SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
•Do not touch electrically live parts such as output terminals or internal wiring.
•When inching with gun trigger, electrode and drive mechanism are “hot” to work and ground and could remain energized several seconds after the gun trigger is released.
•Turn OFF input power at welding power source before installation or changing drive roll and/or guide tubes.
•Welding power source must be connected to system ground per the National Electrical Code or any applicable local codes.
•Only qualified personnel should perform this installation.
Observe all additional Safety Guidelines detailed throughout this manual.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Power Feed 10 is a high performance, digitally controlled, modular wire feeder. Properly equipped, it can support the GMAW,
The Power Feed 10 is a 4 driven roll feeder that oper- ates on 40VDC input power. .
The Power Feed wire feeders are designed to be used with Power Feed compatible power sources, operating as a system. Each component in the system has special circuitry to “talk with” the other system 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 welding perfor- mance.
The Power Feed 10 is available configured in both boom and bench models. In addition, 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.
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES AND EQUIPMENT
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES
The Power Feed 10 can be set up in a number of con- figurations. It is designed to be used for GMAW,
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
The Power Feed 10 must be used with power sources having digital communication capabilities and 40 VDC auxiliary power. The presently available power source is the PowerWave 455.
DUTY CYCLE
The Power Feed 10 wire feeder is capable of welding at a 100% duty cycle (continuous welding). The power source will be the limiting factor in determining system duty cycle capability.
CONTROL BOX OPERATION
The most frequently used Control Box controls and settings are external; some features are accessed by internal controls and settings.
