fy the polarity, sense lead and water cooler conditions.
Proceed as follows:

1. Insert the SETUP Overlay (L9660) and turn the

Power Wave on.

2. For the majority of applications, the wire feeder

LED’s should look as follows (change settings as
required to suit special applications):

Wire Feeder 1

Wire Feeder 2

Polarity LED “ON”

Electrode Sense Lead Enabled

LED “ON”

Work Sense Lead Enabled

LED “OFF”

3. If an external work sense lead (21 lead) is used,

turn on the WORK SENSE LEAD ENABLED LED
on WIRE FEEDER 1.

4. If a water cooler is used, enable and prime the

water cooler using the water cooler SETUP keys.

5. Power down and remove the overlay.
