POWER WAVE 405M – Semi-Automatic Operation
Power Wave 405M can only be used with
ArcLink
compatible Power Feed M
semi-automatic wire feed-
ers. In addition, the Power Feed M semi-automatic
wire feeders may require optional equipment to
access certain weld modes in the Power Wave. Other
models of Lincoln feeders, or any models of non-
Lincoln wire feeders, cannot be used.
All welding programs and procedures are selected
through the Power Feed M semi-automatic user inter-
face
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
Any ArcLink compatible semi-automatic wire feeding
equipment. Specifically, the semi-automatic Power
Feed M family.
LIMITATIONS
• Only
ArcLink compatible Power Feed M
semi-
automatic wire feeders and users interfaces may be
used. Other Lincoln wire feeders or non-Lincoln wire
feeders cannot be used.
• POWER WAVE 405M Output Limitations
The POWER WAVE 405M will support maximum
average output current of 350 Amps @ 60% duty
cycle.
DUTY CYCLE AND TIME PERIOD
The duty cycle is based upon a ten minute period. A
60% duty cycle represents 6 minutes of welding and 4
minutes of idling in a ten minute period.
CASE FRONT CONTROLS
All operator controls and adjustments are located on
the case front of the Power Wave.
(See Figure b.1)
1. POWER SWITCH: Controls input power to the
Power Wave.
2. STATUS LIGHT: A two color light that indicates
system errors. Normal operation is a steady green
light. Error conditions are indicated,
per
Troubleshooting E Section in this Manual.
NOTE:
The POWER WAVE 405M status light will
flash green, and sometimes red and green, for up to
one minute when the machine is first turned on. This
is a normal situation as the machine goes through a
self test at power up.
