Enable the voltage sense leads as follows:

TABLE A.1

Process	Electrode Voltage	Work Voltage
	Sensing 67 lead *	Sensing 21 lead
GMAW	67 lead required	21 lead optional
GMAW-P	67 lead required	21 lead optional
FCAW	67 lead required	21 lead optional
GTAW	Voltage sense at studs	Voltage sense at studs
GMAW	Voltage sense at studs	Voltage sense at studs
SAW	67 lead required	21 lead optional
CAC-C	Voltage sense at studs	Voltage sense at studs

*The electrode voltage 67 sense lead is integral to the control cable to the wire feeder.

Work Voltage Sensing

The standard POWER WAVE 355M/405M default to the work stud (work sense lead disabled)

For processes requiring work voltage sensing, connect the (21) work voltage sense lead (K940) from the Power Wave work sense lead receptacle to the work piece. Attach the sense lead to the work piece as close to the weld as practical, but not in the return current path. Enable the work voltage sensing in the Power Wave as follows:

WARNING

• Do not touch electrically live parts or electrodes with your skin or wet clothing.

•Insulate yourself from the work and ground.

•Always wear dry insulating gloves.

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

2.Remove the wrap around cover from the power source.

3.The control board is on the center assembly facing the case front. Locate the 8-position DIP switch and look for switch 8 of the DIP switch.

4.Using a pencil or other small object, slide the switch to the OFF position if the work sense lead is NOT connected. Conversely, slide the switch to the ON position if the work sense lead is present.

5.Replace the wrap around and screws. The PC board will “read” the switch at power up, and configure the work voltage sense lead appropriately.

ELECTRODE VOLTAGE SENSING

Enabling or disabling electrode voltage sensing is auto- matically configured through software. The 67 elec- trode sense lead is internal to the cable to the wire feeder and always connected when a wire feeder is present.

PF10M feeder has user preference features to select voltage senses temporarily for testing sense leads.

CAUTION

Important: The electrode polarity must be config- ured at the feed head for all semi-automatic processes. Failure to do so may result in extreme- ly high welding outputs.

POWER WAVE TO SEMI-AUTOMATIC POW- ERFEED WIRE FEEDER INTERCONNEC- TIONS

The POWER WAVE 355M/405M and semi-automatic Power Feed family communicate via a 5 conductor control cable (K1543). The control cable consists of two power leads, one twisted pair for digital communica- tion, and one lead for voltage sensing. The cables are designed to be connected end to end for ease of exten- sion. The output receptacle on the POWER WAVE 405M is on the case front. The input receptacle on the Power Feed is typically located at the back of the feed- er, or on the bottom of the user interface.

Due to the flexibility of the platform the configuration may vary. The following is a general description of the system. For specific configuration information, consult the semi-automatic Power Feed instruction manual.
