DEFINITIONS OF WELDING MODES
NON-SYNERGIC WELDING MODES
• A Non-synergic welding mode requires all welding
process variables to be set by the operator.
SYNERGIC WELDING MODES
• A Synergic welding mode offers the simplicity of
single knob control. The machine will select the cor-
rect voltage and amperage based on the wire feed
speed (WFS) set by the operator.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
General Physical Description
The Power Feed ® 10M Single Wire Feeder is a modu-
lar wire feeder, consisting of two components - a wire
drive and a control box - are available assembled as
a bench unit or as a boom system. High speed,
highly reliable digital cables connect the components
together and to the Power Wave power source.
The Power Feed ® 10M Single Wire Feeder system
has the ability to connect multiple wire feeders to one
power source, use the same power source to weld in
two different locations (not simultaneously), or load a
different electrode on each feeder to eliminate change
over time.
The powerful four roll wire drive system sets the
industry standard for ease of use. Its patented design
allows for tool-less change out of wire guides and
drive rolls greatly reducing set up time.
General Functional Description
• The Power Feed ® 10M Single Wire Feeder is a high-
ly versatile wire feeder with easy to use features
that make it easy for the operator to adjust the arc
for specific preferences.
• The new MSP4 panel clearly displays key welding
information. Use the MSP4 panel to quickly adjust
weld settings, arc starting parameters, arc end para-
meters and set-up variables.
(For Codes 11772 and below)
• The Power Feed ® 10M Single Wire Feeder wire
feeder is provided with an infrared red (IR) port.
Transferring welding settings from one wire feeder
to another is accomplished with a common palm
computer.
• When the Power Feed ® 10M Single Wire Feeder is
coupled to a Power Wave welding power source,
the result is a welding system with absolutely supe-
rior arc performance.
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES
The Power Feed ® 10M Single Wire Feeder is well suit-
ed for all MIG welding processes, giving premium arc
performance especially with unusual alloys and out of
position work.
