POWER WAVE SYSTEM OPERATION
The serviceability of a product or structure utilizing
the welding programs is and must be the sole
responsibility of the builder/user. Many variables
beyond the control of The Lincoln Electric Company
affect the results obtained in applying these pro-
grams. These variables include, but are not limited
to, welding procedure, plate chemistry and tempera-
ture, weldment design, fabrication methods and ser-
vice requirements. The available range of a welding
program may not be suitable for all applications, and
the build/user is and must be solely responsible for
welding program selection.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The steps for operating the Power Wave will vary
depending upon the user interface of the welding sys-
tem. The flexibility of the Power Wave lets the user
customize operation for the best performance.
First, consider the desired welding process and the
part to be welded. Choose an electrode material,
diameter, shielding gas and process (GMAW, GMAW-
P, GMAW-STT™, etc.)
Second, find the program in the welding software that
best matches the desired welding process. The stan-
dard software shipped with the Power Waves encom-
passes a wide range of common processes and will
meet most needs. If a special welding program is
desired, contact the local Lincoln Electric sales repre-
sentative.
All adjustments are made on the user interface.
Because of the different configuration options your
system may not have all of the following adjustments.
Regardless of availability, all controls are described
below.
SMAW (STICK) WELDING
SMAW is most often used for outdoor construction,
pipe welding and general repairs. The wire feeder
controls Amperage, Output Control and Arc Force dur-
ing SMAW welding.
During SMAW welding, the user interface sets the
weld parameters and the wire drive remains idle.
The “Volts”-”Trim” control is used to turn the power
Source Output ON or OFF. (See Figure B.3)
