CASE FRONT CONTROLS

All operator controls and adjustments are located on the case front of the Power Wave. (See Figure A.4)

1.POWER SWITCH: Controls input power to the Power Wave.

2.STATUS LIGHT: A two color light that indicates system errors. Normal operation is a steady green light. Error conditions are indicated, per table 4.

NOTE: The robotic Power Waves’ status light will flash green, and sometimes red and green, for up to one minute when the machine is first turned on. This is a normal situation as the machine goes through a self test at power up.

	TABLE 4

Light	Meaning
Condition
Steady Green	System OK. Power source communicating normal-
	ly with wire feeder and its components.

Blinking	Occurs during a reset, and indicates the PW-
Green	455/R is mapping (identifying) each component
	in the system. Normal for first 1-10 seconds
	after power is turned on, or if the system con-
	figuration is changed during operation.
A l t e r n a t i n g	Non-recoverable system fault. If the PS
Green and	Status light is flashing any combination of
Red	red and green, errors are present in the PW-
	455/R. Read the error code before the
	machine is turned off.
	Error Code interpretation through the Status
	light is detailed in the Service Manual.
	Individual code digits are flashed in red with
	a long pause between digits. If more than
	one code is present, the codes will be sepa-
	rated by a green light.
	To clear the error, turn power source off, and
	back on to reset. See Troubleshooting
	Section.

Steady Red	Not applicable.

Blinking Red	Not applicable.

3.HIGH TEMPERATURE LIGHT (thermal overload): A yellow light that comes on when an over temper- ature situation occurs. Output is disabled until the machine cools down. When cool, the light goes out and output is enabled.

4.10 AMP WIRE FEEDER CIRCUIT BREAKER: Protects 40 volt DC wire feeder power supply.

5.10 AMP AUXILIARY POWER CIRCUIT BREAKER: Protects 115 volt AC case front receptacle auxiliary supply.
