CONTROL CABLE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN POWER SOURCE AND WIREFEEDER
Connect the control cable between the power source and wire feeder. The wire feeder connection on the PowerWave AC/DC is located under the spring loaded output cover, on the case front. The control cable is keyed and polarized to prevent improper connect.
For convenience, the control cables can be routed behind the left or right strain relief (under the spring loaded output cover), along the channels of the Power Wave, out the back of the channels, and then to the wire feeder.
CAUTION
Excessive voltage drops at the work piece con- nection often result in unsatisfactory pulse weld- ing performance.
CONTROL CABLE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN POWER SOURCES RUN IN PARALLEL
The connectors located on the rear of the machine are used for synchronizing the operation of multiple machines. To run machines in parallel connect the control cable (K1795 series) between power sources that are to run in parallel. The bottom (male) connec- tor on the master connects to the top (female) connec- tor on the slave. If needed the bottom connector on the slave machine is then used to connect to another slave machine. This connection scheme is duplicated for any additional slaves.
CAUTION
The use of
Lincoln control cables are copper 22 conductor cable in a
The K1795 series of control cables can be added in series as needed. Do not exceed more than 100 feet (30.5 m) total control cable length.
ETHERNET CONNECTIONS
The PowerWave is equipped with an Ethernet con- nector, which is located under the spring loaded out- put cover. All Ethernet cables external to either a con- duit or an enclosure should be solid, shielded with a drain, cat 5 cable. The drain should be grounded. Do not use cat 5+, cat 5E, cat 6 or stranded cable. If con- nection failure during welding persists reroute cables away from any other cables that carry current or other devices that would create a magnetic field. See Figure A.4a.

CONTROL CABLE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN A POWER SOURCE AND PHASE GENERATOR
If multiple arcs need to be synchronized an external phase generator is required. The phase generator is connected to all of the master machines. A control cable (K1795 series) should be connected between the phase generator and the top (female) connector on the rear of the master machine.
-MAX TOTAL CABLE LENGTH IS 70 METERS (FROM POWER WAVE TO PATCH PANEL)
-SHIELDED CABLE SHOULD BE GROUNDED AT JUNCTION BOX

CONTROL CABLE SPECIFICATIONS
It is recommended that genuine Lincoln control cables be used at all times. Lincoln cables are specifically designed for the communication and power needs of the Power Wave / Power Feed system.
