WARNING

Mar ‘95

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDSmay be dangerous

2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding machines

2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, andwelders having a pacemaker should consult their physicianbefore welding.

2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other healtheffects which are now not known.

2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order tominimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:

2.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Securethem with tape when possible.

2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.

2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode andwork cables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the work cable should also be on your right side.

2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close aspossible to the area being welded.

2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove theradiator pressure cap when the engine ishot.

iiSAFETYii

ARC RAYS can burn.4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover

plates to protect your eyes from sparks andthe rays of the arc when welding or observingopen arc welding. Headshield and filter lensshould conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.

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

4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammablescreening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor exposethemselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

ELECTRIC SHOCK cankill.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 bareskin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free

gloves to insulate hands.

3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your fullarea of physical contact with work and ground.

In addition to the normal safety precautions, if weldingmust be performed under electrically hazardousconditions (in damp locations or while wearing wetclothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings orscaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable oraccidental contact with the workpiece or ground) usethe following equipment:

• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.

3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomaticwelding gun are also electrically “hot”.

3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electricalconnection with the metal being welded. The connectionshould 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 andwelding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replacedamaged insulation.

3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.

3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts ofelectrode holders connected to two welders because voltagebetween the two can be the total of the open circuit voltageof both welders.

3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protectyourself from a fall should you get a shock.

3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.

FUMES AND GASEScan be dangerous.5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases

hazardous to health. Avoid breathing thesefumes and gases.When welding, keepyour head out of the fume. Use enoughventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep

fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. Whenwelding with electrodes which require specialventilation such as stainless or hard facing (seeinstructions on container or MSDS) or on lead orcadmium plated steel and other metals or coatingswhich produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure aslow as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. Inconfined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, arespirator may be required. Additional precautions arealso required when welding on galvanized steel.

5.b. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vaporscoming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors toform phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating prod-ucts.

5.c. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air andcause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

5.d. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for thisequipment and the consumables to be used, including thematerial safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow youremployer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available fromyour welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

5.e. Also see item 1.b.

Mar ‘95

WELDING SPARKS cancause fire or explosion.6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area.

If this is not possible, cover them to preventthe welding sparks from starting a fire.Remember that welding sparks and hot

materials from welding can easily go through small cracksand openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding nearhydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.

6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,special precautions should be used to prevent hazardoussituations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSIStandard Z49.1) and the operating information for theequipment being used.

6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrodecircuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contactcan cause overheating and create a fire hazard.

6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until theproper steps have been taken to insure that such procedureswill not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substancesinside. They can cause an explosion even though they havebeen “cleaned”. For information, purchase “RecommendedSafe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting ofContainers and Piping That Have Held HazardousSubstances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society(see address above).

6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting orwelding. They may explode.

6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oilfree protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wearear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in awelding area.

6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the weldingarea as practical. Work cables connected to the buildingframework or other locations away from the welding areaincrease the possibility of the welding current passingthrough lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate cir-cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chainsor cables until they fail.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉPour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructionset les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans cemanuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suiv-antes:

Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:

a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tensionquand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujourstout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nueou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sanstrous pour isoler les mains.

b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand onsoude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un planchermetallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grandepartie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.

c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câblede soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr étatdefonctionnement.

d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour lerefroidir.

e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tensiondes porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souderparce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être letotal de la tension à vide des deux machines.

f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source decourant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautionspour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet desoudage.

2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protégercontre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamaisenrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partiedu 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 appropriéainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-onnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ouquand on regarde l’arc.

b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger lapeau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement del‘arc.

c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité ausoudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.

4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc desoudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libresde l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.

5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone desoudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les

zones où l’on pique le laitier.

6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin deprévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.

7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé dela masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer unéchauffement et un risque d’incendie.

8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possiblede la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on placela masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autresendroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risquede voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev-age, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquerdes risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et descâbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.

9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôlesgalvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal quiproduit des fumeés toxiques.

10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenantd’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. Lachaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeursdu solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)ou autres produits irritants.

11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté,voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSAStandard W 117.2-1974.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POURLES MACHINES À SOUDER ÀTRANSFORMATEUR ET ÀREDRESSEUR

1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code del’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositifde montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à unebonne mise à la terre.

2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seronteffectués par un électricien qualifié.

3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debranch-er à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.

4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leurplace.

Where there is a combustible surface directly understationary or fixed electrical equipment, that surfaceshall be covered with a steel plate at least.06”(1.6mm) thick, which shall extend not less than5.90”(150mm) beyond the equipment on all sides.

LIFTING

Lift the machine by the lift bail only. The lift bail isdesigned to lift the power source only. Do not attemptto lift the Power Wave with accessories attached to it.

STACKING

Power Wave machines can be stacked to a maximumof 3 high.

The bottom machine must always be placed on afirm, secure, level surface. There is a danger ofmachines toppling over if this precaution is nottaken.

MACHINE GROUNDINGThe frame of the welder must be grounded. A groundterminal marked with the symbol is located insidethe reconnect/input access door for this purpose. Seeyour local and national electrical codes for propergrounding methods.

HIGH FREQUENCY PROTECTIONLocate the Power Wave away from radio controlledmachinery.

The normal operation of the Power Wave mayadversely affect the operation of RF controlledequipment, which may result in bodily injury ordamage to the equipment.

INPUT CONNECTION

Only a qualified electrician should connect theinput leads to the Power Wave. Connectionsshould be made in accordance with all local andnational electrical codes and the connection dia-gram located on the inside of the reconnect/inputaccess door of the machine. Failure to do so mayresult in bodily injury or death.------------------------------------------------------------------------Use a three-phase supply line. A 1.75 inch (45 mm)diameter access hole for the input supply is located onthe upper left case back next to the input access door.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONSRead this entire installation section before youstart installation.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Only qualified personnel shouldperform this installation.

• Turn the input power OFF at the

disconnect switch or fuse box before working onthis equipment. Turn off the input power to anyother equipment connected to the welding systemat the disconnect switch or fuse box before work-ing on the equipment.

• Do not touch electrically hot parts.

• Always connect the Power Wave grounding lug(located inside the reconnect input access door)to a proper safety (Earth) ground.

----------------------------------------------------------

SELECT SUITABLE LOCATIONDo not use Power Waves in outdoor environments.The Power Wave power source should not be subject-ed to falling water, nor should any parts of it be sub-merged in water. Doing so may cause improper opera-tion as well as pose a safety hazard. The best practiceis to keep the machine in a dry, sheltered area.

Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely cir-culate in through the rear louvers and out through thecase sides and bottom. Dirt, dust, or any foreign mater-ial that can be drawn into the welder should be kept ata minimum. Do not use air filters on the air intakebecause the air flow will be restricted. Failure toobserve these precautions can result in excessiveoperating temperatures and nuisance shutdowns.

Machines above code 10500 are equipped with F.A.N.(fan as needed) circuitry. The fan runs whenever theoutput is enabled, whether under loaded or open circuitconditions. The fan also runs for a period of time(approximately 5 minutes) after the output is disabled,to ensure all components are properly cooled.

If desired, the F.A.N. feature can be disabled (causingthe fan to run whenever the power source is on). Todisable F.A.N., connect leads 444 and X3A together atthe output of the solid state fan control relay, locatedon the back of the Control PC board enclosure. (SeeWiring Diagram)

Connect L1, L2, L3 and ground according to the InputSupply Connection Diagram decal located on theinside of the input access door or refer to Figure A.1on the following page.

INPUT FUSE AND SUPPLY WIRE CONSIDERATIONSRefer to the Technical Specifications at the beginningof this Installation section for recommended fuse andwire 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 tolocal or national electrical codes. Using fuses or circuitbreakers smaller than recommended may result in“nuisance” shut-offs from welder inrush currents, evenif the machine is not being used at high currents.

INPUT VOLTAGE CHANGE OVER(FOR MULTIPLE INPUT VOLTAGEMACHINES ONLY)Welders are shipped connected for the highest inputvoltage listed on the rating plate. To move this con-nection to a different input voltage, see the diagramlocated on the inside of the input access door. If themain reconnect switch or link position is placed in thewrong position, the welder will not produce outputpower.

If the Auxiliary (A) lead is placed in the wrong position,there are two possible results. If the lead is placed in aposition higher than the applied line voltage, thewelder may not come on at all. If the Auxiliary (A) leadis placed in a position lower than the applied line volt-age, the welder will not come on, and the two circuitbreakers in the reconnect area will open. If thisoccurs, turn off the input voltage, properly connect the(A) lead, reset the breakers, and try again.

NOTE: Turn main input power to the machine OFF before performing connection procedure. Failure todo so will result in damage to the machine.

WELDING WITH MULTIPLE POWERWAVES

Special care must be taken when more than onePower Wave is welding simultaneously on a singlepart. Arc blow and arc interference may occur orbe magnified.

Each power source requires a work lead from thework stud to the welding fixture. Do not combine all ofthe work leads into one lead. The welding travel direc-tions should be in the direction moving away from thework lead as shown below. Connect all of the worksense leads from each power source to the workpiece at the end of the weld.

CAUTION

For the best results when pulse welding, set the wiresize and wire feed speed the same for all the PowerWaves.

When these parameters are identical, the pulsing fre-quency will be the same, helping to stabilize the arcs.

Every welding gun requires a seperate shielding gasregulator for proper flow rate and shielding gas cover-age.

Do not attempt to supply shielding gas for two or moreguns from only one regulator.

If an anti-spatter system is in use then each gun musthave its own anti-spatter system. (See Figure A.2.)

ELECTRODE AND WORK CABLECONNECTIONSConnect a work lead of sufficient size and length (PerTable 1) between the proper output terminal on thepower source and the work. Be sure the connection tothe work makes tight metal-to-metal electrical contact.To avoid interference problems with other equipmentand to achieve the best possible operation, route allcables directly to the work or wire feeder. Avoidexcessive lengths and do not coil excess cable. Donot tightly bundle the electrode and work cablestogether.Use K1796 Coaxial welding cables wherever possible.(See Section F-5 Connection Diagram).Minimum work and electrode cables sizes are as follows:

TABLE 1(Current (60% Duty Cycle) MINIMUM COPPER

WORK CABLE SIZE AWGUp To-100 Ft. Length (30 m)

400 Amps 2/0 (67 mm2)500 Amps 3/0 (85 mm2)600 Amps 3/0 (85 mm2)

NOTE: K1796 coaxial welding cable is recommendedto reduce the cable inductance in long distance Pulseand STT applications up to 300 amps.

When using an inverter type power source like thePower Waves, use the largest welding (electrode andground) cables that are practical. At least 2/0 copperwire - even if the average output current would notnormally require it.

When pulsing, the pulse current can reach veryhigh levels. Voltage drops can become excessive,leading to poor welding characteristics, if under-sized welding cables are used.------------------------------------------------------------------------Most welding applications run with the electrode beingpositive (+). For those applications, connect one endof the electrode cable to the positive (+) output studon the power source (located beneath the springloaded output cover near the bottom of the casefront). Connect the other end of the electrode cable tothe wire drive feed plate using the stud, lockwasher,and nut provided on the wire drive feed plate. Theelectrode cable lug must be against the feed plate. Besure the connection to the feed plate makes tightmetal-to-metal electrical contact. The electrode cableshould be sized according to the specifications givenin the work cable connections section. Connect a worklead from the negative (-) power source output stud tothe work piece. The work piece connection must befirm and secure, especially if pulse welding is planned.

Excessive voltage drops caused by poor workpiece connections often result in unsatisfactorywelding performance.-------------------------------------------------------------------------When welding with the STT process, use the positiveoutput connection labeled (STT) for STT welding. (Ifdesired, other welding modes can be used on thisstud; however, their average output current will be lim-ited to 325 amps.) For non-STT processes, use thepositive output connection labeled (Power Wave), sothat the full output range of the machine is available.

Do not connect the STT and Power Wave studtogether. Paralleling the studs will bypass STT cir-cuitry and severely deteriorate STT welding perfor-mance. (See Section F-3 Connection Diagram)-------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEGATIVE ELECTRODE POLARITYWhen negative electrode polarity is required, such asin some Innershield applications, reverse the outputconnections at the power source (electrode cable tothe negative (-) stud, and work cable to the positive (+)stud).When operating with electrode polarity negative theswitch 7 must be set to ON on the Wire Feed Head PCBoard. The default setting of the switch is OFF to rep-resent positive electrode polarity.Set the Negative Polarity switch on Wire Feed HeadPC board as follows:

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Do not touch electrically live parts orelectrodes with your skin or wetclothing.

• Insulate yourself from the work andground.

• Always wear dry insulating gloves.

------------------------------------------------------------------1. Turn off power to the power source at the disconnect

switch.

2. Remove the front cover from the power source.

3. The wire feed head board is on the right side ofthe power source. Locate the 8-position DIPswitch and look for switch 7 of the DIP switch.

4. Using a pencil or other small object, slide theswitch right to the OFF position for positiveelectrode polarity. Conversely, slide the switchleft to the ON position for negative electrodepolarity.

VOLTAGE SENSINGThe best arc performance occurs when the PowerWaves have accurate data about the arc conditions.Depending upon the process, inductance within theelectrode and work lead cables can influence the volt-age apparent at the studs of the welder. Voltagesense leads improve the accuracy of the arc condi-tions and can have a dramatic effect on performance.

If the voltage sensing is enabled but the senseleads are missing or improperly connected,extremely high welding outputs may occur.------------------------------------------------------------------------Do not tightly bundle the work sense lead to the worklead.The ELECTRODE sense lead (67) is built into theK1795 control cable. The WORK sense lead (21) con-nects to the Power Wave at the four-pin connectorlocated underneath the output stud cover. Enable thevoltage sense leads as follows:

POWER WAVE / POWER FEED WIREFEEDER INTERCONNECTIONSConnect the control cable between the power sourceand wire feeder. The wire feeder connection on therobotic Power Waves is located under the springloaded output cover, near the bottom of the case front.The control cable is keyed and polarized to preventimproper connection.

For convenience sake, the electrode and controlcables can be routed behind the left or right strainreliefs (under the spring loaded output cover), andalong the channels formed into the base of the PowerWave, out the back of the channels, and then to thewire feeder.

Output connections on some Power Waves are madevia 1/2-13 threaded output studs located beneath thespring loaded output cover at the bottom of the casefront. On machines which carry the CE mark, outputconnections are made via Twist-Mate receptacles,that are also located beneath the spring loaded outputcover at the bottom of the case front.

A work lead must be run from the negative (-) powersource output connection to the work piece. The workpiece connection must be firm and secure, especiallyif pulse welding is planned.

Excessive voltage drops at the work piece con-nection often result in unsatisfactory pulse weld-ing performance.------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONTROL CABLE SPECIFICATIONSIt is recommended that genuine Lincoln control cablesbe used at all times. Lincoln cables are specificallydesigned for the communication and power needs ofthe Power Wave / Power Feed system.

The use of non-standard cables, especially inlengths greater than 25 feet, can lead to communi-cation problems (system shutdowns), poor motoracceleration (poor arc starting) and low wire dri-ving force (wire feeding problems).------------------------------------------------------------------------Lincoln control cables are copper 22 conductor cablein a SO-type rubber jacket.

EXTERNAL I/O CONNECTOR

The Power Wave is equipped with a port for making simple input signal connections. The port is divided into three groups: Trigger group, Cold Inch Group and Shutdown Group. Because the Power Wave is a ‘slave’ on the DeviceNet network, the Trigger and Cold Inch Groups are disabled when the DeviceNet/Gateway is active.

The shutdown group is always enabled. Shutdown 2 is used for signaling low flow in the water cooler. Unused shutdowns must be jumpered. Machines from the factory come with the shutdowns already jumpered. (See Figure A.3)

Shutdown 1 and shutdown 2 inputs are for weld sys-tem faults and should not be used as emergency or safety shutdowns.

LIMITATIONS• The Power Wave 455/R is not suitable for SMAW,

CAC-A or other processes not listed.• Power Waves are not to be used in outdoor environ-

ments.• Only Arc-Link Power Feed wire feeders and user

interfaces may be used. Other Lincoln wire feedersor non-Lincoln wire feeders cannot be used.

DUTY CYCLE AND TIME PERIODThe Power Feed wire feeders are capable of weldingat a 100% duty cycle (continuous welding). The powersource will be the limiting factor in determining systemduty cycle capability. Note that the duty cycle is basedupon a ten minute period. A 60% duty cycle repre-sents 6 minutes of welding and 4 minutes of idling in aten minute period.

GENERAL DESCRIPTIONThe Power Wave power source is designed to be apart of a modular, multi-process welding system.Depending on configuration, it can support constantcurrent, constant voltage, Surface Tension Transferand pulse welding modes.

The Power Wave power source is designed to beused with the family of Power Feed wire feeders,operating as a system. Each component in the systemhas special circuitry to "talk with" the other systemcomponents, so each component (power source, wirefeeder, electrical accessories) knows what the other isdoing at all times. The components communicateusing Arc-Link protocol.

Robotic systems can communicate with other industri-al machines via DeviceNET protocol. The result is ahighly intrigated and flexible welding cell.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION - POWER WAVE 455/RThe Power Wave 455/R is a high performance, digital-ly controlled inverter welding power source capable ofcomplex, high-speed waveform control. Properlyequipped, it can support the GMAW, GMAW-P,FCAW, GTAW and STT processes. It carries an out-put rating of either 450 amps, 38 volts; or 400 amps,36 volts (both at 100% duty cycle), depending on inputvoltage and frequency. The Surface Tension transferprocess (STT) is supported at currents up to 325amps, at 100% duty cycle.

If the duty cycle is exceeded, a thermostat will shut offthe output until the machine cools to a reasonableoperating temperature.

RECOMMENDED PROCESSES ANDEQUIPMENT

RECOMMENDED PROCESSESThe Power Wave 455/R can be set up in a number ofconfigurations, some requiring optional equipment orwelding programs. Each machine is factory prepro-grammed with multiple welding procedures, typicallyincluding GMAW, GMAW-P, FCAW, GTAW and STTfor a variety of materials, including mild steel, stain-less steel, cored wires, and aluminum. The STTprocess supports mild steel and stainless steel weld-ing.

The Power Wave 455/R is recommended only forautomatic or mechanized applications such as roboticwelding.

CONSTANT VOLTAGE WELDING

For each wire feed speed, a corresponding voltage ispreprogrammed into the machine through special soft-ware at the factory. The preprogrammed voltage is thebest average voltage for a given wire feed speed.With synergic programs, when the wire feed speedchanges the Power Wave will automatically adjust thevoltage correspondingly.

Wave control adjusts the inductance of the wave-shape. (This adjustment is often referred to as "pinch".Inductance is inversely proportional pinch.) Increasingwave control greater than 0 results in a harsher, cold-er arc while decreasing the wave control to less than 0provides a softer, hotter arc. (See Figure A.5)

B-6OPERATIONB-6

PULSE WELDING

Pulse welding procedures are set by controlling anoverall "arc length" variable. When pulse welding, thearc voltage is highly dependent upon the waveform.The peak current, back ground current, rise time, falltime and pulse frequency all affect the voltage. Theexact voltage for a given wire feed speed can only bepredicted when all the pulsing waveform parametersare known. Using a preset voltage becomesimpractical, and instead the arc length is set byadjusting "trim".

Trim adjusts the arc length and ranges from 0.50 to1.50, with a nominal value of 1.00. Trim values greaterthan 1.00 increase the arc length, while values lessthan 1.00 decrease the arc length.

Most pulse welding programs are syngeric. As thewire feed speed is adjusted, the Power Wave willautomatically recalculate the waveform parameters tomaintain similar arc properties.

POWER WAVE 455/R

The Power Wave uti l izes "adaptive control" tocompensate for changes in electrical stick-out whilewelding. (Electrical stick-out is the distance from thecontact tip to the work piece.) The Power Wavewaveforms are optimized for a 0.75" (19mm) stick-out.The adaptive behavior supports a range of stickoutsfrom 0.50" (13mm) to 1.25" (32mm). At very low orhigh wire feed speeds, the adaptive range may beless due to reaching physical limitations of the weldingprocess.

Wave control in pulse programs usually adjusts thefocus or shape of the arc. Wave control values greaterthan 0 increase the pulse frequency while decreasingthe background current, resulting in a tight, stiff arcbest for high speed sheet metal welding. Wave controlvalues less than 0 decrease the pulse frequency whileincreasing the background current, for a soft arc goodfor out-of-position welding. (See Figure A.6)

STT WELDING

The pictures illustrate the waveshape of current forthe process. They are not drawn to scale, and areintended only for the purpose of showing how thevariables effect the waveform.

For most programs, peak current is adjusted by wavecontrol values. A value of +10.0 maximizes the peakcurrent, while a wave control of -10.0 minimizes peakcurrent. In general, the peak current is proportionaltorch arc length. (See Figure A.8)

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

FACTORY INSTALLEDThere are no factory installed options available for thePower Wave 455R.

FIELD INSTALLED• Gas Guard Regulator (K659-1)The Gas Guard regulator is available as an optionalaccessory for the Power Feed Robotic wire driveunit. Install the 5/8-18 male outlet on the regulatorto the proper 5/8-18 female gas inlet on the backpanel of the wire drive. Secure fitting with flowadjuster key at top.

* Voltage Sense Leads (K940-10, -25 or -50)The voltage sense leads connect at the front of themachine. (See Section A-6)

• Power Wave Water Cooler (K1767-1)*(See Section F-4 Connection Diagram)The K1767-1 is the recommended water cooler forthe Power Waves. Incorporated into the cooler is anautomatic flow sensor to detect low coolant flow. Inthe event of a low flow condition, a fault signal issent to the Power Wave and welding output auto-matically stops to protect the torch.

POWER WAVE 455/R

The water coolers are designed to cool only onewelding gun and should be not used to cool multipleguns or other devices.

Water cooler manufacturers often specify additivesto the coolant such as fungicides or alkalides. Followmanufacturers recommendations to achieve properoperation and long lifetimes without clogging.

* Water Flow Sensor (K1536-1)Water cooled guns can be damaged very quickly ifthey are used even momentarily without water flow-ing. Recommend practice is to install a water flowsensor such as on the water return line of the torch.When fully integrated into the welding system, thesensor will prevent welding if no water flow is pre-sent.

• Dual Cylinder Undercarriage, K1570-1*

• Coaxial welding Cable, K1796(See Section F-5 Connection Diagram)

*The Dual Cylinder Undercarriage, K1570-1 is notcompatible in combination with the Power WaveWater Cooler K1767-1.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Only Qualified personnel shouldperform this maintenance.

• Turn the input power OFF at thedisconnect switch or fuse boxbefore working on this equipment.

• Do not touch electrically hot parts.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Routine maintenance consists of periodically blowingout the machine, using a low pressure airstream, toremove accumulated dust and dirt from the intake andoutlet louvers, and the cooling channels in themachine.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCECalibration of the Power Wave-455/R is critical toits operation. Generally speaking the calibrationwill not need adjustment. However, neglected orimproperly calibrated machines may not yield sat-isfactory weld performance. To ensure optimalperformance, the calibration of output Voltage andCurrent should be checked yearly.

CALIBRATION SPECIFICATIONOutput Voltage and Current are calibrated at thefactory. Generally speaking the machine calibrationwill not need adjustment. However, if the weld per-formance changes, or the yearly calibration checkreveals a problem, contact the Lincoln ElectricCompany for the calibration software utility.

The calibration procedure itself requires the useof a grid, and certified actual meters for voltageand current. The accuracy of the calibration willbe directly affected by the accuracy of the mea-suring equipment you use. Detailed instructionsare available with the utility.
