ARCLINK CONTROL CABLES
(See Figure A.3)
ArcLink Control Cables are available in two forms:
K1543-xx series for most indoor or factory installations.
•
• K2683-xx series for outdoor use or when the equipment is
requently moved.
f
ArcLink/LincNet control cables are special high quality cables for
digital communication. The cables are copper 5 conductor cable
in a SO-type rubber jacket. There is one 20 gauge twisted pair
for network communications. This pair has an impedance of
approximately 120 ohms and a propagation delay per foot of less
than 2.1 nanoseconds. There are two 12 gauge conductors that
are used to supply 40VDC to the network. The fifth wire is 18
gauge and is used as an electrode sense lead.
Use of non-standard cables may lead to system shutdowns, poor
arc starting and wire feeding problems.
The control cables connect the power source to the wire feeder,
and the wire feeder to other wire feeders.
Control cables may be connected end to end to extend their
length. Use a maximum of 200 ft. (61.0m) of control cable
between components.

WELD CABLE SIZE
able A.1 located below are copper cable sizes recommended for different
T
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.
COAXIAL WELD CABLE
(See Table A.2)
Coaxial welding cables are specially designed welding cables for pulse welding
or STT®welding. Coaxial weld cables feature low inductance, allowing fast
changes in the weld current. Regular cables have a higher inductance which may
distort the pulse or STT®wave shape. Inductance becomes more severe as the
weld cables become longer.
Coaxial cables work best for high performance waveforms and when:
• long cables are present.
• the cables are housed in a metal tray.
A coaxial weld cable is constructed with multiple small leads wrapped around
one large lead. The large inner lead connects to the electrode stud on the power
source and the electrode connection on the wire feeder. The small leads combine
together to form the work lead, one end attached to the power source and the
other end to the work piece. See Figure A.5
INSTALLATION
o install:
T
1. Turn the input power off at the welding power source.
2. Connect one end of the center lead to the power source electrode
connection, and the other end to the wire feeder electrode
onnection.
c
3. Connect the outer lead bundle to the power source work connection,
and the other end to the work piece. Minimize the length of any
work lead extension for best results.
** Tabled values are for operation at ambient temperatures of 104°F(40°C) and below. Applications above 104°F(40°C) may require cables larger than recommended, or

OPERATION
POWER WAVE SYSTEM OPERATION
WARNING
The serviceability of a product or structure utilizing the welding
rograms is and must be the sole responsibility of the
p
builder/user. Many variables beyond the control of The Lincoln
lectric Company affect the results obtained in applying these
E
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------The steps for operating the Power Wave will vary depending
upon the user interface of the welding system. The flexibility of
the Power Wave lets the user customize operation for the best
performance.
First, consider the desired welding process and the part to be
welded. Choose an electrode material, diameter, shielding gas
and process (GMAW, GMAW-P, GMAW-STT®, etc.)
IGURE B.2
F
Second, find the program in the welding software that best
matches the desired welding process. The standard software
shipped with the Power Waves encompasses a wide range of
common processes and will meet most needs. If a special
welding program is desired, contact the local Lincoln Electric
sales representative.
All adjustments are made on 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.
SMAW (STICK) WELDING
SMAW is most often used for outdoor construction, pipe welding
and general repairs. The wire feeder controls Amperage, Output
Control and Arc Force during SMAW welding.
During SMAW welding, the user interface sets the weld
parameters and the wire drive remains idle.
The “Volts”-”Trim” control is used to turn the power Source
Output ON or OFF. (See Figure B.3)

Arc Force adjusts the short
circuit current f or a soft arc, or
for a forceful, driving arc. It
helps to prevent sticking and
shorting of organic coated
electrodes, particularity globular
transfer types such as
stain le ss an d low hydrogen.
A rc Force is especially
effective for root pass on pipe
with stainless electrode and
helps to minimize spatter for
certain electrodes and
procedure as with low
hydrogen, etc.

OPERATION
NOTE: When a remote control pot such as a K936-1 or -2 Hand
Amptrol is connected, and P.17 is setup for Stick/Gouge
Remote, the pot value will be shown on the left display, but can
only be adjusted to the max workpoint. The max workpoint is
set by adjusting the left knob. When the left knob is adjusted,
the left display will show the max workpoint setting, and will
switch back to show the pot setting when the knob is done
being adjusted.
