POWER WAVE 405 – Semi-Automatic Operation

Semi Automatic Power Waves can only be used with Linc-Net compatible Power Feed semi-automatic wire feeders. In addition, the Power Feed semi-automatic wire feeders may require optional equipment to access certain weld modes in the Power Wave. Other models of Lincoln feeders, or any models of non- Lincoln wire feeders, cannot be used.

All welding programs and procedures are selected through the Power Feed semi-automatic user inter- face

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT

Any Linc-Net compatible semi-automatic wire feeding equipment. Specifically, the semi-automatic Power Feed family (PF-10, PF-10M Single and Dual Wire Feeder, PF-11 and PF-15).

LIMITATIONS

•Only Linc-Net compatible Power Feed semi-auto- matic wire feeders and users interfaces may be used. Other Lincoln wire feeders or non-Lincoln wire feeders cannot be used.

•POWER WAVE 405 Output Limitations

The POWER WAVE 405 will support maximum aver- age output current of 350 Amps @ 60% duty cycle.

DUTY CYCLE AND TIME PERIOD

The duty cycle is based upon a ten minute period. A 60% duty cycle represents 6 minutes of welding and 4 minutes of idling in a ten minute period.

CASE FRONT CONTROLS

Operator controls and adjustments are located on the case front of the Power Wave. (See Figure B.1)

1.POWER SWITCH: Controls input power to the Power Wave.

2.STATUS LIGHT: A two color light that indicates system errors. Normal operation is a steady green light. Error conditions are indicated, per table B.1.

NOTE: The POWER WAVE 405 status light will flash green, and sometimes red and green, for up to one minute when the machine is first turned on. This is a normal situation as the machine goes through a self test at power up.

	TABLE B.1
Light	Meaning
Condition

Steady Green System OK. Power source communicating normal- ly with wire feeder and its components.

Blinking	Occurs during a reset, and indicates the
Green	POWER WAVE 405 is mapping (identifying)
	each component in the system. Normal for
	first 1-10 seconds after power is turned on,
	or if the system configuration is changed
	during operation
A l t e r n a t i n g	Non-recoverable system fault. If the PS
Green and	Status light is flashing any combination of
Red	red and green, errors are present in the
	POWER WAVE 405. Read the error code
	before the machine is turned off.
	Error Code interpretation through the Status
	light is detailed in the Service Manual.
	Individual code digits are flashed in red with
	a long pause between digits. If more than
	one code is present, the codes will be sepa-
	rated by a green light.
	To clear the error, turn power source off,
	and back on to reset. See Troubleshooting
	Section.
Steady Red	Non recoverable hardware fault. Generally
	indicates nothing is connected to the
	POWER WAVE 405 wire feeder receptacle.
	See Trouble Shooting Section.
Blinking Red	Not applicable.

3.HIGH TEMPERATURE LIGHT (thermal overload): A yellow light that comes on when an over temper- ature situation occurs. Output is disabled and the fan continues to run, until the machine cools down. When cool, the light goes out and output is enabled.

4.CB1 WIRE FEEDER CIRCUIT BREAKER: Protects 40 volt DC wire feeder power supply.
