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.  
4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant  
material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from  
the arc rays.  
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.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

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.  
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.  
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  
products.  
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.  
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.  
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.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.  
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.

SAFETY  
WELDING SPARKS can  
cause fire or explosion.  
CYLINDER may explode  
if damaged.  
6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area.  
If this is not possible, cover them to prevent  
7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders  
containing the correct shielding gas for the  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
•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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
6.h. Also see item 1.c.  
8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National  
Electrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

SAFETY  
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de  
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ  
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les  
zones où l’on pique le laitier.  
Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instruc-  
tions et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent  
dans ce manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté  
générales suivantes:  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 forte-  
ment toxique) ou autres produits irritants.  
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension  
des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à soud-  
er 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.  
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.  
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se pro-  
téger 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.  
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR  
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À  
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À  
REDRESSEUR  
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  
rayonnement 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 dis-  
positif 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-inflamma-  
bles.  
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  
debrancher 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,  
pantalons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.  
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur  
place.

LOCATION AND MOUNTING  
Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely  
circulate in through the rear louvers and out through  
the case sides and bottom. Dirt, dust, or any foreign  
material that can be drawn into the welder should be  
kept at a minimum. Using filters on the air intake to  
prevent dirt from building up restricts air flow. Do  
not use such filters. Failure to observe these precau-  
tions can result in excessive operating temperatures  
and nuisance shutdowns.

INSTALLATION  
INPUT FUSE AND SUPPLY WIRE  
CONSIDERATIONS  
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  
WARNING  
Refer to the Technical Specifications at the begin-  
ning of this Installation section for recommended fuse  
and wire sizes. Fuse the input circuit with the recom-  
mended 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.  
Only a qualified electrician should connect the  
input leads to the Power Wave. Connections  
should be made in accordance with all local and  
national electrical codes and the connection dia-  
gram located on the inside of the reconnect/input  
access door of the machine. Failure to do so  
may result in bodily injury or death.  
-----------------------------------------------------------  
Use a three-phase supply line. An 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.2.  
INPUT VOLTAGE RECONNECT  
PROCEDURE  
WARNING  
GROUNDING  
Turn main input power to the machine OFF  
before performing reconnect procedure. Failure  
to do so will result in damage to the machine.  
DO NOT switch the reconnect bar with machine  
power ON.  
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. Refer to the  
Technical Specifications at the beginning of this  
chapter for proper cable sizes.  
-----------------------------------------------------------  
Welders are shipped connected for the highest input  
voltage listed on the rating plate. To connect to a dif-  
ferent input voltage, refer to reconnect instructions  
located on the inside of the input access door or in  
Figure A.2. If the main reconnect switch is placed in  
the wrong position, the welder will not produce output  
power. 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 breakers in the reconnect area will  
open. If this occurs, turn off the input voltage, prop-  
erly connect the “A” lead, reset the breakers, and try  
again.  
HIGH FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE  
PROTECTION  
If possible, 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.

TYPICAL BENCH FEEDER CONNECTION  
CABLE CONNECTIONS  
Control cable is connected from Power Source (PS)  
to Feed Head (FH). If the Control Box is separated  
from the FH, a control cable will connect from the PS  
to the control box, which will have two control cable  
connectors. This could be the control box or the FH  
control box depending on how the units were sepa-  
rated. A second control cable would be connected  
from the second connector on the control box to the  
other FH control box.  
CONTROL CABLE CONNECTIONS  
• All system control cables are the same but can  
vary in length.  
• All control cables can be connected end to end to  
extend their length.  
• All system equipment must be connected to a  
control cable.  
TYPICAL BOOM FEEDER CONNECTION  
Welding systems using the Power Feed 10 offer pre-  
viously unprecedented flexibility in the connection of  
system components. This system uses the same  
type of control cable between each of the system  
components. Connections can be “daisy chained”  
from one system component to another. Since com-  
munication over the control cables is done by a  
robust communications network, the order of connec-  
tion of the components makes no difference. The  
cables can be connected anywhere that there is a  
mating connector. See the flexible connections part  
of this section for more details.  
Control cable is connected from PS to the control  
box. A second control cable would be connected  
from the second connector on the control box to the  
FH control box.  
FLEXIBLE CONNECTION POSSIBILITIES  
By using connector kits, a second connector can be  
added to the Control box or the FH. This allows the  
user to connect equipment types together in any  
order.  
NOTE: Maximum cable length between any two  
nodes is 250 feet.

INSTALLATION  
When using an inverter type power source, use the  
largest welding (electrode and ground) cables that  
are practical. At least 2/0 copper wire — even if the  
average output current would not normally require it.  
When pulsing, the pulse current can reach very high  
levels. Voltage drops can become excessive, lead-  
ing to poor welding characteristics, if undersized  
welding cables are used.  
CONTROL CABLE SPECIFICATIONS  
The cable is a five copper conductor cable in a SO-  
type rubber jacket. There is one 20 gauge twisted  
pair for network communications. This pair has an  
impedance of approximately 120 ohms and a propa-  
gation delay per foot of < 2.1 ns. There are two 12  
gauge conductors that are used to supply the 40  
VDC to the network. The fifth wire is 18 gauge and is  
used as an electrode sense lead. It is typically con-  
nected to the feed plate on the feed head when that  
feed head is active.  
ELECTRODE AND WORK LEADS —  
ELECTRODE POSITIVE APPLICATIONS  
Most welding applications run with the electrode  
being positive (+). For those applications, connect  
the electrode cable between the wire feeder and the  
positive (+) output stud on the power source (located  
beneath the spring loaded output cover near the bot-  
tom of the case front). See Figure A.3.

WIRE  
FEEDER  
TO  
WORK  
CABLE CONNECTIONS  
To avoid interference problems with other equipment  
and to achieve the best possible operation, route all  
cables directly to the work or wire feeder. Avoid  
excessive lengths, bundle the electrode and ground  
cables together where practical, and do not coil  
excess cable. Be sure the connection to the work  
makes tight metal-to-metal electrical contact.  
A work lead must be run 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. Excessive voltage drops  
at the work piece connection often result in unsatis-  
factory pulse welding performance.

SELECTING THE PROPER GEAR RATIO  
ELECTRODE AND WORK LEADS —  
ELECTRODE NEGATIVE APPLICATIONS  
See the Technical Specifications at the front of this  
section for feed speed and wire size capabilities with  
high and low speed gear ratios. To determine  
whether you should be using the high or low speed  
ratio, use the following guidelines:  
When negative electrode polarity is required, such as  
in some Innershield™ applications, install as above,  
except reverse the output connections at the power  
source (electrode cable to the negative (-) stud, and  
work cable to the positive (+) stud). See Figure A.4.  
- If you need to operate at wire feed speeds greater  
than 800 IPM (20 m/m), you will need to install the  
high speed gear (large, 30 tooth, 1.6 inch diameter  
gear).  
VOLTAGE SENSING AT THE WORK-  
PIECE  
- If you need to operate at wire feed speeds less than  
800 IPM (20 m/m), you should use the low speed  
gear (small, 20 tooth, 1.1 inch diameter gear).  
Using the low speed ratio will provide the maximum  
available wire driving force. Note: If you are feeding  
only small diameter wires you may, at your option,  
install the high speed ratio.  
A four-pin voltage sense lead connector is located  
beneath the output stud cover. In certain installa-  
tions, where the work connection is poor, arc perfor-  
mance may be improved by the use of an external  
voltage sensing lead. Contact the factory for informa-  
tion on connecting and using this feature.

Changing the ratio requires a gear change and a  
switch position change located on the feed head PC  
Board. The Power Feed 10 is shipped with both a  
high speed and a low speed gear. As shipped from  
the factory, the low speed (high torque) gear is  
installed on the feeder. For identification purposes,  
the low speed (high torque) gear has 20 teeth and is  
1.1 inches in diameter. The high speed gear has 30  
teeth and is 1.6 inches in diameter. See Figure A.5.

WIRE DRIVE GEAR RATIO (HIGH OR  
LOW SPEED)  
The speed range capability and drive torque of the  
Power Feed 10 wire drive can be easily and quickly  
changed by changing the external drive gear. The  
Power Feed 10 is shipped with both a high speed  
and a low speed gear. As shipped from the factory,  
the low speed (high torque) gear is installed on the  
feeder. If this is the desired gear ratio, no changes  
need to be made.

6. Tighten the screw on lower right face of feed  
plate.  
RATIO CHANGE PROCEDURE  
1. Pull open the pressure door.  
7. Re-attach feed plate to wire feeder if removed in  
Step 2.  
2. Remove the Phillips head screw retaining the  
pinion gear to be changed and remove the gear.  
If the gear is not easily accessible or difficult to  
remove, remove the feed plate from the gearbox.  
8. Feed plate will be rotated out-of-position due to  
the gear change. Adjust the angle of the feed  
plate by loosening the clamping collar screw  
(Step 2a) and pivoting feed head.  
To remove feed plate:  
9. Set the High/Low switch code on Feed Head PC  
board as follows:  
a. Loosen the clamping collar screw using a  
3/16 in. Allen wrench. The clamping collar  
screw is accessed from the bottom of the  
feed plate. It is the screw which is perpendic-  
ular to the feeding direction.  
a. Power down the Power Feed by turning off its  
campanion Power Wave power source. For  
maximum safety, disconnect the control cable  
from the Power Feed.  
b. Loosen the retaining screw, which is also  
accessed from bottom of feeder, using a  
3/16 in. Allen wrench. Continue to loosen the  
screw until the feed plate can be easily  
pulled off of the wire feeder.  
b. Remove the cover from the back of the feed  
head (2 screws).  
c. Locate the 8-position DIP switch near the top  
edge of the PC board, centered left to right.  
The setting will be made on the right most  
switch, S8.  
3. Loosen, but do not remove, the screw on the  
lower right face of the feed plate with a 3/16 in.  
Allen wrench.  
d. Using a pencil or other small object, slide the  
switch down, to the “0” position, when the low  
speed gear is installed. Conversely, slide the  
switch up, to the “1” position, when the high  
speed gear is installed. Refer to Figure A.6.  
4. Remove the screw on the left face of the feed  
plate. If changing from high speed (larger gear)  
to low speed (smaller gear), line the upper hole  
on the left face of the feed plate with the threads  
on the clamping collar. Line the lower hole with  
the threads to install larger gear for high speed  
feeder. If feed plate does not rotate to allow  
holes to line up, further loosen the screw on right  
face of feed plate.  
e. Replace the cover and screws. The PC board  
will “read” the switch at power up, automati-  
cally adjusting all control parameters for the  
speed range selected.  
5. Remove the small gear from the output shaft.  
Lightly cover the output shaft with engine oil or  
equivalent. Install gear onto output shaft and  
secure with flat washer, lock washer, and Phillips  
head screw which were previously removed.

OPERATION  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION  
Read and understand this entire section of operating  
instructions before operating the machine.  
The Power Wave 455 is a high performance, digitally  
controlled inverter welding power source capable of  
complex, high-speed waveform control. The Power  
Feed 10 is a high performance, digitally controlled,  
modular wire feeder. Properly equipped, they can  
support the GMAW, GMAW-P, and FCAW processes.  
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING  
Operating as a system, each component in the sys-  
tem has special circuitry to “talk with” the other sys-  
tem components, so each component (power source,  
wire feeder, electrical accessories) knows what the  
other is doing at all times. This shared information  
lays the groundwork for a system with superior weld-  
ing performance.  
ELECTRIC SHOCK  
can kill.  
• Do not touch electrically live parts or  
electrodes with your skin or wet cloth-  
ing.  
The Power Feed 10 is a four driven roll feeder that  
operates on 40 VDC input power, and is available  
configured in both boom and bench models. In addi-  
tion, the Control Box and wire feed unit can also be  
purchased separately. The bench model is designed  
so that it can easily be converted to a boom feeder.  
• Insulate yourself from the work and  
ground.  
• Always wear dry insulating gloves.  
-----------------------------------------------------------  
FUMES AND GASES  
can be dangerous.  
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT  
• Keep your head out of fumes.  
The Power Feed 10 must be used with the Power  
Wave 455.  
• Use ventilation or exhaust to remove  
fumes from breathing zone.  
-----------------------------------------------------------  
WELDING SPARKS  
can cause fire or explosion.  
• Keep flammable material away.  
• Do not weld on containers that have  
held combustibles.  
-----------------------------------------------------------  
ARC RAYS  
can burn.  
• Wear eye, ear, and body protection.  
Observe additional Safety Guidelines detailed in  
the beginning of this manual.

OPERATION  
Cold feed function:  
1. Indicator Lights:  
When this switch is held in the up position, the unit  
automatically feeds wire, but does not activate output  
to the power source or gas solenoid. The speed of  
this cold feed is factory preset to 200 IPM. It can be  
adjusted while the switch is held up, by rotating the  
WFS encoder knob on the Control Box. Note that  
this cold feed speed is independent of WFS or run in  
speeds. When the cold feed switch is released, the  
cold feed value is memorized for the next time cold  
feed is activated.  
Indicates either WFS or AMPS for the left display,  
and VOLTS or TRIM for the right display.  
2. Displays:  
Two extra bright, 3 1/2 digit, red LED displays. The  
values of the active parameters are displayed, as  
defined by their associated indicators. The left dis-  
play is for WFS or Amps, while the right display is for  
voltage or trim.  
Gas purge function:  
3. Left Encoder-Wire Feed Speed or Output Amps:  
When this switch is held in the down position only the  
gas solenoid valve is energized.  
The left encoder is used to adjust the parameters for  
either wire feed speed or output amps, dependent  
upon the process and weld mode being used.  
Rotating the encoder knob CCW decreases the num-  
ber value, while rotating the knob CW increases the  
number value. The ranges and limits are as follows:  
3. STATUS LIGHT  
A two color light that indicates system errors. Normal  
operation is a steady green light.  
WFS - Low Range: 50 to 800 IPM (1.25 to 19.99 MPM)  
High Range: 75 to 1200 IPM (2.0 to 30.5 MPM)  
DISPLAY CONTROL PANEL  
AMPS - Limited by the power source based on mode  
and process.  
The Display Control panel is the main input to the  
system. From it, the operator can control WFS,  
amps, voltage, and trim depending on the active weld  
mode. It is also the location of the Status  
indicator, a multicolored diagnostic LED (see  
Troubleshooting section). Refer to Figure B.3.  
4. Right Encoder - Trim or Output Volts:  
The right encoder operates in the same manner as  
the left except that either output Volts or Trim is  
adjusted. The ranges and limits are as follows:

preprogrammed voltages; for example, to compen-  
sate for cable and fixture voltage drops. The preset  
voltages can be adjusted on the wire feeder’s voltage  
display. When a change is made to the voltage at  
one wire feed speed, this change is applied to all  
other wire feed speed settings. For example, if the  
operator turns up the voltage by 10 percent, the  
machine automatically increases the preset voltages  
at all the other wire feed speeds by 10 percent. The  
preset voltage, programmed at the factory, may be  
changed with the wire feeder VOLTS adjustment.  
The CV/Gouge Panel provides a fixed toggle switch  
selection of two power source modes. The upper  
position selects the generic CV/MIG mode from the  
power source while the lower position selects the  
GOUGE mode.  
OPTIONAL PANELS  
A number of Optional Features are available for use  
with the Power Feed 10. Some Installation informa-  
tion is provided in the ACCESSORIES section,  
REFER TO THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT COME  
WITH EACH KIT FOR DETAILED INFORMATION  
REGARDING INSTALLATION.  
ARC GOUGING  
Arc gouging can be performed by choosing the arc  
gouging weld mode. Doing so automatically ener-  
gizes the output terminals on the Power Wave, mak-  
ing the power source immediately ready to gouge.  
The output current is set by the AMPS control on the  
Power Weld wire feeder. The VOLTS/TRIM adjust-  
ment has no effect in this mode.  
BOARD LEVEL ADJUSTMENTS  
The control box motherboard provides the capability  
to adjust some basic parameters as follows.  
The ARC CONTROL adjusts the arc force.  
Increasing the ARC CONTROL setting increases the  
arc force, making the arc more harsh but less likely  
to stick. Decreasing the ARC CONTROL setting  
decreases the arc force, making the arc softer and  
smoother.  
BURNBACK  
The BURNBACK trimmer (R5) is provided as a basic  
adjustment for burnback time. The range is 0.0 to  
0.25 seconds, CCW limit is minimum, CW limit is  
maximum. This value is overridden by any option  
with the ability to independently adjust burnback.  
ELECTRODE ROUTING  
ACCELERATION  
The electrode supply may be either from reels,  
Readi-Reels, spools, or bulk packaged drums or  
reels. Observe the following precautions:  
See DIP Switch setup in the Installation section.  
a. The electrode must be routed to the wire  
drive unit so that the bends in the wire are at  
a minimum, and also that the force required  
to pull the wire from the reel into the wire  
drive unit is kept at a minimum.  
RUN IN  
See DIP Switch setup in the Installation section.  
WELD MODE DESCRIPTIONS  
b. The electrode is “hot” when the gun trigger is  
pressed and must be insulated from the  
boom and structure.  
CONSTANT VOLTAGE (CV/MIG)  
c. If more than one wire feed unit shares the  
same boom and are not sharing the some  
power source output stud, their wire and  
reels must be insulated from each other as  
well as insulated from their mounting struc-  
ture.  
For each wire feed speed, a corresponding voltage is  
preprogrammed into the machine through special  
softwares at the factory. This preprogrammed volt-  
age is the best average voltage for the procedure at  
the given wire feed speed. If the wire feed speed is  
changed on the wire feeder, the voltage automatical-  
ly changes with it.  
In some cases, the operator may want to change the

SPINDLE  
The reel stand provides two mounting locations for  
the 2 inch diameter wire reel spindle to accommo-  
date various reel sizes. Each mounting location con-  
sists of a tube in the center of the reel stand, and a  
locating pin on the right side (viewed from the front)  
of the reel stand. The bolt, used with a plain washer  
and lock washer, slides through the tube from the left  
side of the reel stand. The large plain washer is  
placed between the wire spindle hub and the reel  
stand. The bolt should be threaded into the wire  
spindle such that the locating pin aligns with the  
largest of the three holes (the hole that is not  
recessed) in the back side of the wire spindle base.

1. With the K1504-1 coil reel mounted on to the 2 in.  
(51 mm) spindle (or with reel laying flat on the  
floor) loosen the spinner nut and remove the reel  
cover. See Figure B.5.  
CAUTION  
Always be sure the free end of the coil is securely  
held while the tie wires are being cut and until the  
wire is feeding through the drive rolls. Failure to do  
this will result in “backlashing” of the coil, which may  
tangle the wire. A tangled coil will not feed so it must  
either be untangled or discarded.  
2. Before cutting the tie wires, place the coil of elec-  
trode on the reel so it unwinds from the bottom as  
the reel rotates. The slots in the cardboard liner  
should align over the spring loaded arms.

8. Engage the upper drive rolls if they are in the  
“open” position and close pressure door.  
1. Turn the reel or spool until the free end of the  
electrode is accessible.  
To set drive roll pressure, see Drive Roll Pressure  
Setting.  
2. While tightly holding the electrode, cut off the bent  
end and straighten the first 6 in. (150 mm). Cut  
off the first 1 in. (25 mm). (If the electrode is not  
properly straightened, it may not feed or may jam  
causing a “birdnest”.)  
DRIVE ROLL PRESSURE  
SETTING  
3. Insert the free end through the incoming guide.  
The Power Feed 10 pressure is factory pre-set to  
about position “2” as shown on the pressure indicator  
on the front of the feedplate door. This is an approxi-  
mate setting.  
4. Press the Cold Feed Switch while pushing the  
electrode into the incoming wire guide.  
WARNING  
The optimum drive roll pressure varies with type of  
wire, surface condition, lubrication, and hardness.  
Too much pressure could cause “birdnesting”, but  
too little pressure could cause wire feed slippage with  
load and/or acceleration. The optimum drive roll set-  
ting can be determined as follows:  
If feeding with the Gun Trigger, the electrode and  
wire drive may be electrically “HOT”.  
-----------------------------------------------------------  
5. Feed the electrode through the gun.  
1. Press end of gun against a solid object that is  
electrically isolated from the welder output and  
press the gun trigger for several seconds.  
6. Adjust the brake tension with the thumbscrew on  
the spindle hub, until the reel turns freely but with  
little or no overrun when wire feeding is stopped.  
Do not overtighten.  
2. If the wire “birdnests”, jams, or breaks at the drive  
roll, the drive roll pressure is too great. Back the  
pressure setting out one turn, run new wire  
through the gun, and repeat above steps.  
DRIVE ROLL KIT INSTALLATION  
(KP1505-[])  
3. If the only result is drive roll slippage, disengage  
the gun, pull the gun cable forward about 6 in.  
(150 mm). There should be a slight waviness in  
the exposed wire. If there is no waviness, the  
pressure is too low. Increase the pressure setting  
one turn, reconnect the gun, tighten locking clamp  
and repeat the above steps.  
1. Turn off welding power source.  
2. Pull open pressure door to expose rolls and wire  
guides.  
3. Remove outer wire guide by turning knurled  
thumb screws counterclockwise to unscrew them  
from Feedplate.  
PROCEDURE FOR SETTING  
ANGLE OF FEEDPLATE  
4. Remove the drive rolls, if any are installed, by  
pulling straight off the shaft. Remove the inner  
guide.  
1. Loosen the clamping collar screw using a 3/16 in.  
Allen wrench. The clamping collar screw is  
accessed from the bottom of the feedplate. It is  
the screw which is perpendicular to the feeding  
direction.  
5. Insert the inner wire guide, groove side out, over  
the two locating pins in the feedplate.  
6. Install each drive roll by pushing over the shaft  
until it butts up against the locating shoulder on  
the drive roll shaft. (Do not exceed maximum wire  
size rating of the wire drive).  
2. Rotate feedplate to the desired angle and tighten  
clamping collar screw.

and red for about 30 seconds before the wire drive  
will automatically reset. At that time, the wire drive  
will issue a shutdown over command to the Control  
Box that will return the system to normal operation.  
The wire drive will force its STATUS light to solid  
green.  
WIRE FEED OVERLOAD  
PROTECTION  
The wire drive has solid-state overload protection of  
the wire drive motor. If the wire drive motor becomes  
overloaded for an extended period of time the wire  
drive will issue a shutdown command to the Control  
Box and force its STATUS light to blink between  
green and red. The Control Box turns off the power  
source, wire feed and gas solenoid. The status light  
on the wire drive will continue to blink between green  
Overloads can result from improper tip size, liner,  
drive rolls, or guide tubes, obstructions or bends in  
the gun cable, feeding wire that is larger than the  
rated capacity of the feeder or any other factors that  
would impede normal wire feeding.

K1542-6 M PANEL  
The M Panel provides a large toggle switch selection  
of three power source modes. The upper position  
selects the generic CV/MIG mode from the power  
source, the middle position selects the CV/FLUX  
CORED mode, and the lower position selects the  
CC/STICK/GOUGE mode. Arc control is accom-  
plished through the use of the ARC CONTROL  
potentiometer. The arc control value is actually a trim  
with zero being the nominal and the scale ranging  
from (-10) to (+10). Preflow, postflow, and spot time  
default to zero or off. Run in defaults to the minimum  
value, or weld speed depending on the position of its  
associated DIP switch. See Installation section for  
DIP switch settings. Burnback defaults to the on  
board trimmer adjustment.  
DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION OF  
OPTIONAL CONTROL BOX PANELS  
K1542-5 DUAL PROCEDURE PANEL  
The Dual Procedure Panel provides a fixed large tog-  
gle switch or the use of a gun switch for the selection  
of either of two procedures. The upper position of the  
switch selects PROCEDURE A, while the lower  
selects PROCEDURE B. The middle position selects  
the GUN switch, in which case the procedure is  
determined by the position of the switch located at  
the gun.  
NOTE: Due to the nature of fixed position switches,  
potentiometers, and default values, this option does  
not allow the mode, arc control, timers, or burnback  
values to be included in dual procedure or memory  
information. They are overridden by the fixed values.  
NOTE: Due to the nature of fixed position switches,  
this option does not allow the indication of a remotely  
selected procedure. When in the gun mode there is  
no provision to indicate, at the Control Box, which  
procedure has been remotely selected (at the gun).  
CC/STICK/GOUGE Mode  
Installation is as follows:  
1. Turn off power.  
Selecting the CC/STICK/GOUGE mode on this panel  
automatically energizes the output terminals on the  
power source, making the power source immediately  
ready to weld. In the CC modes, the output current is  
set by the AMPS control, and the VOLTS/TRIM  
adjustment has no effect in this mode. In this mode,  
the ARC CONTROL adjusts the arc force. Increasing  
the ARC CONTROL setting increases the arc force,  
making the arc more harsh but less likely to stick.  
Decreasing the ARC CONTROL setting decreases  
the arc force, making the arc softer and smoother.  
2. Remove the two screws from the front of the  
blank option panel at the location you choose to  
install your new option, (middle or top), of the  
Control Box cabinet. Save the screws, discard  
the old panel or save for future use.

ACCESSORIES  
Constant Voltage (CV/MIG and CV/Flux Cored)  
Procedures  
Display - Displays the value or status of the active  
parameter.  
When in this mode, the ARC CONTROL adjusts the  
inductance. (This adjustment is often referred to as  
“pinch”. Inductance is inversely proportional to  
pinch.) Increasing the ARC CONTROL setting  
decreases the inductance, which results in the arc  
getting colder and pinched tighter. Decreasing the  
ARC CONTROL setting increases the inductance,  
which results in the arc getting wider (reduced pinch).  
Available Modes - CV/MIG  
CV/ FLUX CORED  
CC/STICK CRISP  
CC/STICK SOFT  
Due to the nature of the system, the following feature  
is required for safety reasons. Upon entering any  
constant current (CC) mode, the right encoder,  
labeled VOLTS, TRIM, on the Display/Control Panel  
acts as a “soft” contactor switch. The encoder knob  
must be turned CW at least 45° to activate the output  
(turning CCW 45° deactivates the output). This pre-  
vents the output from inadvertently becoming “hot”  
when scrolling through the weld modes. The excep-  
tion to this rule is when the weld mode is entered by  
a change in procedure (using a memory panel such  
as the K1542-9 Memory/Dual Procedure panel). In  
this case, the state of the contactor is recalled as it  
was left when the procedure was exited.  
Installation is as follows:  
1. Turn off power.  
2. Remove the two screws from the front of the  
blank option panel at the location you choose to  
install your new option (bottom) of the Control  
Box cabinet. Save the screws, discard the old

that direction, until the switch is released. When the  
indicator reaches its upper or lower limit, advancing  
ceases until the direction of the switch is changed.  
Due to the nature of the system, the following feature  
is required for safety reasons. Upon entering any  
constant current (CC) mode, the right encoder,  
labeled VOLTS, TRIM, on the Display/Control Panel  
acts as a “soft” contactor switch. The encoder knob  
must be turned CW at least 45° to activate the output  
(turning CCW 45° deactivates the output). This pre-  
vents the output from inadvertently becoming “hot”  
when scrolling through the weld modes. The excep-  
tion to this rule is when the weld mode is entered by  
a change in procedure (using a memory panel such  
as the K1542-9 Memory/Dual Procedure panel). In  
this case, the state of the contactor is recalled as it  
was left when the procedure was exited.  
GMAW Pulse Procedures  
In these procedures, the actual voltage greatly  
depends on the waveform used. The peak currents,  
background currents, rise times, fall times, and pulse  
times all affect the actual voltage. The actual voltage  
for a given wire feed speed is not directly predictable  
unless the waveform is known. In this case, it is not  
practical to preset an actual voltage for the proce-  
dure. Instead, an arc length adjustment is provided.  
The machine “knows” what the best arc length is at  
the given wire feed speed but allows the operator to  
change it.  
In the CC modes, the output current is set by the  
AMPS control, and the VOLTS/TRIM adjustment has  
no effect in this mode. In this mode, the ARC  
CONTROL adjusts the arc force. Increasing the ARC  
CONTROL setting increases the arc force, making  
the arc more harsh but less likely to stick. Decreasing  
the ARC CONTROL setting decreases the arc force,  
making the arc softer and smoother.  
The arc length trim (usually referred to simply as  
“trim”) can be adjusted between 0.500 and 1.500 on  
the Control Box’s VOLTS/TRIM display. A trim of  
1.000 means that no adjustments will be made to the  
preset arc lengths. A trim setting less than 1.000  
decreases the preset arc lengths. The arc length trim  
adjustment is factored in at all wire feed speed set-  
tings. Increasing the trim by 10 percent at a given  
wire feed speed also increases all the other arc  
length trim settings of the procedure by 10 percent.  
Parameter Selection  
Lincoln Power Wave power sources utilizes a control  
scheme known as adaptive control in all pulse  
modes. Because the Power Wave utilizes adaptive  
control, it can adjust the pulsing parameters based  
on changes in the arc due to changes in the electrical  
sitckout of the electrode. (Electrical stickout is the  
distance from the contact to the workpiece.) The  
Power Wave is optimized for use with a 0.75 in. stick-  
out. The adaptive behavior is programmed to support  
a stickout range from 0.5 in. to 1.25 in. In the low and  
high end of the wire feed speed ranges of most  
processes, the adaptive behavior may be restricted.  
This is a physical restriction due to reaching the edge  
of the operating range for the process.  
The PARAMETER SELECT switch is a momentary  
large three position toggle switch that defaults to the  
center (off) position. Moving the switch up advances  
the parameter indicator in the upward direction, down  
advances it in the downward direction. Holding the  
switch in either direction will result in the indicator  
advancing at a high rate of speed in that direction,  
until the switch is released. When the indicator  
reaches its upper or lower limit, advancing ceases  
until the direction of the switch is changed.  
Parameter Adjustment  
The value of the active parameter, as defined by the  
parameter indicator, is displayed on the parameter  
display. The PARAMETER SET switch is a momen-  
tary large three position toggle switch that defaults to  
the center (off) position. Moving the switch up  
advances the displayed value in the positive direc-  
tion, down advances it in the negative direction.  
Holding the switch in either direction will result in the  
displayed value advancing at a high rate of speed in  
The ARC CONTROL adjustment allows the pulse fre-  
quency to be varied. Increasing the ARC CONTROL  
causes the frequency setting to increase, while  
decreasing the ARC CONTROL causes the frequen-  
cy to decrease. Varying the ARC CONTROL, and  
hence, the pulse frequency, affects the droplet trans-  
fer and allows fine-tuning for different welding  
positions.

ACCESSORIES  
Installation is as follows:  
1. Turn off power.  
Dual Procedure Selection  
The procedure switch is used to scroll the indicator to  
select PROCEDURE A, PROCEDURE B, or the  
GUN switch. When the GUN switch is selected, the  
procedure is determined by the position of the switch  
located at the gun. Under this condition, indicators  
will show that the gun switch has been selected and  
also which procedure the gun switch is requesting.  
2. Remove the two screws from the front of the  
blank option panel at the location you choose to  
install your new option (bottom) of the Control  
Box cabinet. Save the screws, discard the old  
panel or save for future use.  
3. Tilt the new option panel away from the front  
opening of the Control Box cabinet. Plug the  
electrical connector into the proper connector on  
the right side of the main printed circuit board  
(12 pin). Make sure the connector latches in  
place.  
Memory Selection  
RECALL - When a memory key is depressed, its indi-  
cator comes on and its contents are copied to the  
active procedure. As long as no changes are made  
to the contents of that procedure, the memory indica-  
tor will be on any time that procedure is active. This  
indicates that their contents are the same. Any  
change to that procedure will cause the memory indi-  
cator to go off, indicating that they are no longer  
equal.  
4. Position the new panel, taking care not to dam-  
age the connections and the printed circuit board  
on the back.  
5. Align the screw holes, replace the two screws  
and tighten.  
SAVE - The save mode allows “hard” memories to be  
changed. Pressing the SAVE key will light the save  
indicator, and enter the save mode. In the save  
mode, the indicator for the memory that was the  
source of the active procedure’s contents will blink,  
whether their contents are still equal or not. This fea-  
ture allows the user to choose to save an active pro-  
cedure back to its source, or some other location.  
K1542-9 DUAL PROCEDURE/MEMORY PANEL  
(SMALL PANEL)  
The Dual Procedure/Memory panel provides for the  
selection of either of two procedures, or a gun switch  
for remote selection of the procedure. In addition,  
there are six permanent memory storage locations  
for saving commonly used procedures. Procedures A  
and B are “soft” type memories that record any  
changes made to them. The six memory locations  
are “hard” or more permanent type memories. Any  
changes made must be consciously saved back to  
them. Furthermore, each memory contains only one  
procedure, therefore any combination of memories  
may be recalled to procedure A and B.  
To complete the save transaction requires the selec-  
tion of one of the memory keys. When the memory  
key is pressed in the save mode, it’s contents are  
overwritten with the contents of the active procedure.  
This means that the contents of the memory location  
and the active procedure are now equal, and thereo-  
re, by definition, each of their indicators will be lit,  
and the save mode will be exited. To exit the save  
mode without saving, depress the save key a second  
time. This feature allows the operator to determine  
the source of the active procedure’s contents without  
actually overwriting it.

CONTROL BOX -- PC BOARD ADJUSTMENTS  
CONTROL BOX PANELS -- SET UP  
CONTROLS DESCRIPTION  
The Control Box Mother board provides the capability  
to adjust some wire feeding parameters as follows:  
Certain large option panels can modify the set up  
parameters Preflow, Run In, Arc Control, Burnback,  
Postflow, and Crater. The meaning of those parame-  
ters, and their maximum and minimum values, follows.  
Acceleration: The motor acceleration can be varied  
in five steps, from slow to fast. See “Setting DIP  
Switches in the Control Box” section.  
Burnback: For the options which cannot adjust the  
Burnback set up parameter (CV/G and M panels) a  
PC board adjustment (trimmer R5) is provided. The  
range is 0.0 to 0.25 seconds, increasing in the clock-  
wise direction. This is ignored by options which have  
the ability to adjust Burnback (MX2 and MSP2 pan-  
els).  
Preflow - Time delay after the trigger is pulled, but  
before weld starts, during which shielding gas flows.  
Weld start is defined as the time when both the power  
source is energized and the Wire Drive begins feeding  
wire. Adjustable from 0.0 (Off) to 2.5 seconds in 0.1s  
increments.  
Run In - Wire feed speed during arc starting. Wire  
Drive will feed wire at the Run In speed for one sec-  
ond, or until weld current flows. Low speed gear  
range: Off (Run In speed equals weld wire feed  
speed) or adjustable from 50 to 150 IPM (1.25 to 3.80  
MPM). High speed gear range: Off (Run In speed  
equals weld wire feed speed) or adjustable from 75 to  
150 IPM (2.00 to 3.80 MPM). NOTE: Run In settings  
over 150 IPM produce strange display values used for  
troubleshooting and service. If encountered, reset Run  
In to 150 IPM or less.  
Run In: For the options which cannot adjust the Run  
In set up parameter (CV/G and M panels) a PC board  
DIP switch setting is provided. In one position, the run  
in speed will be the minimum Wire Drive WFS. At the  
other setting, run in will occur at the same speed as  
set on the WFS knob. This DIP switch setting is  
ignored by options which have the ability to adjust  
Run In (MX2 and MSP2 panels). See “Setting DIP  
Switches in the Control Box” section.

operator to adjust his Volts in synergic and non-syn-  
ergic CV modes. Procedure B could be set up with  
different limits. Limits are absolute -- they will over-  
ride values stored in the memories. Note that limits  
do not apply to set up parameters, such a Preflow  
and Arc Control.  
CONTROL BOX -- SETTING OPERATING LIMITS  
Upper and lower operating limits can be set for the  
WFS/Amps setting and the Volts/Trim setting. Doing  
so requires knowledge of how to set the limits, and  
access to the PC board in the Control Box.  
There are two independent sets of limits, Procedure  
A limits and Procedure B limits. If a DP/M door  
option is installed, the A and B limits must be set  
independently. If there is no DP/M door option, the  
Control Box defaults to Procedure A, and only  
Procedure A limits can be set.  
OPERATION WITH PREVIOUS  
SOFTWARE VERSION  
The operation of the previous Control Box software  
version (S24004-2) is different than described earlier  
in this section. The differences are as follows:  
With system power on, select the weld mode for  
which you want to set limits. If a Dual Procedure  
option is installed, select the procedure A. Turn the  
system power off. Remove the two screws holding  
the Control/Display panel to the Control Box, but do  
not unplug it. Tilt the panel down to allow access to  
DIP switches S1-1, S2-6 and S2-7. (See “Setting DIP  
Switches in the Control Box” section.) Do not allow  
the panel to hang by the wiring harness.  
• The Memory/Dual Procedure panel is not a valid  
option.  
• The MX (K1542-1) and MSP (K1542-8) are are  
used in place of the MX2 and MSP2 options.  
• Limits cannot be set.  
The key difference in the MX/MSP panels, compared  
to the MX2/MSP2 panels, is the Spot function. In the  
old software, a 0.1 to 2.5 second Spot function was  
available on these two panels. No Crater function  
was available (Crater replaced Spot in the graphics  
on these two panels).  
Determine if the Wire Drive is set up for low or high  
speed. If low speed, S1-1 should be off. If high  
speed, set S1-1 to on.  
To adjust the lower limit, set S2-6 to on. Turn the  
power on and adjust the WFS/Amps and Volts/Trim  
knobs to the desired lower limits. Note: You will not  
be able to adjust the lower limit outside of the mini-  
mum and maximum wire feed speed of the Wire  
Drive, nor above the upper limit. Turn the system  
power off. Return S2-6 to off.  
An upgrade kit is available to change the software  
from S24004-2 to the latest version of Control Box  
software. Once the upgrade is done, the Dual  
Procedure/ Memory panel becomes a valid option,  
limits can be set, and Spot is replaced by Crater.  
To adjust the upper limit, set S2-7 to on. Turn the  
power on and adjust the WFS/Amps and Volts/Trim  
knobs to the desired upper limits. Note: You will not  
be able to adjust the upper limit outside of the mini-  
mum and maximum wire feed speed of the Wire  
Drive, nor below the lower limit. Turn the system  
power off. Return S2-7 to off.  
If a Dual Procedure panel is installed, repeat the  
above procedure with the Procedure B selected.  
When done, attach the Control/Display panel to the  
Control Box. The machine is now ready for normal  
operation with the new limits.  
CONTROL BOX -- USING OPERATING LIMITS  
Once set, limits apply to all weld modes. Limiting  
Procedure A to 200 to 300 inches per minute, for  
example, limits the ability of the operator to adjust his  
WFS in pulse, CV and FCAW weld modes. Limiting  
the Volts to 23.0 to 24.5 would limit the ability of the

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE  
DRIVE ROLLS AND GUIDE TUBES  
After feeding every coil of wire, inspect the drive roll  
section. Clean as necessary. Do not use a solvent  
for cleaning the drive rolls because it may wash the  
lubricant out of the bearing. The drive rolls and Inner  
Wire Guides are stamped with the wire sizes they will  
feed. If a wire size other than that stamped on the  
roll(s) is to be used, the roll(s) and Inner Wire Guides  
must be changed.  
WIRE DRIVE MOTOR AND GEARBOX  
Every year inspect the gearbox and coat the gear  
teeth with grease. Do not use graphite grease.  
Refer to the Troubleshooting section for disassem-  
bly of Drive Motor and Wire Feed Assembly.  
GUN AND CABLE MAINTENANCE  
All drive rolls have two identical grooves. The rolls  
may be flipped over to use the other groove.

MODULAR INVERTER  
BASED WELDING SYSTEM  
The Welding Network is an assembly of  
welding equipment joined together by a  
common network communication cable.  
These individual welding components con-  
sist of a power source (Power Wave 455), a  
user interface (Power Feed 10 Control Box)  
and a modular wire drive (Power Feed 10  
Wire Drive). Each discrete element in the  
system is designed to “talk” with the other  
system components so that all information  
is shared and the entire system is in sync.  
This communication and shared information  
network lays the groundwork for a system  
with superior welding performance and  
capabilities.  
SYSTEM DIAGRAM A  
This basic system utilizes two physical  
pieces of equipment. Refer to Figure E.1.  
The power source (Power Wave 455) and  
the combination Control Box and wire drive  
(Power Feed 10) are the two circuit ele-  
ments. Note the Control Box (user inter-  
face) is attached to, and internally connect-  
ed to, the wire drive unit.  
The communication cable is depicted by the  
heavy black connector line. PC board

POWER SOURCE  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The Power Wave 455 is an inverter based  
welding power source that is designed to be  
part of a modular, multi-process welding  
system. It is a high performance, digitally  
controlled inverter capable of complex,  
high-speed waveform control. With the  
appropriate modular components it can sup-  
port constant current, constant voltage and  
pulse welding processes. The output rating  
is 450 amps at 38 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 voltages for the con-  
trol 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 resul-  
tant DC voltage is applied through the  
reconnect switches to the input capacitors  
located on the switch boards. The control  
board monitors the voltage across the  
capacitors. When the capacitors have  
charged to an acceptable level, the control  
board signals the input board to energize  
the main input contactor making all three  
phases of input power, without current limit-  
ing, available to the input capacitors. At  
this point, the Power Wave 455 is in the  
“Run Mode” of operation. If the capacitors  
become under or overvoltage, the control  
board will signal the input board to de-  
energize the main input contactor, and the  
Power Wave 455 will be disabled.  
INPUT VOLTAGE AND  
PRECHARGE  
The Power Wave 455 can be connected for  
a variety of three phase voltages. Refer to  
Figure E.4. The initial input power is  
applied to the Power Wave 455 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 vari-  
ous secondary voltages developed by the  
#1 auxiliary transformer are applied to the  
input board, the power board rectifier and  
the fan motor. The 115 VAC secondary

RECEPTACLE  
Each switch board feeds current to a sepa-  
rate, oppositely wound primary winding of  
the main transformer. The reverse direc-  
tions of current flow through the main trans-  
former 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 primary currents  
are monitored by the current transformer  
(CT). If the primary currents become abnor-  
mally high, the control board will shut off the  
IGBTs, thus disabling machine output. The  
DC current flow through each primary wind-  
ing is clamped back to each respective  
input capacitor when the IGBTs are turned  
off. This is needed due to the inductance of  
the transformer primary winding. The firing  
of the two switch boards occurs during  
halves of a 50 microsecond interval, creat-  
ing a constant 20 kHz output.  
SWITCH BOARDS AND  
MAIN TRANSFORMER  
There are two switch boards in the Power  
Wave 455, each containing an input capaci-  
tor and insulated gate bipolar transistor  
(IGBT) switching circuitry. Refer to Figure  
E.5. 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 voltages (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  
supplying pulsed DC current to the main  
transformer primary windings. See IGBT

this section.

CONTROL BOARD  
The control board performs the primary  
interfacing functions to establish and main-  
tain output control of the Power Wave 455.  
Refer to Figure E.6. The control board  
sends and receives digital command infor-  
mation 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 feedback infor-  
mation it receives from the current sensor  
and voltage sensing leads. The appropriate  
The control board also monitors the ther-  
mostats, main transformer primary current,  
and capacitor voltage, and activates either  
the thermal light and/or the status light.  
Dependent upon the fault situation, the con-  
trol board will either disable or reduce  
machine output, or de-energize the main  
input contactor.

THEORY OF OPERATION  
THERMAL PROTECTION  
OVER CURRENT  
PROTECTION  
Two normally closed (NC) thermostats pro-  
tect the machine from excessive operating  
temperatures. These thermostats are wired  
in series and are connected 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 pro-  
duction machines this thermostat is located  
on the output choke) Excessive tempera-  
tures may be caused by a lack of cooling air  
or operating the machine beyond its duty  
cycle or output rating. If excessive operat-  
ing temperatures should occur, the ther-  
mostats will prevent output from the  
machine. The yellow thermal light, located  
on the front of the machine, will be illuminat-  
ed. The thermostats are self-resetting once  
the machine cools sufficiently. If the ther-  
mostat 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 corrected. On later production  
machines (above code 10500) the cooling  
fan runs only when necessary. The F.A.N.  
(fan as needed) system is controlled 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 average current decreases to  
under 50 amps.  
UNDER/OVER VOLTAGE  
PROTECTION  
A protective circuit is included on the  
control board to monitor the voltage across  
the input capacitors. In the event that 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 con-  
nected for high input voltage operation.)  
2. Voltage across a capacitor exceeds  
390 volts. (High line surges or improp-  
er input voltage connections.)  
3. Voltage across a capacitor is under 70  
volts. (Due to improper input voltage  
connections.)  
PROTECTIVE CIRCUITS  
4. Internal component damage.  
Protective circuits are designed into the  
Power Wave 455 to sense trouble and shut  
down the machine before damage occurs to  
the machine's internal components.

OPERATION  
Example B shows the IGBT in an active  
mode. When the gate signal , 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 conduct and supply current to the  
circuit components coupled to the source.  
Current will flow through the conducting  
IGBT to downstream components as long  
as the positive gate signal is present. This is  
similar to turning ON a light switch.  
An IGBT is a type of transistor. IGBT are  
semiconductors well suited for high frequen-  
cy switching and high current applications.  
Example A in Figure E.8 shows an IGBT in  
passive mode. There is no gate signal, zero  
volts relative to the source, and therefore,  
no current flow. The drain terminal of the  
IGBT may be connected to a voltage sup-  
ply; but since there is no conduction, the cir-  
cuit will not supply current to components

microsecond. 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 con-  
ducting, the output power is minimized.  
PULSE WIDTH  
MODULATION  
1
The term Pulse Width Modulation is used to  
describe how much time is devoted to con-  
duction 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 indicates that  
more power is present.  
MINIMUM OUTPUT  
By controlling the duration of the gate sig-  
nal, the IGBT is turned on and off for differ-  
ent durations during the cycle. The top  
drawing in Figure E.9 shows the minimum  
output signal possible over a 50-microsec-  
ond time period.

In addition to the large and smaller size  
options, there is a Display Panel which is  
standard on the Control Box unit. The  
Display Panel, typically installed in the  
upper position of the Control Box assembly,  
houses the encoder controls and the STA-  
TUS LED. The controls are used to adjust  
the wire feed speed, current, voltage and  
trim parameters. The STATUS LED is  
designed to blink a red and green code if a  
fault should occur.  
CONTROL BOX  
(USER INTERFACE)  
The system Control Box is the main entry  
point for all system parameters, and from it  
the user can control both power source and  
wire feeder functions. Refer to Figure E.10.  
The user interface motherboard is the heart  
of the Control Box. Dependent upon the  
option panels and the information received  
through the network cable, it directs the  
entire system as to the options, wire feed  
speed, and weld cycle requirements and  
parameters.  
The internal Network Connector is used  
when the Control Box is mounted on either  
the power source or the wire drive units.  
See System Diagram A and System  
Diagram B in this section.  
The options are divided into two physical  
size categories. The smaller option, typical-  
ly installed in the middle section of the con-  
trol box, is dedicated to dual procedure,  
head selection, and memory related func-  
tions. The larger, or bottom section, is  
reserved for control of the setup functions  
for the power source (Power Wave 455)  
and wire drive (Power Feeder 10) such as  
mode, arc control, run in and timer set up.  
The optional Network Input and Output  
receptacles are utilized when the Control  
Box assembly is mounted independently  
from both the wire drive and power source.  
See System Diagram C in this section.  
There are two DIP switch banks located on  
the motherboard. They are labeled S1 and  
S2 and are used to set display, trigger,  
acceleration and run in functions.

the feed drive. The feed drive control board  
then sends the signals to energize the  
active components such as the solenoid  
and wire drive motor. The tach feedback  
signal is processed on the control board  
which regulates the motor armature voltage  
so as to maintain the required wire feed  
speed.  
The Power Feed 10 is a four roll, high per-  
formance, digitally controlled, modular wire  
feeder that operates on 40 VDC input  
power. It is designed to be part of a modu-  
lar, multi-process welding system. Refer to  
Figure E.11.  
When the gun trigger is pulled, the voltage  
sense board relays the electrode sense sig-  
nal to the input network receptacle for pro-  
cessing by the Control Box.  
Network communications, intelligence, PC  
board input power, and arc voltage feed-  
back is received and transmitted through  
the input network receptacle. The internal  
network connector plug is utilized when the  
Control Box is mounted directly to the wire  
drive unit. See System Diagram A in this  
section. The optional network output recep-  
tacle is used when the system components  
are connected in a daisy-chain fashion.  
The optional shutdown feature can be  
implemented as a means of stopping the  
wire feeding in the event that the water  
cooler (if used) is not turned on.  
The STATUS LED is designed to blink a red  
and green code if a fault should occur.  
The feed drive control board processes the  
information it receives from the various user  
operated switches such as the gun trigger,  
2-step/4-step, and cold inch switches and  
sends this information to other system com-  
ponents. This information is evaluated and  
There is one DIP switch bank located on the  
wire drive control board. It is labeled S1  
and is used to set gear ratios, arc polarity,  
and for network identification purposes.

HOW TO USE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE  
WARNING  
Service and Repair should only be performed by Lincoln Electric Factory Trained  
Personnel. Unauthorized repairs performed on this equipment may result in danger to  
the technician and machine operator and will invalidate your factory warranty. For your  
safety and to avoid electrical shock, please observe all safety notes and precautions  
detailed throughout this manual.  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
This Troubleshooting Guide is provided to  
help you locate and repair possible machine  
malfunctions. Simply follow the three-step  
procedure listed below.  
Step 3. RECOMMENDED COURSE OF  
ACTION.  
The last column labeled “RECOMMENDED  
COURSE OF ACTION” lists the most likely  
components that may have failed in your  
machine. It also specifies the appropriate  
test procedure to verify that the subject  
component is either good or bad. If there  
are a number of possible components,  
check the components in the order listed to  
eliminate one possibility at a time until you  
locate the cause of your problem.  
Step 1. LOCATE PROBLEM (SYMPTOM).  
Look under the column labeled “PROBLEM  
(SYMPTOMS)”. This column describes  
possible symptoms that the machine may  
exhibit. Find the listing that best describes  
the symptom that the machine is exhibiting.  
Symptoms are grouped into the following  
categories: function problems, feeding prob-  
lems, and welding problems.  
All of the referenced test procedures  
referred to in the Troubleshooting Guide are  
described in detail at the end of this chap-  
ter. Refer to the Troubleshooting and Repair  
Table of Contents to locate each specific  
Test Procedure. All of the specified test  
points, components, terminal strips, etc. can  
be found on the referenced electrical wiring  
diagrams and schematics. Refer to the  
Electrical Diagrams Section Table of  
Contents to locate the appropriate diagram.  
Step 2. PERFORM EXTERNAL TESTS.  
The second column labeled “POSSIBLE  
AREAS OF MISADJUSTMENT(S)” lists the  
obvious external possibilities that may con-  
tribute to the machine symptom. Perform  
these tests/checks in the order listed. In  
general, these tests can be conducted with-  
out removing the case wrap-around cover.

-------------------------------------------------  
Do Not Destroy  
- If you don’t have a  
CAUTION  
wrist strap, touch an unpainted, 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.  
Sometimes machine failures appear to be  
due to PC board failures. These problems  
can sometimes be traced to poor electrical  
connections. To avoid problems when trou-  
bleshooting and replacing PC boards,  
please use the following procedure:  
- Tools which come in contact with the PC  
board must be either conductive, anti-static  
or static-dissipative.  
-------------------------------------------------  
- Remove the PC board from the static-  
shielding bag and place it directly into the  
equipment. Don’t set the PC board on or  
near paper, plastic or cloth which could  
have a static charge. If the PC board cannot  
be installed immediately, put it back in the  
static-shielding bag.  
1. Determine to the best of your technical  
ability that the PC board is the most  
likely component causing the failure  
symptom.  
2. Check for loose connections at the PC  
board to assure that the PC board is  
properly connected.  
- If the PC board uses protective shorting  
jumpers, don’t remove them until installation  
is complete.  
3. If the problem persists, replace the sus-  
pect PC board using standard practices  
to avoid static electrical damage and  
electrical shock. Read the warning  
inside the static resistant bag and per-  
form the following procedures:  
- If you return a PC board to the Lincoln  
Electric Company for credit, it must be in  
the static-shielding bag. This will prevent  
further damage and allow proper failure  
analysis.

harness, junction blocks, and termi-  
nal strips.  
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.  
NOTE: It is desirable to have a spare  
(known good) PC board available for PC  
board troubleshooting.  
NOTE: Allow the machine to heat up so  
that all electrical components can reach  
their operating temperature.  
6. Always indicate that this procedure was  
followed when warranty reports are to  
be submitted.  
5. Remove the replacement PC board and  
substitute it with the original PC board  
to recreate the original problem.  
NOTE: Following this procedure and writing  
on the warranty report, “INSTALLED AND  
SWITCHED PC BOARDS TO VERIFY  
PROBLEM,” will help avoid denial of legiti-  
mate PC board warranty claims.  
NOTE: Do not substitute boards that show  
physical damage.  
a. If the original problem does not reap-  
pear by substituting the original  
board, then the PC board was not  
the problem. Continue to look for  
bad connections in the control wiring

the bottom center 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  
capacitor 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 capaci-  
tor terminals. The voltage should be  
zero. If any voltage remains, repeat the  
discharge procedure.  
5. If any voltage is present, proceed to  
Step #6. If no voltage is present, the  
capacitors are discharged.  
NOTE: Voltage present after the discharge  
has been performed is an abnormal condi-  
tion and may indicate a switch board  
problem.

TEST DESCRIPTION  
This test will help determine if the “power section” of the switch boards are functioning  
correctly. This test will NOT indicate if the entire PC board is functional. This resis-  
tance test is preferable to a voltage test with the machine energized because these  
boards can be damaged easily. In addition, it is dangerous to work on these boards  
with the machine energized.

8. At conclusion of test, turn the power off  
and set the DIP switch to its original posi-  
tion.  
1. With power off, locate DIP switch bank  
S2 on the PF-10 Control PC board.  
(There are 8 switches, number 1 on the  
left, through number 8).  
PROCEDURE TO REPAIR IF  
METERS ARE OUT OF RANGE  
2. Set switch 8 to the up position.  
3. Connect a resistive load between the out-  
put block of the PF-10 and the work ter-  
minal of the PW-455 machine.  
If the measured voltage is not within the  
acceptable range, the Control PC board  
must be replaced. The Control PC board  
can not be calibrated.  
4. Turn machine on.  
5. Using the Set Control on the PF-10, set  
the display to mode 200. Turn the right  
knob of the PF-10 to energize the output.  
6. Adjust the resistive load and the left knob  
of the PF-10 to achieve 300A at 32v. The  
left knob will adjust the output current.  
Amps and volts will be displayed on the  
PF-10 meters.  
7. After the load condition is set, accuracy is  
measured by comparing the meter of the  
PF-10 to the master meter. At 300A,  
amperage must agree within +/-10A. At  
32V, voltage must agree within +/- 1V.  
If the measured current is not within the  
acceptable current range, adjust trimmer  
R126 on the Control PC board. R126 is  
located on the upper left corner of the  
Control PC board. If the display is still in  
error, either the Control PC board or LEM  
(Current Transducer) may be faulty.  
Perform the Current Transducer Test.

A NOTE ON VOLTAGE SENSING:  
All CV and Pulse modes utilize the electrode sense lead (lead #67) built into the control cable.  
As with any sense lead it's performance is only as good as the worst connection.  
For diagnostic purposes, an external sense lead can be used to bypass the entire electrode  
sense network. This can be accomplished by removing the front cover of the PW-455, and  
connecting a lead (20 AWG minimum) from pin 5 of the exposed 6 pin UI molex connector (P6),  
to the feedplate on the feeder.

+/- 10 Amps?**  
Depending on the magnitude of the descrepency, the current feedback  
can be calibrated. Perform the "Current Calibration Procedure".  
N
Pass  
If unable to calibrate, and the connections are OK, replace the Control PC  
Board. Please note the statement regarding test meter accuracy, and  
follow all applicable board replacement procedures when replacing this  
board.  
Fail  
Y
Does not match  
Display Value +/- 1V  
Replace the current  
Transducer.  
The Power Source Control PC Board is interpreting voltage  
correctly, but there is a bad connection in the feedback path.  
STT Performance Test Configuration (USE STT STUD)**  
GMAW (.045 Steel - 1/4" Plate)  
Mode = 117  
WFS =170 ipm  
Trim = 1.00  
Gas =CO2  
Arc Control= 0  
** Configuration may be altered based on available  
materials, but basic waveshape should remain the same.  
!!CANNOT BE TESTED WITH STATIC GRID LOAD!!  
Check connections in the electrode sense path (wire #206) from  
P20-6 on the Control PC Board to the electrode(+) stud inside of  
the PS.  
Using the Arc Scope function in  
Wave Designer / Wave Surfer, or  
an oscilloscope equiped with a  
current probe, capture an STT  
waveform, and compare it to the  
sample STT waveform (shown at  
right).  
Y
STT Machine?  
Check the work sense path (wire #202) from P20-2 on the Control  
PC Board to the Work Stud.  
N
Are the wave shapes  
similar, and does current  
drop in the middle of the  
pulse as indicated?  
The STT portion of the system  
is operating properly  
The PS Control PC Board is NOT interpreting voltage correctly.  
Y
On "-3" and higher vintage PS Control PC Boards the Voltage  
feedback can be calibrated. Perform the "Voltage Calibration  
Procedure".  
N
The STT Chopper PC Board appears to be shorted, and therefore,  
the resulting current waveform does not drop in the middle of the  
pulse as indicated in the Sample STT Waveform  
The STT Chopper PC Board appears to be "open".  
The system is monitoring and  
controlling WFS, Voltage,  
and Current correctly.  
If unable to calibrate, replace the Control PC Board. Please note the  
statement regarding test meter accuracy, and follow all applicable  
board replacement procedures when replacing this board.  
Check for 18Vac at J10 pins 1 & 4 on the STT Chopper Board.  
Does the machine  
noodle weld ( low output)?  
N
Y
Performance checks OK.  
Disconnect J10 from the STT Chopper PC Board, and make  
another test weld. If the same symptoms result, perform the STT  
chopper PCBD test. If the machine noodle welds, the problem is  
related to the control signal from the Control PC Board.  
Check for loose or broken connections. Inspect the PC board for physical  
damage  
Perform the STT Chopper Board Test.
