OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

FACTORY INSTALLED

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

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

FIELD INSTALLED

Gas Guard Regulator (K659-1)

The Gas Guard regulator is available as an option- al 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 the fitting with the flow adjuster key at the top.

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

The voltage sense leads connect at the front of the machine. (See Figure A.2.)

Power Wave Water Cooler (K1767-1)*

The K1767-1 is the recommended water cooler for the Power Wave. 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.

Water cooler manufacturers often specify additives to the coolant such as fungicides or alkalies. Follow the manufacturers’ recommendations to achieve proper operation and long lifetime 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

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