Lincoln Power Wave power sources utilizes a control scheme known as adaptive control in all pulse modes. Because the Power Wave utilizes adaptive control, it can adjust the pulsing parameters based on changes in the arc due to changes in the electrical stickout of the electrode. (Contact Tip to Work Distance(CTWD) is the distance from the contact to the work piece.) The Power Wave is optimized for use with a .75” stick- out. The adaptive behavior is programmed to support a stickout range from .5” to 1.25”. In the low and high end of the wire feed speed ranges of most processes, the adaptive behavior may be restricted. This is a physical restriction due to reaching the edge of the operating range for the process.

The Arc Control adjustment allows the pulse frequen- cy to be varied. Increasing the Arc control causes the frequency setting to increase, while decreasing the Arc Control causes the frequency to decrease. Varying the Arc Control, and hence, the pulse fre- quency, affects the droplet transfer and allows fine- tuning for different welding positions.

Crater Fill operation is covered in the WIRE DRIVE OPERATIONS section.

Installation is as follows:

1.Turn off power.

2.Remove the two screws from the front of the stan- dard or option panel at the location you choose to install your new option, (bottom), of the Control Box cabinet. Save the screws for re-use. Unplug the white electrical connector. Remove the chas- sis wire (if equipped) from the back of the stan- dard or option panel. Discard the old panel or save for future use.

3.Tilt the new option panel away from the front opening of the Control Box cabinet and plug the white electrical connector into the proper connec- tor (12 pin) on the right side of the main printed circuit board until the connector latches into place. Attach the chassis wire (if equipped) to the back of the new panel.

4.Slide the new panel through the opening, taking care not to damage the connections and the print- ed circuit board on the back.

5.Align the screw holes, replace the two screws and tighten.

K1542-9 DUAL PROCEDURE /

MEMORY PANEL (SMALL PANEL)

Note: This panel will function with S24004-3 and high- er Control Box Software only.

The Dual Procedure / Memory panel provides for the selection of either of two procedures, or a gun switch for remote selection of the procedure. In addition, there are six permanent memory storage locations for saving commonly used procedures. Procedures A and B are “soft” type memories that record any changes made to them. The six memory locations are “hard” or more permanent type memories. Any changes made must be consciously saved back to them. Furthermore, each memory contains only one proce- dure, therefore any combination of memories may be recalled to procedure A and B.

Descriptions

Indicator Lights - Extra bright red LEDʼs for viewing at almost any angle. Always indicate the procedure, also indicate active memory and save mode if applicable.

Switches - Discreet PC board mounted switches, UL and CSA approved, with an IEC rating of protection class IP67.

Switch Covers - Heavy duty switch covers of silicone rubber providing a high degree of protection from heat and dust. Covers are designed to be individually field replaceable in the unlikely event that one gets dam- aged.

Dual Procedure Selection

The procedure switch is used to scroll the indicator to select PROCEDURE A, PROCEDURE B, or the GUN switch. When the GUN switch is selected, the proce- dure is determined by the position of the switch locat- ed at the gun. Under this condition, indicators will show that the gun switch has been selected and also which procedure the gun switch is requesting.

Memory Selection

RECALL - When a memory key is depressed its indi- cator comes on, and its contents are copied to the active procedure. As long as no changes are made to the contents of that procedure, the memory indicator will be on anytime that procedure is active. This indi- cates that their contents are the same. Any change to that procedure will cause the memory indicator to go off, indicating that they are no longer equal.
