OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

FACTORY INSTALLED

There are no factory installed options available for the Power Wave 455R.

FIELD INSTALLED

•Gas Guard Regulator (K659-1)

The Gas Guard regulator is available as an optional accessory for the Power Feed Robotic wire drive unit. Install the 5/8-18 male outlet on the regulator to the proper 5/8-18 female gas inlet on the back panel of the wire drive. Secure fitting with flow adjuster key at top.

* Voltage Sense Leads (K940-10, -25 or -50)

The voltage sense leads connect at the front of the machine. (See Section A-6)

•Power Wave Water Cooler (K1767-1)* (See Section F-4 Connection Diagram)

The K1767-1 is the recommended water cooler for the Power Waves. Incorporated into the cooler is an automatic flow sensor to detect low coolant flow. In the event of a low flow condition, a fault signal is sent to the Power Wave and welding output auto- matically stops to protect the torch.

The water coolers are designed to cool only one welding gun and should be not used to cool multiple guns or other devices.

Water cooler manufacturers often specify additives to the coolant such as fungicides or alkalides. Follow manufacturers recommendations to achieve proper operation and long lifetimes without clogging.

* Water Flow Sensor (K1536-1)

Water cooled guns can be damaged very quickly if they are used even momentarily without water flow- ing. Recommend practice is to install a water flow sensor such as on the water return line of the torch. When fully integrated into the welding system, the sensor will prevent welding if no water flow is pre- sent.

•Dual Cylinder Undercarriage, K1570-1*

•Coaxial welding Cable, K1796

(See Section F-5 Connection Diagram)

*The Dual Cylinder Undercarriage, K1570-1 is not compatible in combination with the Power Wave Water Cooler K1767-1.
