POWER FEED CONTROL BOX

MOUNTING

In some installations, it may be desirable to mount the Wire Feeder control box directly to the front of the Power Wave power source. (The control box is the box containing the knobs, switches and displays nec- essary to control the Power Wave / Power Feed weld- ing system.) Complete details for separating the con- trol box from the wire drive are contained in the Power Feed Instruction Manual. Once separated, mounting instructions are as follows:

1.Disconnect the input power from the Power Wave.

2.Separate the control box from the wire drive on the Power Feed wire feeder, and remove the control panels (see the Power Feed Instruction Manual for details).

3.Remove the front nameplate from the Power Wave by removing six screws from the metal nameplate. Save the screws for re-use.

4.Connect the 6-pin connector that comes out the back of the control box to the 6-pin receptacle that is tie-wrapped to the harnessing inside the rectan- gular opening in the power source. It will be nec- essary to remove one or two of the wire ties in order to give enough slack to the power source connector and leads.

5.Position the control box over the rectangular hole in the Power Wave case front, being careful not to pinch any leads between the control box and the case front. Align the four holes in the back of the control box with the four threaded mounting holes in the case front. Secure the control box in place with four of the screws saved from the previous step.

6.Reassemble the control box.

The Power Feed Wire Drive can now be connected to the power source wire feeder connector. This con- nector is located under the spring loaded output cover, near the bottom of the case front. The control cable is keyed and polarized, so it can be installed in only one way. (To ensure proper electrode voltage sensing, always connect the Wire Drive to the Power Source wire feeder connector. Do not connect it to the optional Output Receptacle which may be present on the Power Feed Control Box.)
