should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.
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.
4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant
material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from
the arc rays.
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.
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.
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:
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 circum-
stances, outdoors, a respirator may be required.
Additional precautions are also required when welding
on galvanized steel.
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.
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 spe-
cific 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.
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.
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 prod-
ucts.
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.
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 manufacturer’s instructions for this
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the
material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your
employer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available from
your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

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.
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.
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.
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.
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other
electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
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).
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.
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.
FOR ELECTRICALLY
powered equipment.
8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect
switch at the fuse box before working on
the equipment.
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 cir-
cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains
or cables until they fail.
8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National
Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National

5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les
zones où l’on 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 suiv-
antes:
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
prévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.
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 d’incendie.
Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:
a. Les circuits à l’électrode 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.
8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible
de la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on place
la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres
endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque
de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev-
age, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer
des risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et des
câbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.
b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler 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.
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.
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour le
refroidir.
10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant
d’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La
chaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs
du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)
ou autres produits irritants.
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 s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de
soudage.
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 n’importe quelle partie
du corps.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À
REDRESSEUR
3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel,
donc:
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié
ainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-
onnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ou
quand on regarde l’arc.
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de
l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif
de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une
bonne mise à la terre.
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la
peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de
l‘arc.
c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité au
soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.
2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seront
effectués par un électricien qualifié.
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc de
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres
de l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-
talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.
3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debranch-
er à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur
place.

LOCATION AND MOUNTING
ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITATIONS
Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely
circulate in through the rear louvers and out through
the case sides and front. Dirt, dust, or any foreign
material that can be drawn into the welder should be
kept at a minimum. Do not use air filters on the air
intake because the air flow will be restricted. Failure to
observe these precautions can result in excessive
operating temperatures and nuisance shutdowns.
Do not use the Power Wave AC/DC 1000 in an out-
door environment. The Power Wave AC/DC 1000
power source should not be subjected to falling water,
nor should any parts of it be submerged in water.
Doing so may cause improper operation as well as
pose a safety hazard. The best practice is to keep the
machine in a dry, sheltered area.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
(EMC)
CAUTION
The EMC classification ot the Power Wave AC/DC
1000 is Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) group
2, class A. The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 is for indus-
trial use only.
DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SUR-
FACES.

INSTALLATION
INPUT AND GROUND CONNECTIONS
I
NPUT FUSE AND SUPPLY WIRE
CONSIDERATIONS
MACHINE GROUNDING
Refer to Specifications page for recommended fuse and
wire sizes. Fuse the input circuit with the recommended
super lag fuse or delay type breakers (also called "inverse
time" or "thermal/magnetic" circuit breakers). Choose input
and grounding wire size according to local or national elec-
trical codes. Using fuses or circuit breakers smaller than
recommended may result in "nuisance" shut-offs from
welder inrush currents, even if the machine is not being
used at high currents.
The frame of the welder must be grounded. A ground
terminal marked with the symbol shown is located
inside the reconnect / input access door for this pur-
pose. See your local and national electrical codes for
proper grounding methods.
INPUT CONNECTION
WARNING
INPUT VOLTAGE SELECTION
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Only a qualified electrician should
connect the input leads to the
Power Wave. Connections should
be made in accordance with all
local and National Electrical
Codes and the connection dia-
gram located on the inside of the
reconnect / input access door of
the machine. Failure to do so may
result in bodily injury or death.
Welders are shipped connected for the highest input voltage
listed on the rating plate. To move this connection to a dif-
ferent input voltage, see the diagram located on the inside
of the input access door, or the Reconnect Diagram K2344-
1 and K2344-2 shown below. If the Auxiliary lead (indicated
as ‘A’) is placed in the wrong position, there are two possi-
ble results. If the lead is placed in a position higher than the
applied line voltage, the welder may not come on at all. If
the Auxiliary lead is placed in a position lower than the
applied line voltage, the welder will not come on, and the
two circuit breakers in the reconnect area will open. If this
occurs, turn off the input voltage, properly connect the aux-
iliary lead, reset the breakers, and try again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

INSTALLATION
SYSTEM CONNECTION
A PLC interface is an alternate method of control for
larger systems. The PLC is typically connected via
DeviceNet directly to the Power Wave System
Interface, and the Master power source of each arc
group in the system.
System Overview
The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 power source is
designed to be a part of a modular welding system
typically controlled by a Power Feed 10A Controller
or customer supplied Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC). Each welding arc may be driven by
a single power source or by a number of power
sources connected in parallel. The actual number of
power sources per arc will vary depending on the
application. When only one power source is required
for an arc group, it must be configured as a Master.
When multiple parallel machines are required, one is
designated as the Master and the rest as Slaves. The
Master controls the AC switching for the arc group,
and the Slaves respond accordingly.
The following list of Recommended and Optional
equipment is included as a reference for the follow-
ing connection diagrams. The connection diagrams
describe the layout of three typical systems. Each
diagram has a step by step Installation Checklist.
Additionally, a dedicated diagram has been provided
detailing the parallel connection of machines for
extra output capacity which can be applied to the
system diagrams as required.
When employed in a multi-arc AC system it is benefi-
cial to synchronize the arcs to each other. The Master
for each arc can be configured to follow a dedicated
external synchronization signal to determine its fre-
quency and balance. The optional Power Wave
System Interface provides the means to synchronize
the AC wave shapes of up to four different arcs to a
common carrier frequency. This frequency can range
from 10 hertz to 300 hertz, with the most practical
range being 10 to 100 hertz. It can also control the
phase angle between arcs to reduce the effects of
welding related issues such as "Arc Blow".
The arc to arc phase relationship is determined by the
timing of each arc’s "sync" signal relative to the "sync"
signal of ARC 1.
In a typical multi-arc system, each arc is controlled by
its own Power Feed 10A Controller. The basic charac-
teristics of the individual arcs such as WFS, ampli-
tude, and offset are set locally by each arc’s dedicated
controller. The frequency, balance, and phase shift
parameters of each arc are controlled by the Power
Feed 10A Controller for ARC 1, which must be con-
nected to its Master through the Power Wave System
Interface (see multi-arc Connection Diagrams on the
next few pages).

ELECTRODE AND WORK
CONNECTIONS
For parallel applications with excessive electrode
cable lengths, a common bus connection should be
used. The common electrode connection serves to
minimize voltage drops associated with resistive loss-
es in the electrode path. It should be made of copper,
and located as close as possible to the power
sources. (See "Connection Diagram – Parallel
Machines")
General Guidelines
The unique switching structure of the Power Wave
AC/DC 1000 allows it to produce DC positive, DC
negative or AC output waveforms without reposition-
ing the work and electrode leads. Additionally, no DIP
switch changes are required to switch between the dif-
ferent polarities. All of this is controlled internally by
the Power Wave AC/DC 1000, and based exclusively
on the weld mode selection.
Work Connections
Connect a work lead of sufficient size and length (Per
Table 1) between the "work" stud (located beneath the
spring loaded output cover on the top, front of the
machine) and the work piece. For convenience, the
work lead can be routed along the left cable tray, and
out the back of the machine. Be sure the connection
to the work makes tight metal-to-metal electrical con-
tact.
The following recommendations apply to all output
polarities and weld modes:
• Select the appropriate size cables per the
"Output Cable Guidelines" below. Excessive volt-
age drops caused by undersized welding cables
and poor connections often result in unsatisfactory
welding performance. Always use the largest weld-
ing cables (electrode and work) that are practical,
and be sure all connections are clean and tight.
For parallel and/or multiple arc applications with
excessive ground path lengths, a common work con-
nection bus should be used. The common work con-
nection serves to minimize voltage drops associated
with resistive losses in the ground paths. It should be
made out of copper, and located as close as possible
to the power sources (See Common Connection
Diagram).
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.

• Always weld in a direction away from the work
(ground) connection.

Electrode Voltage Sensing
CABLE INDUCTANCE, AND ITS EFFECTS
ON WELDING
The remote ELECTRODE sense lead (67) is built into
the wire feeder control cable (K1785) and accessible
at the wire drive. It should 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
through software.
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.1 below). To mini-
mize inductance always use the appropriate size
cables, and whenever possible, run the electrode and
work cables in close proximity to one another to mini-
mize 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.
Work Voltage Sensing
For most applications the use of a remote work volt-
age sense lead is recommended. The Power Wave
AC/DC 1000 is shipped from the factory with the
remote work voltage sense lead enabled. 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." The remote
WORK sense lead (21) can be accessed at one of two
locations. Either at the wire drive via the wire feeder
control cable (K1785), or at the four-pin WORK sense
lead connector located under the spring loaded output
cover. Whenever possible, use the WORK sense lead
that is built into wire feeder control cable (K1785)
since it is closely coupled with the ELECTRODE
sense lead and will tend to be more immune to electri-
cal noise. If it is not possible to sense the WORK volt-
age near the feeder, the four-pin WORK sense lead
connector at the power source should be used (a plug
and pigtail assembly is provided for this purpose).

REMOTE SENSE LEAD CONNECTIONS
Voltage Sensing Overview
CAUTION
The best arc performance occurs when the Power
Wave AC/DC 1000 has accurate data about the arc
conditions. 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. To counteract this
negative effect, remote voltage sense leads are used
to improve the accuracy of the arc voltage information
supplied to the control pc board.
Never connect the WORK sense lead at two differ-
ent locations.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch electrically live parts or
electrodes with your skin or wet
clothing.
• Insulate yourself from the work and
ground.
There are several different sense lead configurations
that can be used depending on the application. In
extremely sensitive applications it may be necessary
to route cables that contain the sense leads away
from the electrode and work welding cables.
• Always wear dry insulating gloves.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Some simplified applications may perform adequately
by sensing the work voltage directly at the WORK
STUD without the use of a remote work voltage sense
lead. If a remote work voltage sense lead is not used,
it must be disabled as follows:
CAUTION
If the remote voltage sensing is enabled but the
sense leads are missing, improperly connected, or
if the electrode polarity switch is improperly con-
figured extremely high welding outputs may
occur.
1. Turn off power to the power source at the dis-
connect switch.
2. Remove the front cover from the power source.

c. Locate the 8-position DIP switch on the control

VOLTAGE SENSING CONSIDERATIONS FOR
MULTIPLE ARC SYSTEMS
d. Using a pencil or other small object, slide the
switch to the OFF position if the work sense lead
is NOT connected. Conversely, slide the switch
to the ON position if the work sense lead is pre-
sent.
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 strong-
ly recommended.
If Sense Leads ARE NOT Used:
O 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
N
• Avoid common current paths. Current from adja-
cent arcs can induce voltage into each others cur-
rent paths that can be misinterpreted by the power
sources, and result in arc interference.
e. Replace the cover and screws. The PC board will
read the switch at power up, and configure the work
voltage sense lead appropriately.
If Sense Leads ARE Used:
• Position the sense leads out of the path of the
weld current. Especially any current paths com-
mon 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.
Voltage Sensing for "Slave" machines
If "Slave" machines are configured to use remote volt-
age sensing they receive these signals directly from
the "Master" machine. The K1795 control cable used
for parallel connection of machines contains both the
ELECTRODE sense lead (67) and the WORK sense
lead (21). No other external sense lead connections
are required for "Slave" machines.
• 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.
(See Figure A.2)
NOTE: All of the machines of a given arc group
(both Master and Slaves) must have their
work voltage sensing configured identical-
ly. All must either use a remote lead or
sense directly from the stud. For addition-
al information see the "Work Voltage
Sensing" section of this document.

INSTALLATION
The 5-pin ArcLink control cable connects the power
source to the PF-10A. If there is more than one power
source per arc, it connects from the PF-10A to the
power source designated as the Master for that arc.
The control cable consists of two power leads, one
twisted pair for digital communication, and one lead
for voltage sensing. The ArcLink connection on the
Power Wave AC/DC 1000 is located under the spring
loaded output cover on the case front. The control
cable is keyed and polarized to prevent improper con-
nection. For convenience, the control cables can be
routed along the right channel of the Power Wave, out
the back, and to the PF-10A. Control cables SHOULD
NOT be routed through the same (left) channel as the
welding cables.
CONTROL CABLE CONNECTIONS
General Guidelines
Genuine Lincoln control cables should be used at
all times (except where noted otherwise). Lincoln
cables are specifically designed for the communica-
tion and power needs of the Power Wave / Power
Feed systems. Most are designed to be connected
end to end for ease of extension. However, it is rec-
ommended that the total length not exceed 100 feet
(30.5 m). The use of non-standard cables, especially
in lengths greater than 25 feet, can lead to communi-
cation 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.
In multiple arc systems equipped with a Power Wave
System Interface (K2282-1), and controlled by PF-10A
controllers, the system interface must be connected to
the ArcLink network of the ARC1 Master power
source. See the "Tandem Arc Connection Diagram"
for detailed information.
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 optional DeviceNet
and Ethernet connections.
Connections Between Power Source and Optional
DeviceNet Programmable Logic Controller(PLC). It
is sometimes more practical and cost effective to use
a custom PLC interface to control a multi-arc system
(refer to the "DeviceNet Configuration" section for
interface information). The Power Wave AC/DC 1000
is equipped with a 5-pin DeviceNet mini style recepta-
cle for this purpose. The receptacle is located under
the spring loaded output cover on the case front. The
DeviceNet cable is keyed and polarized to prevent
improper connection. For convenience, it can be rout-
ed along the right channel of the Power Wave, and
out the back. DeviceNet cables SHOULD NOT be
routed through the same (left) channel as the welding
cables.
COMMON EQUIPMENT CONNECTIONS
Connection Between Power Source and Power
Feed 10S Series Wire feeder (K1785 - Control
Cable). The 14-pin wire feeder control cable connects
the power source to the wire drive. If there is more
than one power source per arc, it connects from the
wire drive to the power source designated as the
Master. 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
AC/DC 1000 is located under the spring loaded output
cover on the case front. The control cable is keyed
and polarized to prevent improper connection. For
convenience, the control cables can be routed along
the right channel of the Power Wave, out the back,
and to the wire feeder. Control cables SHOULD NOT
be routed through the same (left) channel as the weld-
ing cables.
In a typical system, a DeviceNet connection is made
between the master power source of each arc, and
the PLC interface. When a Power Wave System
Interface (K2282-1) is used to synchronize the arcs, it
must also be connected to the DeviceNet network. For
best results, route DeviceNet cables away from weld
cables, wire drive control cables, or any other current
carrying device that can create a fluctuating magnetic
field. DeviceNet cables must be sourced locally by the
customer. For additional guidelines refer to the
"DeviceNet Cable Planning and Installation Manual"
(Allen Bradley publication DN-6.7.2).
Connection Between Power Source and Power
Feed 10A Controller (K1543 – ArcLink Control
Cable). Single and tandem arc systems are typically
controlled by a Power Feed 10A Controller (K2362-1).
In a tandem, or multi-arc system, each arc requires its
own dedicated Power Feed 10A (PF-10A).

INSTALLATION
Connections Between Multiple Power Sources
Run in Parallel (K1795 - Control Cable). To increase
the output capacity for a given arc, the output studs of
multiple Power Wave AC/DC 1000 machines can be
connected in parallel. The parallel machines utilize a
master/slave control scheme to distribute the load and
coordinate AC switching. The 22 pin parallel control
cable contains all of the necessary signals to keep the
machine outputs synchronized, including polarity,
ready, kill, and arc voltage feedback signals. The
cable connects between the Master/Slave I/O connec-
tors (S12 & S13) located on the rear of the Power
Wave AC/DC 1000. The input connector (S12) is
located on the lower left side of the case back (as
viewed from the rear), and the output connector (S13)
is located on the lower right side. The output connec-
tor (S13) on the master connects to the input connec-
tor (S12) on the slave. If needed the output connector
on the slave machine can be used to connect to the
input connector of another slave machine in a daisy
chain fashion. This connection scheme can be repeat-
ed as required until the desired output capacity is
achieved. The system is currently limited to a maxi-
mum of 5 slaves per master, or a total of 6 machines
per arc.
NOTE: See Ethernet Configuration section for addi-
tional information.
Connections Between a Power Source and
System Interface (K1795 - Control Cable). When
multiple arcs need to be synchronized, a Power Wave
System Interface (K2282-1) is required. The system
interface provides a dedicated synchronization signal
for frequency and balance to each of the four ARC
(a.k.a. PHASE) receptacles. The synchronization sig-
nals for ARC1 through ARC4 can be phase shifted
with respect to one another to reduce the effects of
"arc blow" and other welding related issues. The indi-
vidual synchronization signals are relayed to the mas-
ter machine of their corresponding arc via a 22 pin
control cable. The control cable(s) connect between
the individual ARC receptacles on the system inter-
face, and the Master/Slave input connector on the
master of each corresponding arc group. The
Master/Slave input connector (S12) is located on the
lower left side of the case back (as viewed from the
rear) of the Power Wave AC/DC 1000.
NOTE: In addition to the 22-pin arc synchronization
cables, the system interface also requires a
connection to the system controller either via
ArcLink for Power Feed 10A controlled sys-
tems (see "Connection Between Power
Source and Power Feed 10A Controller" ), or
via DeviceNet for PLC controlled systems (see
"Connection Between a Power Source and
Optional DeviceNet PLC Controller").
NOTE: In addition to the parallel control cable, parallel
connected machines also require an Ethernet
connection to share critical weld parameter
information. For more information refer to the
"Connections Between a Power Source and
Ethernet Network" section of this document.
Connection Between Power Source and Ethernet
Network. Ethernet connections are required for sys-
tems with parallel connected power sources (more
than one power source per arc), or to utilize the tools
provided in the Power Wave Submerged Arc Utilities
software package. To facilitate this, the Power Wave
AC/DC 1000 is equipped with an RJ-45 Ethernet con-
nector, which is located under the spring loaded out-
put cover. External Ethernet equipment (cables,
switches, etc.) must be supplied by the customer. It is
critical that all Ethernet cables external to either a con-
duit or an enclosure are solid conductor, shielded cat
5 cable, with a drain. The drain should be grounded
at the source. The use of cat 5+, cat 5E, cat 6 or
stranded cable is not recommended. 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.
Connections Between a Power Source and Local
PC (RS-232 – Null Modem Cable). For diagnostic
and set up purposes it is sometimes necessary to
connect the power source directly to a PC (personal
computer). The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 is equipped
with an RS-232 DB-25 style serial connector for this
purpose. It is located under the spring loaded output
cover on the case front. RS-232 cables must be sup-
plied by the user (Radio Shack part # 26-269; Note:
USB port adapter - part #26-183 - is also required for
PC’s equipped with USB instead of a serial port). For
best results, route the RS-232 cable away from weld
cables, wire drive control cables, or any other current
carrying device that can create a fluctuating magnetic
field.

the feeder, see the Wirefeeder Instruction Manual. To
achieve the correct speed, the power source must
also be configured for the actual gear ratio installed in
the wire drive per the instructions below:
* These Gear Ratios options are enabled in
S25564-11 and later Feed Head software.
ETHERNET CONFIGURATION
WARNING
Ethernet capability is provided for data monitoring, or
to enable parallel machine operation. To utilize these
features the network settings of each Power Wave
AC/DC 1000 must be properly configured. This is
accomplished through the use of the Weld Manager
software utility. Follow the instructions provided with
the utility to properly configure the Ethernet address.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch electrically live parts
or electrodes with your skin or wet
clothing.
• Insulate yourself from the work and
ground.
When used in a system with parallel machines, the
Submerged Arc Cell Configuration software utility
must be used to map the master/slave relationships
within and between the different arc groups. This utili-
ty allows the user to configure the system by selecting
from a list of master and slave machines (as deter-
mined by their individual dip switch settings).
• Always wear dry insulating gloves.
WARNING
-----------------------------------------------------------
(See Figure A.3a)
NOTE: Each machine must be configured as either a
Master or Slave via the dip switches on the
Ethernet PC Board. Furthermore, Master
machines must be configured for either inter-
nal synchronization (stand alone applica-
tions), or external synchronization (multiple
arc applications utilizing a Power Wave
System Interface). See the "Internal Controls"
section of this document.
1. Turn off power to the power source at the dis-
connect switch. All configuration changes must
be made with the power OFF.
2. Access the Feed Head board and External I/O con-
nector to configure the power source per table
A.9a.
3. Replace the cover and screws as required. The
Feed Head PC board will "read" the new configura-
tion at power up, and automatically adjust all control
parameters for the speed range selected.

rect voltage and amperage based on the wire feed
speed (WFS) set by the operator.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Unless using cold feed feature, when
feeding with gun trigger, the elec-
trode and drive mechanism are
always electrically energized and
could remain energized several sec-
onds after the welding ceases.
COMMON WELDING ABBREVIATIONS

OPERATION
PRODUCT SUMMARY
Only the ArcLink Power Feed 10S series wire feeders
and Power Feed 10A controller may be used in a
standard system. Other Lincoln or non-Lincoln wire
feeders can only be used with custom interfaces.
The Power Wave AC/DC will support a maximum
average output current of 1000 Amps at 100% Duty
Cycle.
The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 is a high performance,
digitally controlled inverter welding power source. It is
capable of producing a variable frequency and ampli-
tude AC output, DC positive output, or DC negative
output without the need for external reconnection. It
utilizes complex, high-speed waveform control to sup-
port a variety of constant current and constant voltage
welding modes in each of its output configurations.
COMMON EQUIPMENT PACKAGES
Basic Package
The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 power source is
designed to be a part of a modular welding system.
Each welding arc may be driven by a single machine,
or by a number of machines in parallel. In multiple arc
applications the phase angle and frequency of differ-
ent machines can be synchronized with the use of an
external System Interface to improve performance
and reduce the effects of arc blow.

OPERATION
DUTY CYCLE
OVERVIEW OF THE AC/DC SUBMERGED
ARC PROCESS
The Power Wave AC/DC is capable of welding at a
100% duty cycle (continuous welding).
The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 combines the advan-
tages of AC and DC Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)
into a single power source. The limiting factor of AC-
SAW welding has always been the time it takes to
transition from positive to negative polarity. This lag
through the zero crossing can cause arc instability,
penetration, and deposition problems in certain appli-
cations. The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 utilizes the
speed of an inverter based power source, and the
flexibility of Waveform Control Technology™ to
address this issue. By adjusting the Frequency, Wave
Balance and Offset of the AC waveform the operator
can now control the balance (relationship) between
the penetration of DC positive and the deposition of
DC negative while taking full advantage of the reduc-
tion in arc blow associated with AC.
COMMON WELDING PROCEDURES
MAKING A WELD
The serviceability of a product or structure utiliz-
ing 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 selec-
tion.
FIGURE B.1
AC/DC Submerged Arc Process
The steps for operating the Power Wave AC/DC 1000
will vary depending upon the user interface of the
welding system. The flexibility of the Power Wave
AC/DC 1000 lets the user customize operation for the
best performance.

OPERATION
BASIC MODES OF OPERATION
MULTIPLE ARC SYSTEM
CONSIDERATIONS
CONSTANT CURRENT (CC)
• Operator presets Current and desired Voltage.
• The Power Source:
- Goal is to maintain a constant arc length.
- Drives a constant Current.
- Synergically Controls WFS to Maintain Voltage
at the desired Set point.
• Arc Length is proportional to Voltage.
• Traditionally used for larger diameter wires and
slower travel speeds.
Large scale SAW applications often employ multiple
arcs to increase deposition rates. In multiple arc sys-
tems, magnetic forces created by like and opposing
weld currents of adjacent arcs can result in arc inter-
action that can physically push or pull the arc columns
together. To counteract this effect, the phase relation-
ship between adjacent arcs can be adjusted to alter-
nate and equalize the duration of magnetic push and
pull forces. This is accomplished by the use of an
optional K2282-1 Power Wave System Interface,
which not only synchronizes the arcs, but also
enables adjustment of the phase relationship between
them. Ideally, the net result is a cancellation of the
interacting forces.

OPERATION
WELD SEQUENCE:
END OPTIONS
The weld sequence defines the weld procedure from
beginning to end. The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 not
only provides adjustment of basic welding parameters,
but also allows the operator to fine tune the start and
finish of each weld for superior performance.
The Downslope, Crater, and Burnback parameters
are used to define the end of the weld sequence.
• Downslope determines the amount of time it takes
to ramp from the Weld parameters to the Crater
parameters. The transition is linear and may be up
or down depending on the relationship between the
Weld and Crater settings.
All adjustments are made through 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.
• Crater parameters are typically used to fill the crater
at the end of the weld, and include both time and
output settings.
Weld Sequence
• Burnback defines the amount of time the output
remains on after the wire has stopped. This feature
is used to prevent the wire from sticking in the weld
puddle, and condition the end of the wire for the
next weld. A Burnback time of 0.4 sec is sufficient in
most applications. The output level for Burnback is
generally set to the same level as the last active
weld sequence state (either Weld or Crater).

Time
Weld sequence adjustments allow the operator to fine tune the start and finish

RE-STRIKE TIMER
If the arc goes out for any reason (short circuit or open
circuit), the Power Wave AC/DC 1000 will enter a Re-
strike state. During this state the system will automati-
cally manipulate the WFS and output in an attempt to
re-establish the arc. The Re-strike timer determines
how long the system will attempt to re-establish the
arc before it shuts down.
START OPTIONS
The Strike, Start, and Upslope parameters are used at
the beginning of the weld sequence to establish a sta-
ble arc and provide a smooth transition to the welding
parameters.
• Used to protect the welding system and/or work
piece being welded.
• A Re-strike time of 1 to 2 sec is sufficient in most
applications.
• Strike settings are valid from the beginning of the
sequence (Trigger) until the arc is established. They
control Run-in (speed at which the wire approaches
the workpiece), and provide the power to establish
the arc.
- Typically output levels are increased and
WFS is reduced during the Strike portion of
the weld sequence
• Start values allow the arc to become stabilized once
it is established.
- Extended Start times or improperly set para-
meters can result poor starting
• Upslope determines the amount of time it takes to
ramp from the Start parameters to the Weld para-
meters. The transition is linear and may be up or
down depending on the relationship between the
Start and Weld settings.

OPERATION
WELD PROCESS ADJUSTMENTS
DC OFFSET
Depending on the weld mode, there are a number of
adjustments that can be made, including but not limit-
ed to Current, Voltage and WFS. These adjustments
apply to either AC or DC processes, and control the
basic parameters of the weld.
• Refers to +/- shift of the current waveform with
respect to the zero crossing.
• Use Offset to control the penetration and deposition
of a given process.

Phase
The phase relationship between the arcs helps to
minimize the magnetic interaction between adjacent
arcs. It is essentially a time offset between the wave-
forms of different arcs, and is set in terms of an angle
from 0 to 360°, representing no offset to a full period
offset. The offset of each arc is set independently
with respect to the lead arc of the system (ARC 1).
Recommendations:
• For balanced waveforms a phase relationship of 90°
should be maintained between adjacent arcs.

MAINTENANCE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Only Qualified personnel should
perform this maintenance.
• Turn the input power OFF at the
disconnect switch or fuse box
before working on this equip-
ment.
•
Do not touch electrically hot parts.
-----------------------------------------------------------
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance consists of periodically
blowing out the machine, using a low-pressure
airstream, to remove accumulated dust and dirt
from the intake and outlet louvers, and the cool-
ing channels in the machine.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Calibration of the Power Wave AC/DC 1000 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 speaking the machine calibration
will not need adjustment. However, if the weld per-
formance 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 (Resistive Load Bank), 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 Power Wave Submerged
Arc Utilities and Service Navigator CD’s.

USING THE STATUS LED TO
TROUBLESHOOT SYSTEM PROBLEMS
Included in this section is information about the power
source, Wire Drive Module, and Communication
Module Status LED’s, and some basic troubleshoot-
ing charts for both machine and weld performance.
The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 is equipped with three
externally mounted status lights, one for the power
source, and each module contained in the power
source. 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 are dual-color LED’s that indi-
cate system errors. Normal operation for each is
steady green. Error conditions are indicated in the fol-
lowing chart.

ration, or an open/short circuit in the primary side of the machine.
33 Capacitor "B" under voltage (Right
side facing machine)
34 Capacitor "A" over voltage
side facing machine)
(Left
Excess voltage on the main capacitors. May be caused by improper input con-
figuration, , excessive line voltage, or improper capacitor balance (see Error
43)
35 Capacitor "B" over voltage (Right
side facing machine)
36 Thermal error
Indicates over temperature. Usually accompanied by Thermal LED. Check fan
operation. Be sure process does not exceed duty cycle limit of the machine.
37 Soft start error
Capacitor pre-charge failed. Usually accompanied by codes 32-35.
41 Secondary (Output) overcurrent error
The long term average secondary (weld) current limit has been exceeded.
This error will cause the machine output to phase back to 100 amps, typi-
cally resulting in a condition referred to as “noodle welding”.
NOTE: The long term average secondary current limit is 1050 amps.
43 Capacitor delta error
The maximum voltage difference between the main capacitors has been
exceeded. May be accompanied by errors 32-35. May be caused by an open
or short in the primary or secondary circuit(s).
46 Secondary (Output) overcurrent error
Absolute maximum output level has been exceeded. Usually associated with
excessive short circuit currents and/or specific weld mode issues. This is a
short term average designed to protect the inverter switching circuitry.
49 Single phase error
54 Secondary (Output) overcurrent error
Other
Indicates machine is running on single phase input power. Usually caused by
the loss of the middle leg of the input power (L2).
The long term average secondary (weld) current limit has been exceeded.
This error will immediately turn off the machine output.
Error codes that contain three or four digits are defined as fatal errors. These
codes generally indicate internal errors on the Power Source Control Board. If
cycling the input power on the machine does not clear the error, contact the
Service Department.
