The Above For Gasoline Engines
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.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.
1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the
radiator pressure cap when the engine is
hot.
ELECTRIC AND
MAGNETIC FIELDS
may be dangerous
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.

SAFETY
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
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.

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.
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
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
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors
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.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ
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:
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.
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.
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau 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 s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de
soudage.
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.
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 rayonnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ou
quand on regarde l’arc.
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.
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, pantalons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les
zones où l’on pique le laitier.
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.
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 levage, 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.
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
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.

REDRESSEUR
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.
2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seront
effectués par un électricien qualifié.
3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debrancher à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur
place.
SAFETY
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Conformance
Products displaying the CE mark are in conformity with European Community Council Directive of 15 Dec
2004 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility,
2004/108/EC. It was manufactured in conformity with a national standard that implements a harmonized
standard: EN 60974-10 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Product Standard for Arc Welding Equipment.
It is for use with other Lincoln Electric equipment. It is designed for industrial and professional use.
Introduction
All electrical equipment generates small amounts of electromagnetic emission. Electrical emission may be
transmitted through power lines or radiated through space, similar to a radio transmitter. When emissions
are received by other equipment, electrical interference may result. Electrical emissions may affect many
kinds of electrical equipment; other nearby welding equipment, radio and TV reception, numerical controlled
machines, telephone systems, computers, etc.
WARNING: This equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where the electrical power is provided by the public low-voltage supply system. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in those locations, due to conducted as well as radiated disturbances.
Installation and Use
The user is responsible for installing and using the welding equipment according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. If electromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be the responsibility of the user of the
welding equipment to resolve the situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases
this remedial action may be as simple as earthing (grounding) the welding circuit, see Note. In other cases it
could involve construction of an electromagnetic screen enclosing the power source and the work complete
with associated input filters. In all cases electromagnetic disturbances must be reduced to the point where
they are no longer troublesome.
vv
Note: The welding circuit may or may not be earthed for safety reasons. Follow your local and
national standards for installation and use. Changing the earthing arrangements should only
be authorized by a person who is competent to assess whether the changes will increase the
risk of injury, e.g., by allowing parallel welding current return paths which may damage the
earth circuits of other equipment.
Assessment of Area
Before installing welding equipment the user shall make an assessment of potential electromagnetic problems in the surrounding area. The following shall be taken into account:
a) other supply cables, control cables, signaling and telephone cables; above, below and adjacent to the
welding equipment;
b) radio and television transmitters and receivers;
c) computer and other control equipment;
d) safety critical equipment, e.g., guarding of industrial equipment;
e) the health of the people around, e.g., the use of pacemakers and hearing aids;
f) equipment used for calibration or measurement;
g) the immunity of other equipment in the environment. The user shall ensure that other equipment being
used in the environment is compatible. This may require additional protection measures;
h) the time of day that welding or other activities are to be carried out.
SAFETY
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The size of the surrounding area to be considered will depend on the structure of the building and other
activities that are taking place. The surrounding area may extend beyond the boundaries of the premises.
Methods of Reducing Emissions
Public Supply System
Welding equipment should be connected to the public supply system according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. If interference occurs, it may be necessary to take additional precautions such as filtering of
the public supply system. Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently
installed welding equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding should be electrically continuous
throughout its length. The shielding should be connected to the welding power source so that good electrical
contact is maintained between the conduit and the welding power source enclosure.
Maintenance of the Welding Equipment
The welding equipment should be routinely maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
All access and service doors and covers should be closed and properly fastened when the welding equipment is in operation. The welding equipment should not be modified in any way except for those changes
and adjustments covered in the manufacturers instructions. In particular, the spark gaps of arc striking and
stabilizing devices should be adjusted and maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
vivi
Welding Cables
The welding cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned close together, running at
or close to floor level.
Equipotential Bonding
Bonding of all metallic components in the welding installation and adjacent to it should be considered.
However, metallic components bonded to the work piece will increase the risk that the operator could
receive a shock by touching these metallic components and the electrode at the same time. The operator
should be insulated from all such bonded metallic components.
Earthing of the Workpiece
Where the workpiece is not bonded to earth for electrical safety, nor connected to earth because of its size
and position, e.g., ship’s hull or building steelwork, a connection bonding the workpiece to earth may reduce
emissions in some, but not all instances. Care should be taken to prevent the earthing of the workpiece
increasing the risk of injury to users, or damage to other electrical equipment. Where necessary, the connection of the workpiece to earth should be made by a direct connection to the workpiece, but in some countries
where direct connection is not permitted, the bonding should be achieved by suitable capacitance, selected
according to national regulations.
Screening and Shielding
Selective screening and shielding of other cables and equipment in the surrounding area may alleviate problems of interference. Screening of the entire welding installation may be considered for special applica-

INPUT AND GROUND CONNECTIONS
MACHINE GROUNDING
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
purpose. See your local and national electrical codes
for proper grounding methods.
INPUT CONNECTION
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Only a qualified electrician should
connect the input leads to the
Power Wave
should be made in accordance
with all local and National
Electrical Codes and the
connection diagram located on
the inside of the reconnect / input
access door of the machine.
Failure to do so may result in
bodily injury or death.
Use a three-phase supply line. A 1.75 inch (45 mm)
diameter access hole for the input supply is located on
the case back. Connect L1, L2, L3 and ground
according to the Input Supply Connection Diagram.

NPUT FUSE AND SUPPLY WIRE
CONSIDERATIONS
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
electrical 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.
INPUT VOLTAGE SELECTION
Welders are shipped connected for the highest input voltage
listed on the rating plate. To move this connection to a
different input voltage, see the diagram located on the inside
of the input access door, or the diagram shown below
(Figure A.2). If the Auxiliary lead (indicated as ʻAʼ) is placed
in the wrong position, there are two possible results.
a. If the lead is placed in a position higher than the applied
line voltage, the welder may not come on at all.
b. If the Auxiliary lead is placed in a position lower than the
applied line voltage, the welder may not come on, and
fuse in the reconnect area may open. If this occurs, turn
off the input voltage, properly conne
lead, replace the fuse, and try again.

The Power Wave
designed to be a part of a modular welding system
typically controlled by a MAXsa™ 10 Controller or a
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
parallel machines are required, one is designated as
the Master and the rest as Slaves. The synchronizing
connectors for paralleled machines are on the back of
the power source. The Master controls the AC
switching for the arc group, and the Slaves respond
accordingly. See Figure A.3.
AC/DC 1000®SD power source is
FIGURE A.3 - SYNCHRONIZING CONNECTORS
When employed in a multi-arc AC system the arcs
must be synchronized to each other. The Master for
each arc can be configured to follow a dedicated
external synchronization signal to determine its
frequency and balance. The Synchronizing
Connectors on the back of the Power Wave
®
SD provide the means to synchronize the AC
1000
wave shapes of up to six different arcs to a common
carrier frequency. (See Figure A.3). This frequency
can range from 20 hertz 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 arcʼs "sync" signal relative to the "sync"
signal of ARC 1. DIP Switches on the in each machine
must be set to identify it as a Master Lead, Master
Trail or Slave. See Figure A.4
In a typical multi-arc system, each arc is controlled by
its own MAXsa™ 10 Controller. The basic
characteristics of the individual arcs such as WFS,
amplitude, and offset are set locally by each arcʼs
dedicated controller. The frequency, balance, and
phase shift parameters of each arc are controlled by
the MAXsa™ 10 Controller for ARC 1 (Master Lead).
NOTE: The K2803-1 Power Wave
®
AC/DC 1000®SD
is backwards compatible with the K2344-2
®
Power Wave
AC/DC 1000 in tandem or multiarc systems. The K2803-1 and K2344-2
machines cannot be connected in parallel.
Paralleled machines must be of the same
type. A K1805-1 (14 to 22 pin adapter cable) is
required to interface to the K2282-1 Systems
Interface in these setups
FIGURE A.4 - DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
A PLC interface is an alternate method of control for
larger systems. The PLC is typically connected via
DeviceNet directly to the Master power source of each
arc group in the system. MAXsa™ 19 Controller is
still required to power the Wire Drive. Contact your
Local Lincoln Electric Representative for more information.
The connection diagrams describe the layout of several typical systems including Multi-Arc and Paralleled
machine set-ups. Each system also has a step by
step “Installation Checklist”.
