arc initiation. Hot Start can adjust starting current up or  
down by 25% of the preset value. The recommended  
setting for Hot Start is 5 where the initial current is  
equal to the preset current.

OPERATION  
CV-WIRE: The CV-WIRE mode features continuous  
control from 10 to 40 volts. This mode was intended for  
most GMAW, FCAW, and MCAW applications.  
• The Arc Control regulates the Arc Force to adjust the  
short circuit current. The minimum setting (-10) will  
produce a "soft" arc and will produce minimal spat-  
ter. The maximum setting (+10) will produce a "crisp"  
arc and will minimize electrode sticking.  
• The Hot Start control is not used in the CV-WIRE  
mode.  
TIG GTAW: The TIG mode features continuous control  
from 5 to 570 amps. The TIG mode can be run in either  
the TIG touch start or high frequency (optional equip-  
ment required) assisted start mode.  
• The Hot Start control selects the starting mode  
desired. A setting of less than 5, the TIG lift start  
mode is selected. The OCV is controlled below 10v  
and the short circuit "TIG touch" current is main-  
tained at 25 amps independent of the preset current.  
• The Arc Control regulates pinch effect. At the mini-  
mum setting (-10), minimizes pinch and results in a  
soft arc. Low pinch settings are preferable for weld-  
ing with gas mixes containing mostly inert gases. At  
the maximum setting (+10), maximizes pinch effect  
and results in a crisp arc. High pinch settings are  
preferable for welding FCAW and GMAW with CO2.  
CV-INNERSHIELD: The CV-INNERSHIELD mode  
features continuous control from 10 to 45 volts. This  
mode was designed for self-shielded flux cored wires  
that require tight voltage control.  
When the tungsten is lifted, an arc is initiated and  
the output is regulated at the preset value. Hot start  
settings between 0 and 5 regulate the arc initiation  
current. A setting of 5 results in the most positive arc  
initiation. A setting of 0 reduces hot start.  
• The Hot Start control is not used in the CV-INNER-  
SHIELD mode.  
• Hot Start settings between 5 and 10, select high fre-  
quency assisted starting TIG mode. In this range,  
the OCV of the machine is controlled between 50  
and 70 volts. If using the Lincoln K930-1 TIG  
Module, set the Hot start to 10 for maximum OCV.  
• The Arc Control regulates pinch effect. At the mini-  
mum setting (-10), minimizes pinch and results in a  
soft arc. At the maximum setting (+10), maximizes  
pinch effect and results in a crisp arc. Most self-shield-  
ed wires work well at an Arc Control setting of 5.  
• The Arc Control is not used in the TIG mode.

Stick Soft  
55 - 570 amps The stick soft mode is the best selection for general stick  
applications.  
Arc Control = Arc Force  
Hot Start = Initial hot start current (min = start a match set amps, Max.  
= greatest hot start current) During hot start, arc force is set  
at high and is fast response.  
For gouging applications: Turn current up to 570 amps.  
Stick Crisp  
55 - 570 amps The stick crisp mode features an aggressive arc force routine well suit-  
ed for Exx10, Exx11 series electrodes.  
Arc Control = Arc Force  
Hot Start = Initial hot start current (Mid range = welding current and will  
vary up and down with knob control.) During hot start, arc  
force is set at high and is fast response.  
For gouging applications: Turn current up to 570 amps.  
GTAW (Tig mode)  
5 - 570 amps The tig mode produces a soft, steady constant current waveform for  
either touch start or high frequency assisted start DC GTAW applica-  
tions.  
Hot Start = Min to Mid range = Touch start with low OCV  
Mid to Max range = High frequency assisted starting with adjustable  
OCV up to 70 volts.  
GMAW - CV  
FCAW-SS  
10 - 45 volts  
10 - 45 volts  
The GMAW - CV mode is the best selection for general MIG welding,  
Metal core, and gas shielded applications.  
Arc Control = Pinch (Min = min pinch, softest arc),  
(Max = max pinch, crispest arc)  
The FCAW-SS mode is designed for Self Shielded Innershield products  
that require tight voltage control. For example; the NR 203 series or NR  
207)  
Arc Control = Pinch (Min = min pinch, softest arc),  
(Max = max pinch, crispest arc)  
ADVANCED PULSE PANEL WELDING PROGRAMS  
Gouging  
60 - 570 amps The gouging mode is specifically designed for carbon arc gouging with  
electrodes up to 3/8”.  
GMAW - Power  
0.1 - 20 KW  
The GMAW - power mode is similar in operation to other GMAW  
modes. The power mode features a very stable short arc performance,  
which is especially good when welding small diameter (.025 and .030  
steel and stainless) wires for low procedures. The short arc steel and  
stainless applications, a fast response for spray applications, and a  
drooper type spray mode characteristic for Aluminum.

The V450 pulse programs are non-synergic and allow independent  
control of the wire feed speed and the arc length. The Output  
Control Knob on the V450, adjusts an "SPD" value. Similar to trim,  
the "SPD" value indicates the relative arc length setting. The value  
of "SPD" is meant to be a starting point at which to set the arc  
length relative to the wire feed speed. Depending on the applica-  
tion, the "SPD" value can be adjusted to obtain the desired arc  
length.

The operation of the Arc Control knob on the V450 is similar to the  
Power Wave series. As Arc Control is increased, the frequency is  
increased and the background reduced. Decreasing Arc Control will  
reduce frequency and increase background current. Arc Control  
acts to fine tune the arc plasma to the specific application.

The Nickel Alloy pulse programs are non adaptive. The operator  
sets the output control knob to deliver the correct arc length at the  
desired wire feed speed and stick out. While welding, the operator  
manipulates the stick out to maintain the correct arc length. This  
method of operation produces very stable arc performance consid-  
ering the nature of nickel alloys.

• The remote will default to only the 6-pin MS-style  
connector if a remote is connected to it.  
• The WELD TERMINAL control will default to ON with  
or without a remote connected.  
11. Both Output terminals are "STUD" connectors.  
Types of Remote OUTPUT CONTROL  
• The Invertec® V450-Pro’s Output Control can be  
controlled by either a potentiometer connected  
between 77 & 75 with the wiper connected to 76 or a  
0V to 10V DC supply connected between 76 & 75.  
(76 needs to be positive)  
12. The METER POLARITY switch is located above the out-  
put connectors. The switch provides a work connection for  
wire feeder voltmeters. Place the switch in the position of  
the electrode polarity indicated by the decal. The switch  
does not change the welding polarity.

pin B and lead 77 is pin A.  
14. 14-PIN MS-style connector for wire and remote control.  
15. AUXILIARY POWER  
Potentiometer Control  
• The total resistance should be between 2,000 ohms  
(2K) and 10,000 ohms (10K)  
• 115VAC, 42VAC and 24VAC power is available from the  
14-pin MS-style connector.  
• 42 VAC supply is rated at 10 amps.  
• 24 VAC supply is rated at 10 amps.  
• 115VAC outlet rated at 15* amps.  
• The machine output will be at minimum when lead  
76 (wiper) is at the end of the potentiometer that is  
connected to 75. The machine’s output will increase  
as the wiper of the potentiometer is moved to the end  
that is connected to 77. (Note: In TIG mode, moving  
the lead 76 (wiper) to lead 77 would produce the cur-  
rent that has been set by the Invertec® V450-Pro’s  
front panel Output Control.)  
* Earlier models used a 10 amp circuit breaker.  
REMOTE CONTROL SELECTION  
• Remotes of this type offered by Lincoln Electric are  
the K857, K812 and K870.  
The Invertec® V450-Pro has auto sensing of remote output  
controls. If after connecting or removing a remote, the  
Invertec® V450-Pro did not configure the way you would like  
the local or remote control settings can be changed by push-  
ing the OUTPUT CONTROL or WELD TERMINAL button. (A  
user cannot select between the 6 and 14 pin MS-style con-  
nectors.)  
Voltage Control  
• The supply should be an isolated supply. (Not refer-  
enced to earth ground, any auxiliary power from the  
Invertec® V450-Pro or the welding output) The sup-  
ply should be capable of supplying at least 20mA.  
• 0 volts supplied to 76 will set the Invertec® V450-Pro  
to minimum output for the mode that has been  
selected while 10 volts supplied to 76 will set the  
Invertec® V450-Pro to the maximum output for the  
mode. (NOTE: In TIG mode, 10 volts supplied to  
lead 76 would produce the current that has been set  
by the Invertec® V450-Pro’s front panel Output  
Control.)  
CV modes  
• The remote will default to the 14-pin MS-style connector if a  
remote is connected. If no remote is connected to the 14-pin  
MS-style connector, then the remote will default to the 6-pin  
MS-style connector if a remote is connected to it.  
• In all of the CV modes, the WELD TERMINAL control will  
default to REMOTE.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Clean interior of machine with a low-pressure air  
stream. Make a thorough inspection of all compo-  
nents. Look for signs of overheating, broken leads or  
other obvious problems. Many problems can be  
uncovered with a good visual inspection.  
WARNING  
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.  
• Do not touch electrically live parts or  
electrode with skin or wet clothing.  
• Insulate yourself from work and  
ground  
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE  
• Always wear dry insulating gloves.  
------------------------------------------------------------------------  
EXPLODING PARTS can cause  
1. Every 6 months or so, the machine should be  
cleaned with a low pressure airstream. Keeping  
the machine clean will result in cooler operation  
and higher reliability. Be sure to clean these  
areas:

CAPACITOR DISCHARGE PROCEDURE  
1. Obtain a power resistor (25 ohms, 25 watts).  
2. Examine the sheet metal case for dents or breakage.  
Repair the case as required. Keep the case in good  
condition to insure that high voltage parts are protected  
and correct spacings are maintained. All external sheet  
metal screws must be in place to insure case strength  
and electrical ground continuity.  
2. Hold resistor body with electrically insulated glove.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION  
The machine is electrically protected from producing  
high output currents. Should the output current exceed  
570A, an electronic protection circuit will reduce the  
current to approximately 100A. The machine will con-  
tinue to produce this low current until the protection cir-  
cuit is reset. Reset occurs when the output load is  
removed.

CAPACITOR  
TERMINALS  
THERMAL PROTECTION  
CAPACITOR  
TERMINALS  
Thermostats protect the machine from excessive oper-  
ating temperatures. Excessive temperatures may be  
caused by a lack of cooling air or operating the  
machine beyond the duty cycle and output rating. If  
excessive operating temperature should occur, the  
thermostat will prevent output voltage or current. The  
meter will remain energized during this time.  
3. Use a DC voltmeter to check that voltage is not  
present across the terminals on three capacitors.  
Thermostats are self-resetting once the machine  
cools sufficiently. If the thermostat shutdown was  
caused by excessive output or duty cycle and the fan  
is operating normally, the Power Switch may be left  
on and the reset should occur within a 15 minute  
period.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The INVERTEC® V450-PRO is an inverter based  
welding power source that is designed to be a multi-  
process welding system. It is a high performance, dig-  
itally controlled inverter capable of complex, high-  
speed waveform control. With the appropriate modu-  
lar components it can support constant current, con-  
stant voltage and pulse welding processes. The output  
rating is 450 amps at 36 volts with a 100% duty cycle.  
The 65 VDC produced from the power board rectifier is  
utilized by the power board to provide various DC volt-  
ages for the control board and wire feeder.  
The two phases, which are connected to the input  
board through the power switch, are connected to the  
input rectifier. During precharge or “soft start” these  
two phases are current limited by the input board. This  
AC input voltage is rectified, and the resultant DC volt-  
age is applied through the reconnect switches to the  
input capacitors located on the switch boards. The  
control board monitors the voltage across the capaci-  
tors. When the capacitors have charged to an accept-  
able level, the control board signals the input board to  
energize the main input contactor making all three  
phases of input power, without current limiting, avail-  
able to the input capacitors. At this point, the  
INVERTEC® V450-PRO is in the “Run Mode” of oper-  
ation. If the capacitors become under or overvoltage,  
the control board will signal the input board to de-  
energize the main input contactor, and the  
INVERTEC® V450-PRO will be disabled.  
INPUT VOLTAGE AND  
PRECHARGE  
The INVERTEC® V450-PRO can be connected for a  
variety of three phase voltages. Refer to Figure E.2.  
The initial input power is applied to the INVERTEC®  
V450-PRO through a line switch located on the front of  
the machine. Two phases of the three-phase input  
power is applied to the input board and both auxiliary  
transformers. The various secondary voltages devel-  
oped by the #1 auxiliary transformer are applied to the  
input board, the power board rectifier and the fan  
motor. The 115 VAC secondary voltage developed by  
the No. 2 auxiliary transformer is applied to the 115  
VAC receptacle.

SWITCH BOARDS AND MAIN  
TRANSFORMER  
Each switch board feeds current to a separate, oppo-  
sitely wound primary winding of the main transformer.  
The reverse directions of current flow through the main  
transformer primaries and the offset timing of the IGBT  
switch boards induce an AC square wave output signal  
at the secondary of the main transformer. These pri-  
mary currents are monitored by the current transformer  
(CT). If the primary currents become abnormally high,  
the control board will shut off the IGBTs, thus disabling  
machine output. The DC current flow through each pri-  
mary winding is clamped back to each respective input  
capacitor when the IGBTs are turned off. This is need-  
ed due to the inductance of the transformer primary  
winding. The firing of the two switch boards occurs  
during halves of a 50 microsecond interval, creating a  
constant 20 kHz output.  
There are two switch boards in the INVERTEC® V450-  
PRO, each containing an input capacitor and insulated  
gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) switching circuitry. Refer  
to Figure E.3. When the machine reconnect switches  
are configured for a lower input voltage (below 300  
VAC) the input capacitors are connected in parallel.  
When the machine is configured for higher input volt-  
ages (300 VAC and above) the input capacitors are  
connected in series.  
When the input capacitors are fully charged they act as  
power supplies for the IGBT switching circuit. The  
Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors switch the DC  
power, from the input capacitors, “on and off” thus sup-  
plying pulsed DC current to the main transformer pri-

CONTROL BOARD & MODE  
SELECTION  
The control board performs the primary interfacing  
functions to establish and maintain output control of the  
INVERTEC® V450-PRO. Refer to Figure E.4. The  
control board sends and receives digital command  
information through the wire feeder receptacle and or  
the RS232 connector. The software that is contained  
within the control board processes and compares  
these commands with the voltage and current feed-  
back information it receives from the current sensor  
and voltage sensing leads. The appropriate pulse  
width modulation (PWM) signal (See Pulse Width  
Modulation in this section) is sent to the switch board  
IGBTs. In this manner, the digitally controlled high-  
speed welding waveform is created.  
The control board also monitors the thermostats, main  
transformer primary current, and capacitor voltage,  
and activates either the thermal light and/or the status  
light. Dependent upon the fault situation, the control  
board will either disable or reduce machine output, or  
de-energize the main input contactor.

OUTPUT RECTIFIER  
AND CHOKE  
The output rectifier receives the AC output from the  
main transformer secondary and rectifies it to a DC  
voltage level. Since the output choke is in series with  
the negative leg of the output rectifier and also in series  
with the welding load, a filtered DC output is applied to  
the machine output terminals. See Figure E.5.

THEORY OF OPERATION  
OVER CURRENT  
PROTECTION  
THERMAL PROTECTION  
Two normally closed (NC) thermostats protect the  
machine from excessive operating temperatures.  
These thermostats are wired in series and are con-  
nected to the control board. One of the thermostats is  
located on the heat sink of the output rectifier and the  
other is located near the fan. (On later production  
machines this thermostat is located on the output  
choke) Excessive temperatures may be caused by a  
lack of cooling air or operating the machine beyond its  
duty cycle or output rating. If excessive operating tem-  
peratures should occur, the thermostats will prevent  
output from the machine. The yellow thermal light,  
located on the front of the machine, will be illuminated.  
The thermostats are self-resetting once the machine  
cools sufficiently. If the thermostat shutdown was  
caused by excessive output or duty cycle and the fan  
is operating normally, the power switch may be left on  
and the reset should occur within a 15-minute period.  
If the fan is not turning or the air intake louvers are  
obstructed, then the power must be removed from the  
machine, and the fan problem or air obstruction cor-  
rected. The F.A.N. (fan as needed) system is con-  
trolled by the control board via a solid-state relay.  
If the average current exceeds 590 amps, then the  
peak current will be limited to 100 amps until the aver-  
age current decreases to fewer than 50 amps.

included  
on  
the  
a
capacitor voltage is too high, or too low, the protection  
circuit will de-energize the input contactor. Machine  
output will be disabled and the “soft start” mode will be  
repeated. The protection circuit will prevent output if  
any of the following circumstances occur.  
1. Capacitor conditioning is required. (May be  
required if machine has been off for a long period  
of time and is connected for high input voltage  
operation.)  
2. Voltage across a capacitor exceeds 390 volts.  
(High line surges or improper input voltage con-  
nections.)  
PROTECTIVE CIRCUITS  
Protective circuits are designed into the INVERTEC®  
V450-PRO to sense trouble and shut down the  
machine before damage occurs to the machine's inter-  
nal components.  
3. Voltage across a capacitor is under 70 volts. (Due  
to improper input voltage connections.)  
4. Internal component damage.

OPERATION  
An IGBT is a type of transistor. IGBT are semiconduc-  
tors well suited for high frequency switching and high  
current applications.  
Example B shows the IGBT in an active mode. When  
the gate signals a positive DC voltage relative to the  
source, is applied to the gate terminal of the IGBT, it is  
capable of conducting current. A voltage supply con-  
nected to the drain terminal will allow the IGBT to con-  
duct and supply current to the circuit components cou-  
pled to the source. Current will flow through the con-  
ducting IGBT to downstream components as long as  
the positive gate signal is present. This is similar to  
turning ON a light switch.  
Example A in Figure E.6 shows an IGBT in passive  
mode. There is no gate signal, zero volts relative to the  
source, and therefore, no current flow. The drain termi-  
nal of the IGBT may be connected to a voltage supply;  
but since there is no conduction, the circuit will not sup-  
ply current to components connected to the source.  
The circuit is turned OFF like a light switch.

The negative portion is the other IGBT group . The  
dwell time (off time) is 48 microseconds (both IGBT  
groups off). Since only two microseconds of the 50-  
microsecond time period is devoted to conducting, the  
output power is minimized.  
The term Pulse Width Modulation is used to describe  
how much time is devoted to conduction in the positive  
and negative portions of the cycle. Changing the pulse  
width is known as modulation. Pulse Width Modulation  
(PWM) is the varying of the pulse width over the  
allowed range of a cycle to affect the output of the  
machine.  
MAXIMUM OUTPUT  
By holding the gate signal on for 24 microseconds  
each, and allowing only two microseconds of dwell  
time (off time) during the 50-microsecond cycle, the  
output is maximized. The darkened area under the top  
curve can be compared to the area under the bottom  
curve. The more dark area that is under the curve indi-  
cates that more power is present.  
MINIMUM OUTPUT  
By controlling the duration of the gate signal, the IGBT  
is turned on and off for different durations during the  
cycle. The top drawing in Figure E.7 shows the mini-  
mum output signal possible over a 50-microsecond  
time period.  
1
An IGBT group consists of two IGBT modules feeding one trans-  
former primary winding.  
The positive portion of the signal represents one IGBT  
1
group conducting for one microsecond.

NOTE: It is desirable to have a spare (known good)  
PC board available for PC board troubleshooting.  
1. Determine to the best of your technical ability  
that the PC board is the most likely component  
causing the failure symptom.  
NOTE: Allow the machine to heat up so that all  
electrical components can reach their operating  
temperature.  
2. Check for loose connections at the PC board  
to assure that the PC board is properly  
connected.  
5. Remove the replacement PC board and  
substitute it with the original PC board to  
recreate the original problem.  
3. If the problem persists, replace the suspect PC  
board using standard practices to avoid static  
electrical damage and electrical shock. Read  
the warning inside the static resistant bag and  
perform the following procedures:  
a. If the original problem does not reappear by  
substituting the original board, then the PC  
board was not the problem. Continue to look  
for bad connections in the control wiring  
harness, junction blocks, and terminal strips.  
PC board can be damaged by static electricity.  
b. If the original problem is recreated by the  
substitution of the original board, then the PC  
board was the problem. Reinstall the  
replacement PC board and test the machine.  
- Remove your body’s static  
charge before opening the static-  
shielding bag. Wear an anti-static  
wrist strap. For safety, use a 1  
Meg ohm resistive cord connected

NOTE: Following this procedure and writing on the  
warranty report, “INSTALLED AND SWITCHED PC  
BOARDS TO VERIFY PROBLEM,” will help avoid  
denial of legitimate PC board warranty claims.  
- If you don’t have a wrist strap,  
touch an un-painted, grounded,  
part of the equipment frame. Keep  
touching the frame to prevent  
static build-up. Be sure not to  
touch any electrically live parts at  
the same time.  
- Tools which come in contact with the PC board must  
be either conductive, anti-static or static-dissipative.

PRO.  
2. Using the 3/8” nut driver, remove the left and  
right case sides.  
3. Be careful not to make contact with the capaci-  
tor terminals that are located in the bottom cen-  
ter of the left and right side switch boards. See  
Figure F.1.  
7. Repeat procedure for the other capacitor.  
4. Carefully check for a DC voltage at the capaci-  
tor terminals on both boards. Note the polarity  
is marked on the PC board and also lead #19 is  
positive.  
8. Recheck the voltage across the capacitor termi-  
nals. The voltage should be zero. If any volt-  
age remains, repeat the discharge procedure.  
5. If any voltage is present, proceed to Step #6. If  
no voltage is present, the capacitors are dis-  
charged.  
NOTE: Normally the capacitors discharge in about  
two minutes after input power is removed.

CALIBRATION CHECK  
VOLTAGE CALIBRATION  
The calibration of the V450-PRO can be checked  
using a resistive load bank with the V450-PRO in  
mode 200. Mode 200 is a constant current test  
mode.  
NOTE: If the Mode SELECT/MEMORY button is  
not pressed within 30 seconds after  
adjusting the Output Control knob the  
machine will leave the calibration mode  
and use the previous calibration settings.  
NOTE: Before attempting to calibrate the voltage  
or current setting of the V450-PRO, be  
sure to read the entire voltage or current  
calibration section. If the steps are not  
completed quickly, the machine will auto-  
matically leave the calibration mode with-  
out changing the calibration settings. The  
voltage and current calibration settings of  
the V450-PRO are completely indepen-  
dent of each other. Adjusting one will not  
affect the other.

TEST PROCEDURE  
Check 11/12 to -20 and 11/12 to +19  
1. Remove input power to the INVERTEC®  
V450-PRO.  
Check 15/16 to -20 and 15/16 to +19  
Check 13/14 to -20 and +19 to 13/14  
Check 17/18 to -20 and +19 to 17/18  
3. Use a DC voltmeter to check that the voltage is  
not present across the terminals on three  
capacitors.  
6. If any test fails (measures a short) isolate the  
PC board and retest, if board still fails, replace  
switch board. See Switch Board Removal  
4. Locate label and remove leads 19C and 19D  
from the reconnect switches with the 3/8”  
wrench. Note lead placement for reassembly.  
Clear leads. See Figure F.2.  
7. If the switch board tests are OK, check the  
molex pin connections and associated wiring  
from the switch boards to the control board.  
See the Wiring Diagram.  
5. Using the Analog ohmmeter, perform the following  
resistance tests. See Figure F.2 for the test points.  
Any readings below 100 ohms can be considered a  
short circuit. However, readings usually are below 30  
ohms. A short on any of the following points indicates  
a possible failed switch board.  
8. Reconnect leads 19C and 19D to the reconnect  
switches. Ensure that the leads are installed in  
the same location they were removed from.  
9. Install the right and left case sides and top  
using the 3/8” nut driver.

5. Turn on the V-450 PRO. Check for the correct  
DC supply voltage to the current transducer at  
8. If for any reason the machine cannot be loaded  
to 250 amps, Table F.5 shows what feedback  
voltage is produced at various current loads.  
A. Pin 2 (lead 212+) to pin 6 (lead 216-)  
should read +15 VDC.  
9. If the correct supply voltages are applied to the  
current transducer, and with the machine  
loaded, the feedback voltage is missing or not  
correct, the current transducer may be faulty.  
Also make certain that lead 211 (plug J8 pin 1)  
has continuity (zero ohms) between the current  
transducer and the control board. See the  
Wiring Diagram.  
B. Pin 3 (lead 213-) to pin 6 (lead 216+)  
should read -15 VDC.  
If the DC supply voltages are not present, the  
control board may be faulty.  
6. If both of the supply voltages are low or missing,  
check the associated leads between plug J8  
and current transducer plug P91 and the  
Control Board.  
10. Install the right side case cover using the 3/8”  
nut driver.  
7. With the V-450 PRO triggered, check the feed-  
back voltage from the current transducer. The  
current feedback voltage can be read at plug J8  
on the Control Board.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR  
CONTROL BOARD CHECK  
Since the functions of the Control Board are primarily software related, there are not very many tests to be per-  
formed that will help in diagnosing a problem with the board itself. Elimination of problems in the areas where  
loss of function is taking place will help decide by process of elimination if the Control Board is the defective  
component. As a result, the troubleshooting chart will typically recommend other areas to be tested before the  
Control Board.  
If the Control Board does seem to be the most likely solution, perform the checks outlined below, and then try  
downloading the latest software into the machine. If a solution is still not evident, use the Diagnostic facility to  
take a “snapshot” that can then be sent to the Lincoln Service Department via e-mail for assistance in determin-  
ing where the problem. Contact the Lincoln Service Department at 1-888-935-3877.  
TEST PROCEDURE  
1. Check the LED’s on the Control Board. Compare  
the pattern to Page 3 of the Machine Schematic.  
3. If LED’s 9 & 10 are flashing an error code and all  
other LED’s are correct:  
Normal operation will show 8 Green LED’s ON  
and both Red LED’s OFF.  
Check the Error Code list in this section to deter-  
mine where the problem may be.  
Green LED’s 1 through 8 indicate the pres-  
ence of the various DC supplies to the Board.  
If the Error Code is not listed, contact the Lincoln  
Service Department for determination.  
LED 7 (red) will only be ON in the event of a  
Primary Over Current. Cycle the Power  
Switch to reset LED 7.  
4. Check the DIP switches. In a single machine set-  
up, switches 1 through 7 should be OFF. Switch 8  
should be ON if a remote sense lead is attached.  
LED’s 9 (green) & 10 (red) will mimic the  
Status LED on the front panel in the event of  
an error. If the Status LED is OFF, these will  
still indicate the error code.  
NOTE: If any switches need to be changed because  
the machine was removed from a multi  
machine application be sure to write down  
their position before changing them so they  
can be properly reset when the machine is  
returned to it’s position.  
2. If any of the Green LED’s 1 through 8 are not lit or  
are dimmer than the others:  
Turn the power off and disconnect all of the  
Control Board Molex connectors except J4 and  
turn the power back on . If the LED(s) in question  
stay the same:  
Check the DC voltage levels in connector J4.  
See the Machine Schematic for correct read-  
ings.  
If voltages are correct, replace the Control  
Board. If not, replace the Power Board.

6. Check the resistance and continuity of the SPI  
cable by testing with the ohmmeter from each  
pin on plug J33 to the corresponding pins on  
plug J34. See the Wiring Diagram.  
13. If either of these voltages are low or not pre-  
sent, the control board may be faulty. Replace.  
7. The resistance reading pin to corresponding  
pin should be zero ohms or very low resis-  
tance. If the resistance reading is high or  
“open” check the plug connections to the SPI  
network PC boards. If the connections are OK  
and the resistance is high or “open” the SPI  
cable may be faulty.  
14. Remove the input power to the V450-PRO  
machine.  
15. Replace any cable ties previously removed.  
16. Replace the case front.
