Installing Power Wave® Manager

Once you update the Welding Power Source(s), you need to upgrade to the latest version of Power Wave®

Manager. If installing Power Wave® Manager for the first time, these instructions are also for you. Power

Wave® Manager is a software application that allows you to manage a multitude of settings and

configuration options within the Lincoln Electric Power Wave® family of Welding Power Sources. It also

provides in-depth diagnostics of the Welding Power Source’s hardware and firmware to help identify and

eliminate issues with welding or configuration.

TIP

|

If you already have Power Wave® Manager installed, you

can simply open the software. Depending on your version

of the software, the system automatically checks for and

installs any updates. If it doesn’t do this automatically, you

can click the Check for Updates button. If the software

updates, you can skip ahead to the next section.
