A-2 INSTALLATION
MAXsa™ 19 MSA
A-2
SAFETY PRECAUTION
WELDING VOLTAGE
Wire feed parts are electrically live while welding and
while feeding wire (with Touch Sense feature select-
ed). The electrically live parts are listed below:
Electrode Electrode Reel
Wire Drive Motor Drive Rolls
Gear Box Cross-seam Adjuster
Wire Straightener Welding Nozzle
Welding Cables Welding Cable Terminal
• Do not touch electrically live parts or
electrodes with your skin or wet cloth-
ing.
• Insulate yourself from the work and
ground.
• Always wear dry insulating gloves.
MECHANICAL HAZARDS
• Welding fixture or wire feeder will
move during welding or inching. Keep
away from pinch points.
• Electrode reel and drive rolls turn during weld-
ing or inching. Keep gloved hands away from
areas that may catch the glove.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Only a qualified electrician should
connect the MAXsa™ 19 MSA.
Installation should be made in
accordance with the appropriate
National Electrical Code, the local
codes and the information in this
manual.
• Turn off the input power to the
power source at the disconnect
switch or fuse box before working
on this equipment. Turn off the
input power to any other equipment
connected to the welding system at
the disconnect switch or fuse box
before working on this equipment.
• Do not touch electrically hot parts.

LOCATION AND MOUNTING
The MAXsa™ 19 MSA will operate in harsh environ-
ments and can be used outdoors with an IP 23 rating.
Even so, it is important that simple preventative mea-
sures are followed in order to assure long life and reli-
able operation. The MAXsa™ 19 MSA must be located
where there is little risk of impacts to the Controller
.
HIGH FREQUENCY PROTECTION
Locate the MAXsa™ 19 MSA away from radio con-
trolled machinery. The normal operation of the
MAXsa™ 19 MSA may adversely affect the operation
of RF controlled equipment, which may result in bodily
injury or damage to the equipment.
CONTROL CABLE CONNECTIONS
GENERAL GUIDELINES
These guidelines apply to all communications
cables including optional DeviceNet and Ethernet
connections.
• Genuine Lincoln control cables should be used
at all times (except as noted otherwise). Lincoln
cables are specifically designed for the communica-
tion and power needs of the Power Wave/ MAXsa™
systems. Most are designed to be connected end to
end for ease of operation.
• Always use the shortest cable lengths possible.
DO NOT coil excess cable. It is recommended that
the total length of control cable does not exceed
100ʼ (30.5M). The use of non-standard cables in
excess of 25ʼ (7.5M) can lead to communication
problems (system shutdowns), poor motor accelera-
tion (poor arc starting), and low wire driving force
(wire feeding problems).
• Best results will be obtained when the control
cables are routed separate from the weld cables.
This minimizes the possibility of interference
between the high currents flowing through the weld
cables and the low level signals in the control
cables.
