WIRE FEEDER SETUP

The Power Wave must be used with wire feeders list- ed above. Mount the feeder in a location suitable to your needs.

For most applications, connect the electrode cable between the feeder and the positive (+) connection of the power source. When negative electrode polarity is required, such as in some Innershield™ applications, connect the electrode cable between the feeder and the negative (-) connection of the power source. See Figure C.1.

Connect the control cable between the feeder and power source. The cable has different connectors on each end and will fit in only one way. If only one feed- er is used, it must be connected to the Feeder 1 Amphenol located on the back panel in the upper left- hand corner (as you view the machine from the back). If a second feeder is used, it must be plugged into the Feeder 2 Amphenol receptacle located just to the right of the Feeder 1 Amphenol receptacle.

Connect the work cable between the work and the negative (-) connection of the power source. When negative electrode polarity is required, such as in some Innershield™ applications, connect the work cable between the work and the positive (+) connec- tion of the power source. See Figure C.1.

•Connect the feeder to a welding gas supply.

•Load the wire into the feeder and gun.

•Configure wire feeders (Refer to Setup overlay in operation section.

Using a water-cooled gun is recommended to reduce the size of the gun and improve parts life. The Power Wave comes with a standard internal water cooler. However, an external cooler may also be used.

GUNS AND CABLES

Several MAGNUM guns are recommended for use with the Power Wave as shown in Table C.1.

Place the proper liner in the gun and connect the gun to the feeder. Consult the specific instructions sup- plied with the gun for detailed operating instructions.

1Use of the Synergic 7 wire feeder requires appropriate input cable assembly, wire stand, and drive roll kit. Refer to Synergic 7 Operator’s Manual for available options.
