ARC WELDING CAN BE HAZARDOUS. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. PACEMAKER WEARERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR DOCTOR BEFORE OPERATING.

Read and understand the following safety highlights. For additional safety information, it is strongly recommended that you purchase a copy of “Safety in Welding & Cutting - ANSI Standard Z49.1” from the American Welding Society, P.O. Box

351040, Miami, Florida 33135 or CSA Standard W117.2-1974. A Free copy of “Arc Welding Safety” booklet E205 is available from the Lincoln Electric Company, 22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199.

BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE

PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.

FOR ENGINE powered equipment.

1.a. Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenance work unless the maintenance work requires it to be running.

____________________________________________________

1.b. Operate engines in open, well-ventilated areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes outdoors.

1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the radiator pressure cap when the engine is hot.

ELECTRIC AND

MAGNETIC FIELDS may be dangerous

____________________________________________________

1.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flame welding arc or when the engine is running.

Stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes have been eliminated.

____________________________________________________

1.d. Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in position and in good repair.Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving parts when starting, operating or repairing equipment.

____________________________________________________

1.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards to perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring their removal is complete.

Always use the greatest care when working near moving parts.

___________________________________________________

1.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan.

Do not attempt to override the governor or idler by pushing on the throttle control rods while the engine is running.

2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding machines

2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician before welding.

2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health effects which are now not known.

2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:

2.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure them with tape when possible.

2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.

2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and work cables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the work cable should also be on your right side.

___________________________________________________

1.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while turning the engine or welding generator during maintenance work, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or magneto wire as appropriate.

2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded.

2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

ii

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on.

Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.

3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.

Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and ground.

In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding must be performed under electrically hazardous conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use the following equipment:

• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.

• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.

• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.

3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode, electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding gun are also electrically “hot”.

3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical connection with the metal being welded. The connection should be as close as possible to the area being welded.

3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical

(earth) ground.

3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace damaged insulation.

3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.

3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage of both welders.

3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself from a fall should you get a shock.

3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.

SAFETY

ARC RAYS can burn.

4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.

4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays.

4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

ii

FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous.

5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases. When welding, keep your head out of the fume. Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When welding with electrodes which require special ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and within applicable OSHA PEL and

ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may be required.

Additional precautions are also required when welding on galvanized steel.

5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected by various factors including proper use and positioning of the equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific welding procedure and application involved. Worker exposure level should be checked upon installation and periodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicable

OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits.

5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.

The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.

5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

5.e. Read and understand the manufacturerʼs instructions for this equipment and the consumables to be used, including the material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your employerʼs safety practices. MSDS forms are available from your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

5.f. Also see item 1.b.

iii

WELDING and CUTTING

SPARKS can cause fire or explosion.

6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area.

If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire.

Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.

6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI

Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the equipment being used.

6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.

6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended

Safe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of

Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous

Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society

(see address above).

6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may explode.

6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.

Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.

6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical. Work cables connected to the building framework or other locations away from the welding area increase the possibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.

6.h. Also see item 1.c.

6.I. Read and follow NFPA 51B “ Standard for Fire Prevention

During Welding, Cutting and Other Hot Work”, available from NFPA , 1 Batterymarch Park, PO box 9101, Quincy, Ma

022690-9101.

6.j. Do not use a welding power source for pipe thawing.

SAFETY

CYLINDER may explode if damaged.

7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in good condition.

7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.

7.c. Cylinders should be located:

• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to physical damage.

• A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.

7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.

7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.

7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use.

7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l,

“Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in

Cylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association

1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

FOR ELECTRICALLY powered equipment.

8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect switch at the fuse box before working on the equipment.

8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National

Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturerʼs recommendations.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ

SAFETY

5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les zones où lʼon pique le laitier.

Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suivantes: iv

6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de prévenir tout risque dʼincendie dû aux étincelles.

Sûreté Pour Soudage A LʼArc

1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:

7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un

échauffement et un risque dʼincendie.

a. Les circuits à lʼélectrode et à la piéce sont sous tension quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans trous pour isoler les mains.

b. Faire trés attention de bien sʼisoler de la masse quand on soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.

c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble de soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état defonctionnement.

d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans lʼeau pour le refroidir.

e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le total de la tension à vide des deux machines.

f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions pour le porte-électrode sʼapplicuent aussi au pistolet de soudage.

8. Sʼassurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible de la zone de travail quʼil est pratique de le faire. Si on place la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou dʼautres endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de levage, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer des risques dʼincendie ou dʼechauffement des chaines et des câbles jusquʼà ce quʼils se rompent.

9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.

Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui produit des fumeés toxiques.

10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant dʼopérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La chaleur ou les rayons de lʼarc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique) ou autres produits irritants.

11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté, voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA

Standard W 117.2-1974.

2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais enrouler le câble-électrode autour de nʼimporte quelle partie du corps.

3. Un coup dʼarc peut être plus sévère quʼun coup de soliel, donc:

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR

LES MACHINES À SOUDER À

TRANSFORMATEUR ET À

REDRESSEUR

a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié ainsi quʼun verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du rayonnement de lʼarc et des projections quand on soude ou quand on regarde lʼarc.

b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de lʻarc.

c. Protéger lʼautre personnel travaillant à proximité au soudage à lʼaide dʼécrans appropriés et non-inflammables.

1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de lʼélectricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une bonne mise à la terre.

2. Autant que possible, Iʼinstallation et lʼentretien du poste seront effectués par un électricien qualifié.

4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de lʼarc de soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres de lʼhuile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pantalons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.

3. Avant de faires des travaux à lʼinterieur de poste, la debrancher à lʼinterrupteur à la boite de fusibles.

4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur place.

General Guidelines

RECOMMENDED WORK CABLE

SIZES FOR ARC WELDING

Connect the electrode and work cables between the appropriate output studs of the POWER WAVE R350 per the following guidelines:

A-6

• Select the appropriate size cables per the

“Output Cable Guidelines” below.

Excessive voltage drops caused by undersized welding cables and poor connections often result in unsatisfactory welding performance. Always use the largest welding cables (electrode and work) that are practical, and be sure all connections are clean and tight.

• Most welding applications run with the electrode being positive (+). For those applications, connect the electrode cable between the wire drive feed plate and the positive (+) output stud on the power source.

Connect a work lead from the negative (-) power source output stud to the work piece

• When negative electrode polarity is required, such as in some Innershield applications, reverse the output connections at the power source (electrode cable to the negative (-) stud, and work cable to the positive (+) stud).

Note: Excessive heat in the weld circuit indicates undersized cables and/or bad connections.

• Route all cables directly to the work and wire feeder, avoid excessive lengths and do not coil excess cable.

Route the electrode and work cables in close proximity to one another to minimize the loop area and therefore the inductance of the weld circuit.

CAUTION

• Always weld in a direction away from the work

(ground) connection.

Negative electrode polarity operation WITHOUT use of a remote work sense lead (21) requires the

Negative Electrode Polarity attribute to be set. See the Remote Sense Lead Specification section of this document for further details.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

For additional Safety information regarding the electrode and work cable set-up, See the standard

“ SAFETY INFORMATION ” located in the front of this

Instruction Manual.

Table A.1 shows copper cable sizes recommended for different currents and duty cycles. Lengths stipulated are the distance from the welder to work and back to the welder again. Cable sizes are increased for greater lengths primarily for the purpose of minimizing cable drop.

INSTALLATION

CABLE INDUCTANCE AND ITS

EFFECTS ON WELDING

Excessive cable inductance will cause the welding performance to degrade. There are several factors that contribute to the overall inductance of the cabling system including cable size, and loop area. The loop area is defined by the separation distance between the electrode and work cables, and the overall welding loop length. The welding loop length is defined as the total of length of the electrode cable (A) + work cable

(B) + work path (C) (See Figure A.6).

A-7

Depending upon the process, inductance within the electrode and work cables can influence the voltage apparent at the studs of the welder, and have a dramatic effect on performance. Remote voltage sense leads are used to improve the accuracy of the arc voltage information supplied to the control pc board.

Sense Lead Kits (K940-xx) are available for this purpose.

The POWER WAVE R350 has the ability to automatically sense when remote sense leads are connected.

With this feature there are no requirements for settingup the machine to use remote sense leads. This feature can be disabled through the Diagnostics Utility

(available at www.powerwavesoftware.com

).

To minimize inductance always use the appropriate size cables, and whenever possible, run the electrode and work cables in close proximity to one another to minimize the loop area. Since the most significant factor in cable inductance is the welding loop length, avoid excessive lengths and do not coil excess cable.

For long work piece lengths, a sliding ground should be considered to keep the total welding loop length as short as possible.

SPECIFICATIONS

Voltage Sensing Overview

CAUTION

If the auto sense lead feature is disabled and remote voltage sensing is enabled but the sense leads are missing, improperly connected extremely high welding outputs may occur.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

General Guidelines for Voltage Sense Leads

Sense leads should be attached as close to the weld as practical, and out of the weld current path when possible. In extremely sensitive applications it may be necessary to route cables that contain the sense leads away from the electrode and work welding cables.

The best arc performance occurs when the POWER

WAVE R350 has accurate data about the arc conditions.

Electrode Voltage Sensing

The remote ELECTRODE sense lead (67) is built into the 5-pin arclink control cable (K1543-xx) and is always connected to the wire drive feed plate when a wire feeder is present. Enabling or disabling electrode voltage sensing is application specific, and automatically configured by the active weld mode.

Work Voltage Sensing

While most applications perform adequately by sensing the work voltage directly at the output stud, the use of a remote work voltage sense lead is recommended for optimal performance. The remote WORK sense lead (21) can be accessed through the four-pin voltage sense connector located on the control panel by using the K940 Sense Lead Kit. It must be attached to the work as close to the weld as practical, but out of the weld current path. For more information regarding the placement of remote work voltage sense leads, see the section entitled "Voltage Sensing

Considerations for Multiple Arc Systems."

Negative Electrode Polarity

The POWER WAVE R350 has the ability to automatically sense the polarity of the sense leads. With this feature there are no set-up requirements for welding with negative electrode polarity. This feature can be disabled through the Diagnostics Utility (available at www.powerwavesoftware.com

).

CAUTION

If the auto sense lead feature is disabled and the weld polarity attribute is improperly configured extremely high welding outputs may occur.

VOLTAGE SENSING

CONSIDERATIONS FOR MULTIPLE

ARC SYSTEMS

If Sense Leads ARE Used:

Special care must be taken when more than one arc is welding simultaneously on a single part. Multiple arc applications do not necessarily dictate the use of remote work voltage sense leads, but they are strongly recommended.

A-9

• Position the sense leads out of the path of the weld current.

Especially any current paths common to adjacent arcs. Current from adjacent arcs can induce voltage into each others current paths that can be misinterpreted by the power sources, and result in arc interference.

If Sense Leads ARE NOT Used:

• Avoid common current paths. Current from adjacent arcs can induce voltage into each others current paths that can be misinterpreted by the power sources, and result in arc interference.

• For longitudinal applications , connect all work leads at one end of the weldment, and all of the work voltage sense leads at the opposite end of the weldment. Perform welding in the direction away from the work leads and toward the sense leads.

Connection Between Power Source and Wire

Feeder (K1785 or K2709 Control Cable)

General Guidelines

Genuine Lincoln control cables should be used at all times (except where noted otherwise). Lincoln cables are specifically designed for the communication and power needs of the Power Wave / Power Feed systems. Most are designed to be connected end to end for ease of extension. Generally, it is recommended that the total length not exceed 100ft. (30.5m). The use of non-standard cables, especially in lengths greater than 25 feet, can lead to communication problems (system shutdowns), poor motor acceleration

(poor arc starting), and low wire driving force (wire feeding problems). Always use the shortest length of control cable possible, and DO NOT coil excess cable .

The 14-pin wire feeder control cable connects the power source to the wire drive. It contains all of the necessary signals to drive the motor and monitor the arc, including the motor power, tachometer, and arc voltage feedback signals. The wire feeder connection on the POWER WAVE R350 is located in the upperright corner of the case back. The K2709 series external dress cable is recommended for severe duty applications such as hard automation or for robot arms not equipped with an internal control cable. Best results will be obtained when control cables are routed separate from the weld cables, especially in long distance applications. Maximum cable length should not exceed 25ft (7.6m).

Connection Between Power Source and Ethernet

Networks

Regarding cable placement, best results will be obtained when 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. These recommendations apply to all communication cables including ArcLink® and

Ethernet connections.

Product specific Installation Instructions

Connection Between Power Source and ArcLink®

Compatible Wirefeeders (K1543-xx, K2683-xx –

ArcLink Control Cable)

The POWER WAVE R350 is equipped with an IP67 rated ODVA compliant RJ-45 Ethernet connector, which is located on the rear panel. All external

Ethernet equipment (cables, switches, etc.), as defined by the connection diagrams, must be supplied by the customer. It is critical that all Ethernet cables external to either a conduit or an enclosure are solid conductor, shielded cat 5e cable, with a drain. The drain should be grounded at the source of transmission. For best results, route Ethernet cables away from weld cables, wire drive control cables, or any other current carrying device that can create a fluctuating magnetic field. For additional guidelines refer to

ISO/IEC 11801. Failure to follow these recommendations can result in an Ethernet connection failure during welding.

The 5-pin ArcLink control cable connects the power source to the wire feeder. The control cable consists of two power leads, one twisted pair for digital communication, and one lead for voltage sensing. The 5pin ArcLink connection on the POWER WAVE R350 is located on the rear panel above the power cord. The control cable is keyed and polarized to prevent improper connection. Best results will be obtained when control cables are routed separate from the weld cables, especially in long distance applications.

The recommended combined length of the ArcLink control cable network should not exceed 200ft.

(61.0m).

Selecting a Wire Drive and Setting the Wire Drive

Gear Ratio.

The POWER WAVE R350 can accommodate a number of standard wire drives including the AutoDrive

4R100 (default), AutoDrive 4R220, and PF-10R. The feeder control system must be configured for both the wire drive type and gear ratio (high or low speed range). This can be accomplished with the Weld

Manager Utility (included on the Power Wave

Utilities and Service Navigator CDʼs or available at www.powerwavesoftware.com

).

OPERATION

COMMON WELDING PROCEDURES

Basic Welding Controls

WARNING

MAKING A WELD

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 programs. These variables include, but are not limited to, welding procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design, fabrication methods and service 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.

Choose the electrode material, electrode size, shielding gas, and process (GMAW, GMAW-P etc.) appropriate for the material to be welded.

Select the weld mode that best matches the desired welding process. The standard weld set shipped with the POWER WAVE® R350 encompasses a wide range of common processes that will meet most needs. If a special weld mode is desired, contact the local Lincoln Electric sales representative.

All adjustments are made through the user interface.

Because of the different configuration options your system may not have all of the following adjustments.

See Accessories Section for Kits and Options avaliable to use with the POWER WAVE® R350.

Definition 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 correct voltage and amperage based on the Wire Feed

Speed (WFS) set by the operator.

B-5

Weld Mode

Selecting a weld mode determines the output characteristics of the Power Wave power source. Weld modes are developed with a specific electrode material, electrode size, and shielding gas. For a more complete description of the weld modes programmed into the POWER WAVE® R350 at the factory, refer to the

Weld Set Reference Guide supplied with the machine or available at www.powerwavesoftware.com.

Wire Feed Speed (WFS)

In synergic welding modes (synergic CV, GMAW-P),

WFS is the dominant control parameter. The user adjusts WFS according to factors such as wire size, penetration requirements, heat input, etc. The

POWER WAVE® R350 then uses the WFS setting to adjust the voltage and current according to settings contained in the Power Wave.

In non-synergic modes, the WFS control behaves like a conventional power source where WFS and voltage are independent adjustments. Therefore, to maintain proper arc characteristics, the operator must adjust the voltage to compensate for any changes made to the WFS.

Amps

In constant current modes, this control adjusts the welding amperage.

Volts

In constant voltage modes, this control adjusts the welding voltage.

Trim

In pulse synergic welding modes, the Trim setting adjusts the arc length. Trim is adjustable from 0.50 to

1.50. 1.00 is the nominal setting and is a good starting point for most conditions.

UltimArc™ Control

UltimArc™ Control allows the operator to vary the arc characteristics. UltimArc™ Control is adjustable from

–10.0 to +10.0 with a nominal setting of 0.0.

POWER WAVE® R350

B-6

OPERATION

GTAW (TIG) WELDING

The welding current can be set through a PF10M or

PF25M wire feeder.

The TIG mode features continuous control from 5 to

350 amps with the use of an optional foot amptrol

(K870). The POWER WAVE® R350 can be run in either a Touch Start TIG mode or Scratch start TIG mode.

B-6

PULSE WELDING

Pulse welding procedures are set by controlling an overall “arc length” variable. When pulse welding, the arc voltage is highly dependent upon the waveform.

The peak current, back ground current, rise time, fall time and pulse frequency all affect the voltage. The exact voltage for a given wire feed speed can only be predicted when all the pulsing waveform parameters are known. Using a preset voltage becomes impractical and instead the arc length is set by adjusting

“trim”. CONSTANT VOLTAGE WELDING

Synergic CV

For each wire feed speed, a corresponding voltage is preprogrammed into the machine through special software at the factory.

Trim adjusts the arc length and ranges from 0.50 to

1.50 with a nominal value of 1.00. Trim values greater than 1.00 increase the arc length, while values less than 1.00 decrease the arc length. (See figure B.3)

The nominal preprogrammed voltage is the best average voltage for a given wire feed speed, but may be adjusted to preference. When the wire feed speed changes, the Power Wave automatically adjusts the voltage level correspondingly to maintain similar arc characteristics throughout the WFS range.

Non Synergic CV

In non-synergic modes, the WFS control behaves more like a conventional CV power source where

WFS and voltage are independent adjustments.

Therefore to maintain the arc characteristics, the operator must adjust the voltage to compensate for any changes made to the WFS.

All CV Modes

Pinch adjusts the apparent inductance of the wave shape. The “pinch” function is inversely proportional to inductance. Therefore, increasing Pinch Control greater than 0.0 results in a crisper arc (more spatter) while decreasing the Pinch Control to less than 0.0

provides a softer arc (less spatter).

OPERATION

Most pulse welding programs are synergic. As the wire feed speed is adjusted, the POWER WAVE®

R350 will automatically recalculate the waveform parameters to maintain similar arc properties.

The POWER WAVE® R350 utilizes “adaptive control” to compensate for changes in the electrical stick-out while welding. (Electrical stick-out is the distance from the contact tip to the work piece.) The POWER

WAVE® R350 waveforms are optimized for a 0.75” stick-out. The adaptive behavior supports a range of stick-outs from 0.50 to 1.25”. At very low or high wire feed speeds, the adaptive range may be less due to reaching physical limitations of the welding process.

UltimArc™ Control adjusts the focus or shape of the arc. UltimArc™ Control is adjustable from -10.0 to

+10.0 with a nominal setting of 0.0. Increasing the

UltimArc™ Control increases the pulse frequency and background current while decreasing the peak current. This results in a tight, stiff arc used for high speed sheet metal welding. Decreasing the

UltimArc™ Control decreases the pulse frequency and background current while increasing the peak current. This results in a soft arc good for out of position welding. (See Figure B.4)

MAINTENANCE

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Do not operate with covers removed.

• Turn off power source before installing or servicing.

• Do not touch electrically hot parts.

• Turn the input power to the welding power source off at the fuse box before working in the terminal strip.

• Only qualified personnel should install, use or service this equipment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Routine maintenance consists of periodically blowing out the machine, using a low-pressure air stream, to remove accumulated dust and dirt from the intake and outlet louvers, and the cooling channels in the machine.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Calibration of the POWER WAVE® R350 is critical to its operation. Generally speaking the calibration will not need adjustment. However, neglected or improperly calibrated machines may not yield satisfactory weld performance. To ensure optimal performance, the calibration of output Voltage and Current should be checked yearly.

CALIBRATION SPECIFICATION

Output Voltage and Current are calibrated at the factory. Generally the machine calibration will not need adjustment. However, if the weld performance changes, or the yearly calibration check reveals a problem, use the calibration section of the

Diagnostics Utility to make the appropriate adjustments.

The calibration procedure itself requires the use of a grid, and certified actual meters for voltage and current. The accuracy of the calibration will be directly affected by the accuracy of the measuring equipment you use. The Diagnostics Utility includes detailed instructions, and is available on the Service

Navigator CD or at www.powerwavesoftware.com

.

TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOT SYSTEM PROBLEMS

E-2

Included in this section is information about the Status

Lights and some basic troubleshooting charts for both machine and weld performance.

There are two status lights that display error codes. If a problem occurs it is important to note the condition of the status lights. Therefore, prior to cycling power to the system, check the power source status light for error sequences as noted below.

The status lights for the main control board is a dual-color

LEDʼs. Normal operation for each is steady green. Where as the status light on the input control board is one color.

Normal operation is for the status light to be off ( and the buzzer to be off).

There is one externally mounted status light located on the case front of the machine. This status light corresponds to the main control boardʼs status. A second status light is internal and is located on the input control board and can be seen by looking through the left case side louvers. There is an audible beeper associated with this input control boardʼs status light. So the error codes on the input board can be detected through either the status light or the status beeper.

Error conditions are indicated in the following Table E.1.
