SETUP DESCRIPTION

This procedure properly enables the work and electrode sense leads after Display Board replacement.

MATERIALS NEEDED

Set-Up Overlay – L9660

Setting up the SemiAutomatic Power Wave 450 after Display Board replacement

After a Display board is installed, all users should veri- fy the polarity, sense lead and water cooler conditions. Proceed as follows:

1.Insert the SETUP Overlay (L9660) and turn the Power Wave on.

2.For the majority of applications, the wire feeder LED’s should look as follows (change settings as required to suit special applications):

Wire Feeder 1

Wire Feeder 2

Polarity LED “ON”

Polarity LED “ON”

Electrode Sense Lead Enabled

Electrode Sense Lead Enabled

LED “ON”

LED “ON”

Work Sense Lead Enabled

Work Sense Lead Enabled

LED “OFF”

LED “OFF”

3.If an external work sense lead (21 lead) is used, turn on the WORK SENSE LEAD ENABLED LED on WIRE FEEDER 1.

4.If a water cooler is used, enable and prime the water cooler using the water cooler SETUP keys.

5.Power down and remove the overlay.

Setting up the Robotic Power Wave 450 after Display Board replacement

After a Display board is installed, a special setup pro- cedure is required to properly initialize the machine for robotic use. Proceed as follows:

1.Insert the SETUP Overlay (L9660) and turn the Power Wave on.

2.The Wire Feeder 1 + POLARITY LED should be on when the machine is first powered up. If not, proceed to step 4.

3.Turn the + POLARITY LED for WIRE FEEDER 1 off by pressing the +/- POLARITY KEY for WIRE FEEDER 1. Note that WIRE FEEDER 2 LEDs will also change during this procedure.

4.Turn the + POLARITY LED for WIRE FEEDER 1 back on by again pressing the +/- POLARITY KEY for WIRE FEEDER 1.

5.When done properly, the LEDs should look as follows:

Wire Feeder 1

Wire Feeder 2

Polarity LED “ON”

Polarity LED “ON”

Electrode Sense Lead Enabled

Electrode Sense Lead Enabled

LED “ON”

LED “OFF”

Work Sense Lead Enabled

Work Sense Lead Enabled

LED “OFF”

LED “OFF”

6.If an external work sense lead (21 lead) is used, turn on the

WORK SENSE LEAD ENABLED LED on WIRE FEEDER 1.

7.If a water cooler is used, enable and prime the water cooler using the water cooler SETUP keys.

8.Power down and remove the overlay.
