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.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.
2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as

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 V
• 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.
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.

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
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 below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)
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 OSHAPEL
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.

WELDING 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.
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
been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended
Safe Practices for the
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.
Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil
6.f.
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.

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
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.
Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand on
b.
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.
A
L’Arc
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.
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.
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
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À
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.

WELD CABLE SIZING
Minimum work and electrode cables sizes are as follows:
T ABLE A.1
(Current (60% Duty Cycle)
400 Amps 2/0 (67 mm2)
500 Amps 3/0 (85 mm2)
600 Amps 3/0 (85 mm2)
NOTE: K1796 coaxial welding cable is recommended
to reduce the cable inductance in long distance Pulse
or STT applications up to 300 amps.
MINIMUM COPPER
WORK CABLE SIZE AWG
Up To-100 Ft. Length (30 m)
WELD CABLE CONNECTION
Connect a work lead of sufficient size and length (Per
Table A.1) between the proper output terminal on the
power source and the work. Be sure the connection to
the work makes tight metal-to-metal electrical contact.
To avoid interference problems with other equipment
and to achieve the best possible operation, route all
cables directly to the work or wire feeder. Avoid excessive lengths and do not coil excess cable.
When using an inverter type power source like the
Power Waves, use the largest welding (electrode
and work) cables that are practical. At least 2/0
copper wire - even if the average output current
would not normally require it. When pulsing, the
pulse current can reach very high levels. Voltage
drops can become excessive, leading to poor
welding characteristics, if undersized welding
cables are used.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WELD CABLE SIZES
Table A.2 has the 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 voltage in the welding circuit.
ELECTRODE LEAD
Most welding applications run with the electrode being
positive (+). For those applications, connect the electrode cable between the wire feeder and the positive
(+) output stud on the power source. Connect the lug
at the other end of the electrode cable to the wire drive
feed plate. Be sure the connection to the feed plate
makes tight metal-to-metal electrical contact. The electrode cable should be sized according to the specifications given in the work cable connections Table A.1.
Connect a work lead from the negative (-) power
source output stud to the work piece. The work piece
connection must be firm and secure, especially if pulse
welding is planned.

CAUTION
Excessive voltage drops caused by poor work

welding performance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
COAXIAL WELD CABLES
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 weld cables are recommended for all pulse
and STT welding, especially when the total weld cable
length (electrode cable + work cable) exceeds 50 feet
(7.6m)
A coaxial weld cable is constructed by 8 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 Coaxial weld Cable below.)
CHANGING ELECTRODE POLARITY
SETTING
The Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder is preset at
the factory for Electrode Positive welding. (See Figure
A.3)
NOTE: Changing this DIP Switch does not change the
actual welding polarity. The actual welding polarity is
changed by reversing the welding cables at the power
source output studs.
This DIP Switch setting must coincide with the polarity
you are setting up to weld with for the feeder to operate correctly. Operating the Power Feed 10M Single
Wire Feeder with the DIP switch in the wrong position
will cause very erratic weld characteristics.
NEGATIVE ELECTRODE POLARITY
This options allows for the setting of negative polarity
sensing when a negative polarity welding process is
performed.
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).
When operating with electrode polarity negative the
Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder must be set to
recognize this set-up.
(See Figure A.3)
To change the electrode polarity DIP Switch setting:

CONTROL CABLE SPECIFICATIONS
It is recommended that only genuine Lincoln control
cables be used at all times. Lincoln cables are specifically designed for the communication and power
needs of the Power Wave Source / Power Feed system. The use of non-standard cables, especially in
lengths greater than 25ft(7.6m), can lead to communication problems (system shutdowns), poor motor
acceleration (poor arc starting) and low wire driving
force (wire feeding problems).
Lincoln control 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 the 40 VDC to the network. The fifth wire is 18
gauge and is used as an electrode sense lead.

NOTES
DRIVE ROLL PRESSURE SETTING
The Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder is factory set
with the pressure indicator approximately "2". The best
drive roll pressure varies with wire type, wire surface,
lubrication and hardness. Too much pressure could
cause "birdnesting", but too little pressure could cause
slippage.
Set the drive roll pressure by:
1. Press the end of the gun against a solid object that
is electrically isolated from the welder output and
press the gun trigger for several seconds.
2. If the wire "birdnests" or jams, the drive roll pressure
is too high. Reduce the pressure by one turn of the
knob, run new wire through the gun, and repeat step
1.
If the only result is slippage, disconnect the gun and
3.
pull the gun cable forward about 6" (150mm). There
should be a slight waviness in the exposed wire. If
there is no waviness, increase the pressure setting
one turn, reconnect the gun and repeat the above
steps.
CHANGING THE GUN RECEIVER BUSHING
Gun receiver bushings make it easy to switch from one
gun to another.
Tools required:
1/4" Allen wrench
To change the gun bushing:
1. Turn off power at the welding power source.
2. Remove the welding wire from the wire drive.
3. Remove the thumb screw from the wire drive.
4. Remove the welding gun from the wire drive.
5. Loosen the socket head cap screw that holds the connector bar against the gun bushing. Important: Do not
attempt to completely remove the socket head cap
screw.
6. Remove the outer wire guide, and push the gun bush-
ing out of the wire drive. Because of the precision fit,
light tapping may be required to remove the gun bushing.
7. Disconnect the shielding gas hose from the gun bush-
ing, if required.
8. Connect the shielding gas hose to the new gun bush-
ing, if required.
9. Rotate the gun bushing until the thumb screw hole
aligns with the thumb screw hole in the feed plate.
Slide the gun receiver bushing into the wire drive and
verify the thumb screw holes are aligned.
Note: Some gun bushings do not require the use of the
thumb screw.
10. Tighten the socket head cap screw
.
11. Insert the welding gun into the gun bushing and tight-
en the thumb screw.

INSTALLATION
WIRE FEED SHUT DOWN CIRCUIT
The wire feed shut down circuit is used to stop the wire
feed in the event of a fault. The most common use of
the circuit is with water cooled guns. A flow sensor is
connected to the circuit to protect the welding gun if the
water flow is interrupted.
The Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder has two
leads, 570A and 570B, located inside the wire drive
that are electrically common. If flow switch is used,
separate these leads and connect to normally closed
flow switch terminals when water is flowing. Connect
the flow sensor to these two leads.
CHANGING THE GEAR RATIO
The Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder wire drive
may be configured for either low speed or high speed,
depending upon the application. The wire feeders are
factory assembled for low speed operation and include
a gear for high speed operation.

WELD WIRE ROUTING
The electrode supply may be either from reels, ReadiReels, spools, or bulk packaged drums or reels.
Observe the following precautions:
a) The electrode must be routed to the wire drive unit
so that the bends in the wire are at a minimum,
and also that the force required to pull the wire
from the reel into the wire drive unit is kept at a
minimum.
b) The electrode is “hot” when the gun trigger is
pressed and must be insulated from the boom and
structure.
c) If more than one wire feed unit shares the same
boom and are not sharing the some power source
output stud, their wire and reels must be insulated
from each other as well as insulated from their
mounting structure.
8. Slide the cage all way onto the adapter until the
retaining spring "pops up" fully.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
General Physical Description
The Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder is a modular
wire feeder, consisting of two components - a wire
drive and a control box - are available assembled as
a bench unit or as a boom system. High speed, highly reliable digital cables connect the components
together and to the Power Wave power source.
The Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder system has
the ability to connect multiple wire feeders to one
power source, use the same power source to weld in
ferent locations (not simultaneously), or load a
two dif
different electrode on each feeder to eliminate change
over time.
The powerful four roll wire drive system sets the industry standard for ease of use. Its patented design allows
for tool-less change out of wire guides and drive rolls
greatly reducing set up time.
General Functional Description
• The Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder is a highly versatile wire feeder with easy to use features that
make it easy for the operator to adjust the arc for
specific preferences.
• The new MSP4 panel clearly displays key welding
information. Use the MSP4 panel to quickly adjust
weld settings, arc starting parameters, arc end parameters and set-up variables.

LAYOUT-CONTROLS
(SEE FIGURE B.3)
The MSP4 panel controls (Items 7 and 9) set consist of
an encoder knob Item 8 and two push buttons. The
encoder is primarily used to change the value of the
selected attribute.
The left pushbutton (Item 7)
is used to toggle between
Weld Mode selection and any active Arc Controls
(a.k.a. wave controls). The choices of wave controls
varies by weld mode. For example, weld mode 31 has
one wave control, “Pinch”. Weld mode 110 has three
wave controls, “Peak Current”, “Background Current”
and “Tailout”. If the selected weld mode has no wave
controls, pressing the left pushbutton will have no
affect. If the selected weld mode uses one or more
wave controls, pressing the left pushbutton will
sequence the selection from weld mode -> wave control 1 (if active) -> wave control 2 (if active) -> wave
control 3 (if active) -> wave control 4 (if active) then
back to weld mode.
The right pushbutton (Item 9)
is used to select attributes that affect the available weld parameters such as
preflow time, burnback time, etc. Since most users will
require infrequent access to these attributes, they are
separate from weld mode selection and wave control
adjustment.

Through the use of alphanumeric displays, the MSP4
provides standard text messages designed to enhance
the user’s understanding of the machine’s operation as
well as provide advanced capabilities
The panel pro-
vides:
• Clear identification of the selected weld mode.
• Identification of weld modes not listed on the
preprinted weld mode list label.
• Control of up to four wave controls (arc controls.)
• Weld mode specific wave control name display
(Peak, Background, Pinch, etc.).
• Unit values are displayed (Amps, in/min, etc.).
• User-friendly machine setup and configuration.
POWER FEED 10M SINGLE/DUAL
The MSP4 display consists of a large 4-digit, 7-segment LED display, two 8-character alphanumeric LED
displays and one 16-character alphanumeric LED dis-
. The information shown on the various displays
play
depends on the state of the user interface as described
below.
When the MSP4 is being used to select a weld mode,
the 4-digit display (Item 2) indicates the selected weld
mode number. The upper 8-character alphanumeric
display (Item 3) indicates the electrode type (steel, aluminum, etc.) The lower 8-character alphanumeric display (Item 4) indicates the electrode size (.035", 1/16",
etc.).
B-9 B-9
The 16-character alphanumeric display (Item 5) indicates the process type and other information, the exact
content of which depends on the selected weld mode.
This additional information may include specific electrode type (e.g. 4043) and/or a description of the recommended gas (e.g. HeArCO2).
When the MSP4 is being used to change the value of
an attribute, the 7-segment displays show the selected
attribute’s value. The upper 8-character alphanumeric
display is typically not used while changing an
attribute’s value. The lower 8-character alphanumeric
display is used to indicate the units of the selected
attribute (e.g. seconds, in/min, etc.). The 16-character
alphanumeric display is used to display the name of
the selected attribute.
The content of the displays while the user interface is
being used for advance machine configuration (e.g.
limit setting, pass code entering, machine setup, etc.)
is described in later sections.
POWER-UP SEQUENCE
When power is first applied to the machine, a lamp test
is performed. All discrete LED’
segment displays will show a pattern of "8." and all
alphanumeric displays will show a hatch pattern where
every-other pixel is illuminated. The lamp test will last
for two seconds, after which all displays are turned
back off. The 16-character alphanumeric display will
show "Initializing…" while waiting for the Weld
Sequencer to announce bus available. The MSP4
alphanumeric displays will then display the name of the
weld table loaded in the power source while the user
interface prepares the machine for operation. After all
initialization is complete, the MSP4 will display the
weld mode information for the mode number that was
selected when the machine was last powered down.
CHANGING WELD MODES
To select a weld mode, press the left MSP4 pushbutton until the WELD MODE LED is illuminated. Turn the
MSP4 encoder until the desired weld mode number is
displayed. As the MSP4 encoder knob is rotated, only
the weld mode number is displayed.

After 1 second of
OPERATION
CHANGING ARC WAVE CONTROL
If the selected weld mode uses any of the four available
wave controls, users can press the left MSP4 pushbutton
until the ARC CONTROL
name and units (if applicable) of the available wave controls will appear. Note that the name of the control is
derived from the weld table and may not necessarily
appear as "Wave Control". Repeated pressing of the left
MSP4 pushbutton will cycle through all active wave controls and then the weld mode. Turning the MSP4 encoder
will change the value of the displayed wave control.
CHANGING WELD SEQUENCE BEHAVIOR
Weld sequencing attributes are grouped into two categories, STAR
OPTIONS may include Preflow Time, Run-in Wire Feed
Speed, and Start Time. END OPTIONS may include Spot
Timer, Crater Time, Burnback Time and Postflow Time.
The attributes that appear in the START and END
OPTIONS are weld mode dependent. For example, if a
TIG weld mode is selected, Run-in WFS will not appear
since it is not relevant to the selected process. Repeated
pressing of the right MSP4 pushbutton will cycle through
all relevant START and END OPTIONS. Turning the
MSP4 encoder will change the value of the selected
option.
When the Start Time attribute is set to a value other than
OFF, the START OPTIONS LED will blink synchronous
with the WFS and VOL TS/TRIM LED’son the dual-display
panel. This blinking is used to indicate that start wire feed
speed and voltage/trim can now be set to values different
from those used while welding. Similarly, if the Crater
Time attribute is set to a value other than OFF, the END
OPTIONS LED will blink synchronously with the dual-display LED’s, indicating that crater wire feed speed and
voltage/trim now can be set to values different from those
used while welding.

2. "Quick Trigger" (the optional value 1), the machine will
only change the selected procedure when the trigger is

and pro-
the machine will always operate in 2-step if a weld is
made exclusively in procedure A, regardless of the 2/4
step switch position (this is intended to simplify tack welding when using a daul-schedule gun, such as the
Magnum 400 DS, while 4-step trigger is selected).
In order for any of these procedure change methods to
function, the “A-Gun-B” switch must be on the “Gun” position.
P.6 Push Pull Gun, Stall Factor Adjustment
The stall factor controls the stall torque of the push motor
when using a push-pull gun. The wire feeder is factory set
to not stall unless there is a large resistance to feeding
wire. The stall factor can be reduced to stall more easily
and possibly prevent bird nesting. However, low stall factors can cause motor stalling while welding which results
in the wire burning back to the tip.
If you are experiencing bird nests, check for other feeding
problems before adjusting the stall factor.
Default value for the stall factor is 75, with a range of 5 -
100.
To change the stall factor:
• Use the VOLTS/TRIM knob to adjust the stall factor.
Increasing the stall factor raises the motor torque and
decreasing the stall factor lowers the motor torque. Do
not increase the stall factor more than necessary. A high
stall factor may increase the occurrence of bird nesting
and a low stall factor may cause the wire to burn back to
the tip.
P.7 Push Pull Gun, Gun Offset Adjustment
The push-pull gun offset calibration adjusts the wire feed
speed calibration of the pull motor. The procedure should
only be performed when other possible corrections do not
solve the push-pull feeding problems. A rpm meter is
required to perform the pull gun motor offset calibration.
To perform the calibration procedure:
• Release the pressure arm on both the pull and push wire
drives.
• Set the wire feed speed to 200 ipm.
• Remove wire from the pull wire drive.
• Hold the rpm meter to the drive roll in the pull gun.
• Pull the trigger on the push-pull gun.
• Measure the rpm of the pull motor. The rpm should be
between 115 and 125 rpm. If necessary, decrease the
calibration setting to slow the pull motor, or increase the
calibration setting to speed up the motor. The calibration
range is -30 to +30, with 0 as the default value.

• The postflow time value is maintained when
switching between MIG and TIG modes.
• When machine output on/off is controlled via the
right encoder, gas flow will not start until the tungsten touches, the work piece, gas flow will stop
after the postflow time when the arc is broken.
• When machine output on/off is controlled via an
arc start switch or foot Amptrol, gas will begin flowing when the output is turned on and stop flowing
after the postflow period after the output is turned
off.
P.9 Crater Delay
This parameter enables a timer delay for each feed
head to bypass the Crater option when short tack
welds are desired. If the trigger is released before
the timer expires, Crater will be bypassed and the
weld will end. If the trigger is released after the timer
expires, Crater will function as normal (if Crater
function is turned on).

In order to control the welding arc, the power source
continually monitors arc current and arc voltage.
Arc current is measured internal to the power
source.
• Voltage internal to the power source ("studs")
• V
• Voltage at a user-wired sense lead ("21" lead)
Remote voltage sensing (anything other than
"studs") is used to obtain a more accurate voltage
measurement since the sense lead is closer to the
arc. Remote voltage sensing can involve external
wiring and DIP switch configuration, there is a
potential for incorrect voltage measurement which
can lead to poor arc control or wire burn back.

2 STEP TRIGGER OPERATION
(See Figure B.4)
Sometimes it is advantageous to set specific arc start,
crater and arc ending parameters for the ideal weld.
Many times when welding aluminum crater control is
necessary to make a good weld. This is done by setting Start, Crater and Burnback functions to desired
values.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Following is the total weld sequence that the Power
Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder will execute. If any parameter is inactive or its time is set to zero, the weld procedure immediately shifts to the next parameter in the
sequence.
1. PREFLOW: Shielding gas begins to flow immediately when the gun trigger is pulled.
2. STRIKE: After preflow time expires, the power
source regulates to the start output and wire is
advanced towards the work piece at the Strike WFS.
If an arc is not established within 1.5 seconds, the
power source output and wire feed speed skips to
the weld settings.
3. UPSLOPE: Once the wire touches the work and an
arc is established, both the machine output and the
wire feed speed ramp to the weld settings throughout the start time. The time period of ramping from
the start settings to the weld settings is called UPSLOPE.
4. WELD: After upslope, the power source output and
the wire feed speed continue at the weld settings.
5. CRATER: As soon as the trigger is released, the
wire feed speed and power source output ramp to
the crater settings throughout the crater time. The
time period of ramping from the weld settings to the
crater settings is called DOWNSLOPE.
6. BURNBACK: After the crater time expires, the wire
feed speed is turned OFF and the machine output
continues for the burnback time.
7. POSTFLOW: Next, the machine output is turned
OFF and shielding gas continues until the post flow
timer expires.

4 STEP TRIGGER OPERATION
(See Figure B.5)
The 4 step trigger sequence gives the most flexibility
when the Start, Crater and Burnback functions are
active. This is a popular choice when welding aluminum because extra heat may be needed during Start
and less heat desired during Crater. With 4 step trigger, the welder chooses the amount of time to weld at
the Start, Weld and Crater settings by using the gun
trigger. Burnback reduces the likelihood of wire to
sticking in the weld pool at the end of a weld and also
prepares the end of the wire for the next arc start.

OPERATION
STEEL AND STAINLESS SYNERGIC GMAW-P (PULSED MIG) WELDING
Synergic GMAW-P (Pulsed MIG) welding is ideal for low spatter, out of position and reduced heat input applications. During pulse welding, the welding current continuously switches from a low level to a high level and then
back again. Each pulse sends a small droplet of molten metal from the wire to the weld puddle.
Pulse welding controls the arc length with 'Trim' instead of voltage. When trim (arc length) is adjusted, the Power
Wave automatically recalculates the voltage, current and time of each part of the pulse waveform for the best result.
Trim adjusts the arc length and ranges from 0.50 to 1.50, with a nominal value of 1.00 for a 3/4" (19mm) electrode
stick-out. Trim values greater than 1.00 increase the arc length, while values less than 1.00 decrease the arc
length.
FIGURE B.7a
ARC CONTROL
For steel and stainless pulse modes, Arc Control regulates the focus or shape of the arc. Arc Control values greater
than 0.0 increase the pulse frequency while decreasing the background current, resulting in a tight, stiff arc best
for high speed sheet metal welding. Arc Control values less than 0.0 decrease the pulse frequency while increasing the background current, for a soft arc good for out-of-position welding.

LIMIT SETTING
Each user memory can be optionally configured to limit
the user’s range of control over some user interface settings. By default, user limits are not enabled. To set limits for a selected memory, first select a weld mode and
perform a memory save. Next, press and hold the memory button for five seconds. Release the memory button
when the memory LED begins to blink rapidly and the
Mode Select Panel displays indicate "Set Limits".
If the pass code has been set to a value other than zero,
the user will be prompted to enter it. If the pass code is
zero, the Mode Select Panel will immediately display the
Limit Setup menu and the SETUP LED will illuminate:
One of these four items will blink to indicate which item
will change when the Mode Select Panel Knob is rotated.
Initially, the selected item will be the attribute. To select
the high limit, press either Mode Select Panel button and
the high limit value will begin to blink. Pressing either
Mode Select Panel button again will cause the memory
value to blink, pressing a third time will cause the low limit
to blink.
Weld modes cannot be selected from the Limits Setup
menu; the mode must be selected and saved to memory
prior to entering the Limits Setup menu.
The memory value, high and low limit values are bound by
the limits of the machine. For example, weld mode 49
may allow the wire feed speed to be adjusted between 10
and 200 in/min. These are referred to as "machine limits".
Machine limits can vary between power sources and are
also weld mode dependent.
The memory value must always be less than or equal to
the high limit and greater than or equal to the low limit.
The high limit must always be greater than or equal to the
low limit and the low limit must always be less than or
equal to the high limit. The rules are enforced automatically. If the low limit is increased above the memory
value, the memory value will automatically increase.

There are four items displayed on each Limit Setup
screen. The long alphanumeric display shows the selected attribute (e.g. Weld WFS,Volts, etc.). The short
alphanumeric displays show the selected attribute’s high
and low user limits. The 7-segment displays show the
value that is copied to procedure memory when a memory recall is performed.

After setting limits, press the memory button that is flashing. The Mode Select Panel displays will prompt the user
to save or discard the limit changes just made.
By pressing the Mode Select Panel button labeled YES,
changes to limits are saved and user limits are automatically enabled. By pressing NO, any changes made to limits are discarded and the limit enable/disable state is not
changed.
To enable or disable limits that have been established for
any memory, press and hold the respective memory button in for more than 10 seconds until the Mode Select
Panel displays "Enable Limits?" Pressing "Yes" will use
the established limits, while pressing "No" will ignore the
established limits. The limits that have been set for any
memory location will not be erased if they are disabled.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch electrically live parts such
as output terminals or internal wiring.
•
When inching with gun trigger, electrode and
drive mechanism are “hot” to work and
ground and could remain energized several
seconds after the gun trigger is released.
• Turn OFF input power at welding power
source before installation or changing
drive roll and/or guide tubes.
• Welding power source must be connected to system ground per the National
Electrical Code or any applicable local
codes.
• Only qualified personnel should
perform maintenance work.
Observe all additional Safety Guidelines detailed
throughout this manual.
CALIBRATION SPECIFICATION
All calibration is factory set on the Power Feed 10M
Single Wire Feeder.
To verify the wire feed speed:
• Assemble a .045 (1.2mm) drive roll kit into the Power
Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder.
• Load a spool of .045 (1.2mm) electrode and thread
the electrode through the wire drive.
• Adjust the wire feed speed to 300 in/min
(7.62m/min).
• Press the COLD FEED switch and measure the
actual wire feed speed with a calibrated wire feed
speed tachometer.
• The measured wire feed speed should be within
±2% of the set value.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
• Check weld cables, control cables and gas hoses
for cuts.
• Clean and tighten all weld terminals.
• Inspect and clean drive rolls and inner wire guide
and replace if worn.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
• Blow out or vacuum the inside of the feeder.
• Every six months check the motor brushes.
Replace them if they are less than 1/4" long.
• Every year inspect the gearbox and coat the gear
teeth with a moly-disulfide filled grease. DO NOT
use graphite grease.

a) The electrode must be routed to the wire drive unit
so that the bends in the wire are at a minimum,
and also that the force required to pull the wire
from the reel into the wire drive unit is kept at a
minimum.
Typical Bench Feeder Connection:
Control cable is connected from the Power Wave 455
output receptacle to the input receptacle on the back of
the Wire Drive.
CONTROL CABLE SPECIFICATIONS
It is recommended that only genuine Lincoln control
cables be used at all times. Lincoln cables are specifically designed for the communication and power
needs of the Power Wave 455 / Power Feed system.
The use of non-standard cables, especially in lengths
greater than 25 feet(7.6m), can lead to communication
problems (system shutdowns), poor motor acceleration (poor arc starting) and low wire driving force (wire
feeding problems).
Lincoln control 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 the 40 VDC to the network. The fifth wire is 18
gauge and is used as an electrode sense lead.
AVAILABLE CABLE ASSEMBLIES
K1543 Control cable only. Available in lengths of
8'(2.4m), 16'(4.9m), 25'(7.6m), 50'(15.2m) and
100'(30.5m).
b) The electrode is “hot” when the gun trigger is
pressed and must be insulated from the boom and
structure.
c) If more than one wire feed unit shares the same
boom and are not sharing the some power source
output stud, their wire and reels must be insulated
from each other as well as insulated from their
mounting structure.
CONTROL CABLE
CONTROL CABLE CONNECTIONS
• All system control cables are the same.
• All control cables can be connected end to end to
extend their length.
• All system equipment must be connected to a control
cable.
NOTE: The maximum cable length between Power
Source and Wire Feeder is 100'(30.5m).

OUTPUT CABLES, CONNECTIONS
AND LIMITATIONS
Connect a work lead of sufficient size and length (Per
Table AA.1) between the proper output terminal on the
power source and the work. Be sure the connection to
the work makes tight metal-to-metal electrical contact.
To avoid interference problems with other equipment
and to achieve the best possible operation, route all
cables directly to the work or wire feeder. Avoid excessive lengths and do not coil excess cable.
Minimum work and electrode cables sizes are as follows:
T ABLE AA.1
(Current (60% Duty Cycle)
400 Amps 2/0 (67 mm2)
500 Amps 3/0 (85 mm2)
600 Amps 3/0 (85 mm2)
NOTE: K1796 coaxial welding cable is recommended
to reduce the cable inductance in long distance Pulse
applications up to 300 amps.
MINIMUM COPPER
WORK CABLE SIZE AWG
Up To-100 Ft. Length (30 m)
CAUTION
When using an inverter type power source like the
PowerWaves, use the largest welding (electrode
and work) cables that are practical. At least 2/0
copper wire - even if the average output current
would not normally require it. When pulsing, the
pulse current can reach very high levels. Voltage
drops can become excessive, leading to poor
welding characteristics, if undersized welding
cables are used.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Output connections on some Power W
via 1/2-13 threaded output studs located beneath the
spring loaded output cover at the bottom of the case
front.
Most welding applications run with the electrode being
positive (+). For those applications, connect the electrode cable between the wire feeder and the positive
(+) output stud on the power source (located beneath
the spring loaded output cover near the bottom of the
case front). Connect the other end of the electrode
cable to the wire drive feed plate. The electrode cable
lug must be against the feed plate. Be sure the connection to the feed plate makes tight metal-to-metal
electrical contact.
according to the specifications given in the work cable
connections section. Connect a work lead from the
negative (-) power source output stud to the work
piece. The work piece connection must be firm and
secure, especially if pulse welding is planned.
The electrode cable should be sized

For additional Safety information regarding the electrode and work cable set-up, See the standard "SAFETY INFORMATION" located in the front of the
Instruction Manuals.
CAUTION
Excessive voltage drops caused by poor work
piece connections often result in unsatisfactory
welding performance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEGATIVE ELECTRODE POLARITY
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).
ELECTRODE SENSE POLARITY
This options allows for the setting of negative polarity
sensing when a negative polarity welding process is
performed.
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).
When operating with electrode polarity negative the
Wire Feeder must be set to recognize this option.

WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Turn the input power OFF at the disconnect switch before working on
this equipment.
• Do not touch electrically hot parts.
CAUTION
When changing the electrode polarity, the weld
cables must be changed at the power source studs
and the DIP switch inside the Power Feed 10M Dual
must be properly set. Operation with the DIP
switch in the wrong position will cause erratic arc
performance.

POWER FEED 10M SINGLE/DUAL
AA-5 AA-5
INSTALLATION
The Power Feed 10M Dual Wire Feeder is factory set
for Electrode Positive welding.
Most welding procedures use Electrode Positive welding. Some Innershield procedures may use Electrode
Negative welding. For most applications, the Power
Feed 10M Dual Wire Feeder will have both sides of the
Wire Drive set to the same polarity . To weld with opposite polarities, each head would have to be welding on
isolated work pieces and the weld cable attaching the
two feed heads would have to be removed.
To change the DIP switch inside the Power Feed 10M
Dual Wire Feeder for electrode polarity:
1. Turn off power at the welding power source.
2. Remove the rear access panel on the wire drive.
3. Locate DIP switches on BOTH Wire Drive Boards.
4. Set DIP switch #7 on BOTH Wire Drive Boards to
the desired polarity.
VOLTAGE SENSING
The best arc performance occurs when the
PowerWaves have accurate data about the arc conditions. Depending upon the process, inductance within
the electrode and work lead cables can influence the
voltage apparent at the studs of the welder. Voltage
sense leads improve the accuracy of the arc conditions
and can have a dramatic effect on performance.
Sense Lead Kits (K940-xx) are available for this purpose.
CAUTION
If the voltage sensing is enabled but the sense
leads are missing, improperly connected, or if the
electrode polarity switch is improperly configured,
extremely high welding outputs may occur. -
----------------------------------------------------------------------The ELECTRODE sense lead (67) is built into the con-
trol cable, and is automatically enabled for all semiautomatic processes. The WORK sense lead (21) connects to the Power W
located underneath the output stud cover. By default
the WORK voltage is monitored at the output stud in
the Power Wave 455. For more information on the
WORK sense lead (21), see"Work Voltage Sensing”

WIRE DRIVE GEAR RATIO (HIGH OR
LOW SPEED)
The speed range capability and drive torque of the
Power Feed wire drives can be easily and quickly
changed by changing the external drive gear. The
Power Feed Wire Feeders are shipped with both high
speed and a low speed gears. As shipped from the factory, the low speed (high torque) gear is installed on
the feeder. If this is the desired gear ratio, no changes
need be made.
If a change in gear ratio is desired, the systems needs
to be made aware of which gear has been installed on
the Wire Drive, low or high speed. This is accomplished through the selection of a dip switch on the wire
drive PCB.
SELECTING THE PROPER GEAR RATIO
See Technical Specifications at the front of the
Installation Section for feed speed and wire size capabilities with high and low speed gear ratios. To determine whether you should be using the high or low
speed ratio use the following guidelines:
3. The control board is on the left side of
the power source. Locate the 8-position
DIP switch and look for switch 8 of the
switch.
DIP
4. Using a pencil or other small object,
slide the switch right to the OFF position
if the work sense lead is NOT connected. Conversely, slide the switch left to
the ON position if the work sense lead is
present.
5. Replace the cover and screws. The PC board will
“read” the switch at power up, and configure the
work voltage sense lead appropriately.
Electrode Voltage Sensing
Enabling or disabling electrode voltage sensing is
automatically configured through software. The 67
electrode sense lead is internal to the cable to the wire
feeder and always connected when a wire feeder is
present.

CAUTION
• If you need to operate at wire feed speeds above
800 IPM (20 m/m), you will need to install the high
speed gear (large 30 tooth, 1.6 inch diameter gear).
• If you do not need to run at wire feed speeds in
excess of 800 IPM (20 m/m), you should use the low
speed gear (small, 20 tooth, 1.1 inch diameter gear).
Using the low speed ratio will provide the maximum
available wire driving force.
Note: If you are feeding only small diameter wires you
may, at your option, install the high speed ratio.

WIRE SPINDLE PLACEMENT
The reel stand provides two mounting locations for the
2 inch diameter wire reel spindle to accommodate various reel sizes. Each mounting location consists of a
tube in the center of the reel stand, and locating slots
on the outside of the reel stand. The bolt, used with a
plain washer and lock washer, slides through the tube
from the side of the reel stand. The bolt should be
threaded into the wire spindle such that the tabs on the
brake mechanism align with the locating slots, then
tighten.
The upper location must be used for 50-60 lb. ReadiReels, Spools and Coils.
For smaller coils (44lb, 30lb, 10lb, etc.), the spindle can
be placed in either the upper or lower location. The
goal is to make the wire path from the coil to the wire
drive an entry into the incoming guide tube that is as
straight as possible. This will optimize wire feeding performance.

EXAMPLES OF CONNECTING AN
ARCLINK POWER WAVE SYSTEM
If a water cooled gun is to be installed for use with the
Power Feed 10 Dual, a K590-6 Water connection kit
can be installed for each gun requiring water cooling.
Contained in the kit are the water lines and quick connect water line fittings that install in the wire feed head.
Follow the installation instructions included in the kit.
Water cooled guns can be damaged very quickly if they
are used even momentarily without water flowing.
To protect the gun, we recommended that a water flow
sense kit be installed. This will prevent wire feeding if
no water flow is present.
WIRE FEED SHUT DOWN CIRCUIT
(OPTIONAL)
This option is intended as a means of disabling welding in the event that the water flow (for a water cooled
gun) is not present. Water cooled guns can be quickly damaged if they are momentarily used without water
flow. This matter can be avoided when a Lincoln Flow
Sensor Kit (K1536-1) is applied to the wire feeder shutdown circuit.
ArcLink Power Wave products may be configured in
many different ways. The flexible system allows multiple wire feeders to be connected to the same power
source. The diagrams represent some of the common
methods for connecting ArcLink Products.
Important: Bench model wire feeders cannot be separated into a separate control box and wire drive for a
boom system.
Common ArcLink Systems
The following Power Wave systems may all be assembled without any changes to the equipment DIP switches.
Basic Semi-Automatic System
• Great for general fabrication.
The Flow Sensor Kit has two control leads that become
electrically common when the water is flowing. When
integrated with the wire feeder shut down circuit, it
forms a closed (common) circuit and enables welding.
In the event that water is not flowing, the Flow Sensor
circuit (shut down circuit) is electrically opened which
disables any further operation.

OPERATION
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Power Feed 10M Dual Wire Feeder unit consists
of a user interface and two wire drives. This unit will be
available as a bench model or a boom model.
The Power Feed 10M Dual Wire Feeder is a high performance, digitally controlled, modular wire feeder.
Properly equipped, it can support the GMAW, GMAWP, FCAW, SMAW, GTAW, and STT processes. The
Power Feed 10M Dual Wire Feeder is designed to be
a part of a modular, multi process welding system. The
Power Feed 10M Dual Wire Feeder is a SemiAutomatic unit that is designed to interface with the
Power Wave M family of welding machines. It consists
of a user interface (UI) and wire drive (WD) that operate on 40VDC input power. The user interface is
designed to act as a means to access the functionality
(weld mode, run-in, volts, current etc.) of the welding
system. The wire drive unit is a 4 driven roll feeder that
can "push" various types of welding wire.
Each component in the system has special circuitry to
"talk with" the other system components, so each component (power source, wire feeder, electrical accessories) knows what the other is doing at all times. This
shared information lays the groundwork for a system
with superior welding performance.
DUAL HEAD UNIT
Two Control PC boards: one board supports user interface and wire drive functions and second board sup-
ports second wire drive functions.
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES AND
EQUIPMENT
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES
The Power Feed 10M Dual Wire Feeder can be set up
in a number of configurations. They are designed to be
used for GMAW, GMAW-P, FCAW and STT processes
for a variety of materials, including mild steel, stainless
steel, and cored wires. Other processes such as STT,
SMAW and GTAW can be controlled using the user
interface portion of the unit. (See Accessories Section
for Part numbers and connections.
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
The Power Feed 10M Dual Wire Feeder must be used
with communication compatible welding equipment.
That is, the communication protocol that is used in the
welding system must be capable of communicating
with the wire feeder. This would be any power source
that has the Arclink receptacle available and is operating with LincNet or Arclink software.

3. OUTPUT CONTROLS
• The Power Feed 10M Dual Wire Feeder has 2
encoder knobs to adjust weld parameters.
• Each encoder changes the displayed value of the
meter located directly above that encoder.
• In CC-GTAW modes when equipped with a foot or
hand amptrol, the left encoder sets the maximum
welding current. Full depression of a foot or hand
amptrol results in the preset level of current.
• In CC-Stick and CC-GTAW, the right encoder activates and de-activates the output. Turning the
encoder clockwise enables the output. To de-energize the output, turn the encoder counter-clockwise.
The display above will indicate the "ON" or "OFF"
status of the output.

The left pushbutton (Item 7)
Weld Mode selection and any active Arc Controls
(a.k.a. wave controls). The choices of wave controls
varies by weld mode. For example, weld mode 31 has
one wave control, “Pinch”. Weld mode 110 has three
wave controls, “Peak Current”, “Background Current”
and “Tailout”. If the selected weld mode has no wave
controls, pressing the left pushbutton will have no
effect. If the selected weld mode uses one or more
wave controls, pressing the left pushbutton will
sequence the selection from weld mode -> wave control 1 (if active) -> wave control 2 (if active) -> wave
control 3 (if active) -> wave control 4 (if active) then
back to weld mode.

LAYOUT-DIGITAL DISPLA
The MSP4 display consists of a large 4-digit, 7-segment LED display, two 8-character alphanumeric LED
displays and one 16-character alphanumeric LED display. The information shown on the various displays
depends on the state of the user interface as described
below.
When the MSP4 is being used to select a weld mode,
the 4-digit display (Item 2) indicates the selected weld
mode number. The upper 8-character alphanumeric
display (Item 3) indicates the electrode type (steel, aluminum, etc.) The lower 8-character alphanumeric display (Item 4) indicates the electrode size (.035", 1/16",
etc.).

Y
When the MSP4 is being used to change the value of
an attribute, the 7-segment displays show the selected
attribute’s value. The upper 8-character alphanumeric
display is typically not used while changing an
attribute’s value. The lower 8-character alphanumeric
display is used to indicate the units of the selected
attribute (e.g. seconds, in/min, etc.). The 16-character
alphanumeric display is used to display the name of
the selected attribute.
The content of the displays while the user interface is
being used for advance machine configuration (e.g.
limit setting, pass code entering, machine setup, etc.)
is described in later sections.
POWER-UP SEQUENCE
When power is first applied to the machine, a lamp test
is performed. All discrete LED’
segment displays will show a pattern of "8." and all
alphanumeric displays will show a hatch pattern where
every-other pixel is illuminated. The lamp test will last
for two seconds, after which all displays are turned
back off. The 16-character alphanumeric display will
show "Initializing…" while waiting for the Weld
Sequencer to announce bus available. The MSP4
alphanumeric displays will then display the name of the
weld table loaded in the power source while the user
interface prepares the machine for operation. After all
initialization is complete, the MSP4 will display the
weld mode information for the mode number that was
selected when the machine was last powered down.
CHANGING WELD MODES
To select a weld mode, press the left MSP4 pushbutton until the WELD MODE LED is illuminated. Turn the
MSP4 encoder until the desired weld mode number is

CHANGING ARC WAVE CONTROL
If the selected weld mode uses any of the four available
wave controls, users can press the left MSP4 pushbutton
until the ARC CONTROL
name and units (if applicable) of the available wave controls will appear. Note that the name of the control is
derived from the weld table and may not necessarily
appear as "Wave Control". Repeated pressing of the left
MSP4 pushbutton will cycle through all active wave controls and then the weld mode. Turning the MSP4 encoder
will change the value of the displayed wave control.
CHANGING WELD SEQUENCE BEHAVIOR
Weld sequencing attributes are grouped into two categories, STAR
OPTIONS may include Preflow Time, Run-in Wire Feed
Speed, and Start Time. END OPTIONS may include
Crater Time, Burnback Time and Postflow Time. The
attributes that appear in the START and END OPTIONS
are weld mode dependent. For example, if a TIG weld
mode is selected, Run-in WFS will not appear since it is
not relevant to the selected process. Repeated pressing
of the right MSP4 pushbutton will cycle through all relevant START and END OPTIONS. Turning the MSP4
encoder will change the value of the selected option.

OPERATION
When the Start Time attribute is set to a value other than
OFF, the START OPTIONS LED will blink synchronous
with the WFS and VOL TS/TRIM LED’s on the dual-display
panel. This blinking is used to indicate that start wire feed
speed and voltage/trim can now be set to values different
from those used while welding. Similarly, if the Crater
Time attribute is set to a value other than OFF, the END
OPTIONS LED will blink synchronously with the dual-display LED’s, indicating that crater wire feed speed and
voltage/trim now can be set to values different from those
used while welding.

P.4 Trigger Memory Recall
Enable = Selecting memories 2 through 6 with quick trigger pulls is enabled when the optional dual
procedure/memory panel is installed. To recall a memory
with the gun trigger, quickly pull and release the trigger the
number of times that correspond to the memory number.
For example, to recall memory 3, quickly pull and release
the trigger 3 times. Trigger memory recall can only be
performed when the system is not welding.
Disable = Memory selection is performed only by the buttons on the optional dual procedure/memory panel.
(default)
P.5 Procedure Change Method (Three Settings)
In order for any of these procedure change methods to
function, the "A-Gun-B" switch must be on the "Gun"
position.
1. "External Switch" (the default value), the machine will
only change the selected procedure when the procedure select digital input changes state.
OPERATION
made exclusively in procedure A, regardless of the 2/4
step switch position (this is intended to simplify tack welding when using a daul-schedule gun, such as the
Magnum 400 DS, while 4-step trigger is selected).
In order for any of these procedure change methods to
function, the “A-Gun-B” switch must be on the “Gun” position.
P.6 Push Pull Gun, Stall Factor Adjustment
The stall factor controls the stall torque of the push motor
when using a push-pull gun. The wire feeder is factory set
to not stall unless there is a large resistance to feeding
wire. The stall factor can be reduced to stall more easily
and possibly prevent bird nesting. However, low stall factors can cause motor stalling while welding which results
in the wire burning back to the tip.
If you are experiencing bird nests, check for other feeding
problems before adjusting the stall factor.
Default value for the stall factor is 75, with a range of 5 -
100.
To change the stall factor:
• Use the VOLTS/TRIM knob to adjust the stall factor.
Increasing the stall factor raises the motor torque and
decreasing the stall factor lowers the motor torque. Do
not increase the stall factor more than necessary. A high
stall factor may increase the occurrence of bird nesting
and a low stall factor may cause the wire to burn back to
the tip.
P.7 Push Pull Gun, Gun Offset Adjustment
The push-pull gun offset calibration adjusts the wire feed
speed calibration of the pull motor. The procedure should
only be performed when other possible corrections do not
solve the push-pull feeding problems. A rpm meter is
required to perform the pull gun motor offset calibration.
2. "Quick Trigger" (the optional value 1), the machine will
only change the selected procedure when the trigger is
released and quickly re-pulled while welding in 2-step.
Enable=Allows switching between procedure Aand procedure B while welding. The exception is that the procedure select digital input is no longer recognized.
3. "Integral Trigger Procedure" (the optional value 2),
the machine will only change the selected procedure
when the procedure select digital input changes state.
Machine operation is similar to the "External Switch"
selection except that additional logic prevents procedure
A from being re-selected when the trigger is quickly and
completely released at step 2 of the 4-step weld
sequence.
When setup parameter P.5 is set to “Integral ProcTrig”,
the machine will always operate in 2-step if a weld is

To perform the calibration procedure:
• Release the pressure arm on both the pull and push wire
drives.
• Set the wire feed speed to 200 ipm.
• Remove wire from the pull wire drive.
• Hold the rpm meter to the drive roll in the pull gun.
• Pull the trigger on the push-pull gun.
• Measure the rpm of the pull motor. The rpm should be
between 115 and 125 rpm. If necessary, decrease the
calibration setting to slow the pull motor, or increase the
calibration setting to speed up the motor. The calibration
range is -30 to +30, with 0 as the default value.

OPERATION
P.8 TIG Gas Control (Two Settings)
1. "Valve (manual)", the internal solenoid will not
actuate while TIG welding, gas flow is manually
controlled by an external valve.
2. "Solenoid (auto)", the internal gas solenoid will
turn on and off automatically while
as follows:
• Preflow time will not be accessible from the MSP4.
• Postflow time will be available in the MSP4 "End
Options" and have a range of OFF to 10.0 seconds.
• The postflow time value is maintained when
switching between MIG and TIG modes.
• When machine output on/off is controlled via the
right encoder, gas flow will not start until the tungsten touches, the work piece, gas flow will stop
after the postflow time when the arc is broken.
• When machine output on/off is controlled via an
arc start switch or foot Amptrol, gas will begin flowing when the output is turned on and stop flowing
after the postflow period after the output is turned
off.
P.9 Crater Delay
This parameter enables a timer delay for each feed
head to bypass the Crater option when short tack
welds are desired. If the trigger is released before
the timer expires, Crater will be bypassed and the
weld will end. If the trigger is released after the timer
expires, Crater will function as normal (if Crater
function is turned on).

In order to control the welding arc, the power source
continually monitors arc current and arc voltage.
Arc current is measured internal to the power
source. Arc voltage can be measured as follows:
oltage internal to the power source ("studs")
• V
• Voltage at the wire feeder ("67" lead)
• Voltage at a user-wired sense lead ("21" lead)
Remote voltage sensing (anything other than
"studs") is used to obtain a more accurate voltage
measurement since the sense lead is closer to the
arc. Remote voltage sensing can involve external
wiring and DIP switch configuration, there is a
potential for incorrect voltage measurement which
can lead to poor arc control or wire burn back.

DUAL HEAD / DUAL PROCEDURE WITH
MEMORY
In general terms, dual procedure and memory are essentially independent storage locations for information.
Procedures can be thought of as temporary or working
storage locations because they contain the weld settings
readily available for use, and when active, are easily modified. The dual procedure feature allows the operator to
switch between procedures (A and B) "on the fly" while
welding. In addition to their procedure set-up functions,
the procedure select push buttons serve as a means to
manually select the active feed head (wire drive). Memory
is more of a permanent storage location that cannot be
accessed while welding. It contains one complete set of
procedure information which can be recalled into the
active procedure (A or B). Conversely, the active procedure can be saved into memory for safe keeping.
Dual Procedure / Head Select
This feature allows the user to select Procedure A, Gun
(Remote Select), or Procedure B, as well as selecting the
active feed head (wire drive). The active feed head is indicated by the procedure group (A, Gun, B) with the illuminated LED(s), and only one procedure group / feed head
can be active at a time. Changing the active feed head
can be done in one of two ways. Either remotely
pulling the trigger of the inactive feed head, or locally by
momentarily depressing the procedure select pushbutton
of the inactive head.
When a procedure group / feed head is active, momentarily depressing the procedure select pushbutton will
change from Ato Gun, from Gun to B, or from B to A. The
corresponding LED will be lit to let the user know which
procedure is active. When the Gun position is selected,
the Gun LED will be solid red, and the active procedure
LED (A or B) will be flashing.
The active procedure is determined by the dual procedure
(Gun) input located in the gun receptacle, or through the
"Procedure Change with Trigger" feature if properly configured.

, by
When in the Gun position, if no dual procedure (Gun)
switch is plugged in, the Procedure defaults to A.
There are a total of four independent procedures available on this panel. Two for each feed head.
Both the contents of the active procedure, and the active
procedure itself (Ato B, or B to A) can be changed "on the
fly" during welding. Changing the active status of the feed
head can only be done when the system is in the idle
state. Procedure settings for each feed head, and active
procedure information are saved at power down.
Memory
This feature allows the user to save and recall up to six
individual procedures to/from a secured storage location.
Each of the six memory locations is capable of storing a
complete copy of the information associated with a single
procedure (A or B) including its individual limits. See the
complete list above.
Memories can be accessed at anytime, except when
welding. For wire fed processes this means anytime a
trigger is NOT
time current is NOT flowing.
Saving to Memory
To save an individual procedure (A or B) to memory, first
be sure the desired procedure of the desired feed head is
active (its LED is on). Press and hold the button of the
memory location you wish to store the procedure into.
After 2 seconds, the LED above the memory button will
begin to flash indicating that the procedure has been
saved. The LED will continue to flash as long as the memory button is depressed. When released the memory LED
will stay on steady, and remain lit as long as the contents
of the memory remain equal to the contents of the associated procedure.
If the memory button is released before the light begins to
flash (t < 2s), a memory recall function will occur instead
of a save function (i.e. the contents of the selected memory will copied to the active procedure).
Note:
It is not required to load all 6 memories at once, nor is it
necessary to load them in order.
activated. For CC processes it means any-
BB-14 BB-14
OPERATION
Recalling from Memory
To recall the contents of a memory into the active procedure, momentarily push the desired memory button (for
less than 2 seconds). The saved parameters will be
copied into the active procedure, and the LED of the
memory button will light indicating the source of the information. As with saving to memory, this light will remain lit
as long as the contents of the source memory remain
equal to the contents of the associated procedure.
If a constant current mode is saved to memory with the
power source in the "on" state, the "on" status will be
changed to "off" when the procedure is recalled. This prevents a potential safety hazard if a memory button is
pushed and the power source unexpectedly turns on.

2 STEP / 4 STEP OPERATION
The Wire Drive has a 2 Step / 4 Step switch located

requires the operator hold the gun trigger closed in
order to weld. 4-Step Trigger Mode eliminates the need
to hold the gun trigger closed while welding. Userselectable 4-step modes with or without current interlock. The switch in the down position will enable 2-Step
operation and in the up position enables 4 -Step operation. This switch has no effect in CC modes of operation, such as stick welding. Both 2 and 4 -Step can be
operated in Synergic and Non-Synergic modes. In a
Synergic mode, machine output tracks Wire Feed

COLD FEED/GAS PURGE SWITCH
The Wire Drive has a Cold Feed/Gas Purge Switch located
near the gun connector. This is an up/down center-off
momentary toggle switch.
When held in the up position, the Wire Drive will feed wire,
but neither the power source nor the gas solenoid will be
energized. When cold feeding, the feed speed can be adjusted by rotating the WFS encoder knob on the Control Box.
Adjusting the cold feed will not affect the run in or welding
wire feed speed. When the cold feed switch is released, the
cold feed value is saved.
When this switch is held in the down position, the gas solenoid valve is energized, but neither the power source nor the
drive motor will be energized.

HOT INCH
Hot inch occurs when the trigger is pulled and an arc is

Upslope, Downslope, Crater, Burnback, Postflow, etc
are all skipped when Hot Inch is activated.
FOOT AMPTROL
A Foot Amptrol Kit can be installed in order to operate
the output of the machine using a pedal. Located on
the Control Box, the Right encoder turns output on/off
if desired. The left encoder sets the max work point
limit. When the pedal is pressed OCV will be present
and gas will not flow. As soon as the tungsten touches
the work and there is current flow, the gas solenoid will
turn on. If the arc breaks the machine will enter the
postflow state. When the postflow timer expires, the
machine will return to OCV mode and no gas will flow
until the arc is established. If the pedal is released it
turns the machine off, postflow will be entered until
time out. When the postflow timer expires the machine
will return to idle state and wait for trigger. Preflow will
be presettable for external triggers if desired.
Triggering machine with encoder will skip preflow.

1) Turn the Reel or spool until the free end of the electrode is accessible.
2) While tightly holding the electrode, cut off the bent
end and straighten the first 6" (150 mm). Cut off the
first 1" (25 mm). (If the electrode is not properly
straightened, it may not feed or may jam causing a
"birdnest".)
3) Insert the free end through the incoming guide
tube.
4) Press the Cold Inch key or the Cold Feed Mode gun
trigger and push the electrode into the drive roll.
When feeding with the gun trigger, unless “COLD
WARNING
FEED” trigger mode is selected, the electrode and
drive mechanism are always “HOT” to work and
ground and could remain “HOT” several seconds
after the gun trigger is released.
___________________________________________
5) Feed the electrode through the gun.
1) Press end of gun against a solid object that is electrically isolated from the welder output and press
the gun trigger for several seconds.
2) If the wire "birdnests", jams, or breaks at the drive
roll, the drive roll pressure is too great. Back the
pressure setting out one turn, run new wire through
gun, and repeat above steps.
3) If the only result is drive roll slippage, disengage the
gun, pull the gun cable forward about 6" (150 mm).
There should be a slight waviness in the exposed
wire. If there is no waviness, the pressure is too
low. Increase the pressure setting one turn, reconnect the gun, tighten locking clamp and repeat the
above steps.
PROCEDURE FOR SETTING ANGLE
OF FEEDPLATE
1) Loosen the clamping collar screw using a 3/16"
Allen wrench. The clamping collar screw is
accessed from the bottom of the feedplate. It is the
screw which is perpendicular to the feeding direction.
2) Rotate feedplate to the desired angle and tighten
clamping collar screw.
Adjust the brake tension with the thumbscrew on
6)
the spindle hub, until the reel turns freely but with
little or no overrun when wire feeding is stopped.
Do not overtighten.
DRIVE ROLL PRESSURE SETTING
The Power Feed 10 Dual Wire Feeder pressure is factory pre-set to about position “2" as shown on the pressure indicator on the front of the feedplate door. This
is an approximate setting.
The optimum drive roll pressure varies with type of
wire, surface condition, lubrication, and hardness. Too
much pressure could cause “birdnesting”, but too little
pressure could cause wire feed slippage with load
and/or acceleration. The optimum drive roll setting can
be determined as follows:
GAS GUARD REGULATOR SETTING
1) With the gas supply shut off, the Gas Guard regulator flow adjusting Key should be set to maximum
(full clockwise) which is rated to be 60 SCFH (28
l/min).
2) Adjust gas supply flow rate for a level higher than
will be required, then adjust Gas Guard flow adjusting Key counterclockwise to the desired gas flow
rate.

7) Feed the electrode through the gun and cable and
then cut the electrode within approximately .38"
(9.5 mm) of the end of the contact tip for solid wire
and within approximately .75" (19mm) of the extension guide for cored wire.
13) If required, starting can be optimized by adjusting
the acceleration and/or run-in speed. (Refer to
Control Box Operation in this section).
WIRE REEL CHANGING
At the end of a coil, remove the last of the old electrode
coil from the conductor cable by either pulling it out at
the nozzle end of the gun or by using the following procedure:
1) Cut the end of the electrode off at the gun end. Do
not break it off by hand because this puts a slight
bend in the wire making it difficult to pull it back
through the nozzle.
2) Disconnect the gun cable from the gun connector
on the Power Feed 10 Dual wire drive unit and lay
the gun and cable out straight.
3) Using pliers to grip the wire, pull it out of the cable
from the connector end.
4) After the electrode has been removed, reconnect
the gun cable to the drive. Load a new reel of electrode per the instructions in “Wire Reel Loading” in
this section.
WIRE FEED OVERLOAD PROTECTION
8) Connect work cable to metal to be welded. Work
cable must make good electrical contact to the
work. The work must also be grounded as stated in
"Arc Welding Safety Precautions".
WARNING
When using an Open Arc
process, it is necessary to use
correct eye, head, and body
protection.

LIMIT SETTING
Each user memory can be optionally configured to limit
the user’s range of control over some user interface settings. By default, user limits are not enabled. To set limits for a selected memory, first select a weld mode and
perform a memory save. Next, press and hold the memory button for five seconds. Release the memory button
when the memory LED begins to blink rapidly and the
Mode Select Panel displays indicate "Set Limits".
If the pass code has been set to a value other than zero,
the user will be prompted to enter it. If the pass code is
zero, the Mode Select Panel will immediately display the
Limit Setup menu and the SETUP LED will illuminate:
One of these four items will blink to indicate which item
will change when the Mode Select Panel Knob is rotated.
Initially, the selected item will be the attribute. To select
the high limit, press either Mode Select Panel button and
the high limit value will begin to blink. Pressing either
Mode Select Panel button again will cause the memory
value to blink, pressing a third time will cause the low limit
to blink.
Weld modes cannot be selected from the Limits Setup
menu; the mode must be selected and saved to memory
prior to entering the Limits Setup menu.
The memory value, high and low limit values are bound by
the limits of the machine. For example, weld mode 49
may allow the wire feed speed to be adjusted between 10
and 200 in/min. These are referred to as "machine limits".
Machine limits can vary between power sources and are
also weld mode dependent.
The memory value must always be less than or equal to
the high limit and greater than or equal to the low limit.
The high limit must always be greater than or equal to the
low limit and the low limit must always be less than or
equal to the high limit. The rules are enforced automatically. If the low limit is increased above the memory
value, the memory value will automatically increase.

The above example shows a wire mode, constant current
weld modes would show "Weld Amps" rather than "Weld

There are four items displayed on each Limit Setup
screen. The long alphanumeric display shows the selected attribute (e.g. Weld WFS,Volts, etc.). The short
alphanumeric displays show the selected attribute’s high
and low user limits. The 7-segment displays show the
value that is copied to procedure memory when a memory recall is performed.

POWER FEED 10M SINGLE/DUAL
To lock an attribute to a specific value, set the high and
low limits to the desired value. The user will not be able
to change it.
After setting limits, press the memory button that is flashing. The Mode Select Panel displays will prompt the user
to save or discard the limit changes just made.
By pressing the Mode Select Panel button labeled YES,
changes to limits are saved and user limits are automatically enabled. By pressing NO, any changes made to limits are discarded and the limit enable/disable state is not
changed.
To enable or disable limits that have been established for
any memory, press and hold the respective memory button in for more than 10 seconds until the Mode Select
Panel displays "Enable Limits?" Pressing "Yes" will use
the established limits, while pressing "No" will ignore the
established limits. The limits that have been set for any
memory location will not be erased if they are disabled.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Standard on codes 10600 and up)
This ball bearing equipped incoming bushing can be
used in place of the standard incoming wire bushing,
when feeding solid steel or cored wire electrodes. It
significantly reduces any abrasion to the electrode wire
where it enters the feed head. This results in even
smoother, more trouble free operation.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual of the Torch for
Amperage and Duty Cycle rating information. The
torch rating may not match the rating of the power
source.

Safety Precautions
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch electrically live parts such
as output terminals or internal wiring.
When inching with gun trigger, electrode and
•
drive mechanism are “hot” to work and
ground and could remain energized several
seconds after the gun trigger is released.
• Turn OFF input power at welding power
source before installation or changing
drive roll and/or guide tubes.
• Welding power source must be connected to system ground per the National
Electrical Code or any applicable local
codes.
• Only qualified personnel should
perform maintenance work.
Observe all additional Safety Guidelines detailed
throughout this manual.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Avoiding Wire Feeding Problems
Wire feeding problems can be avoided by observing
the following gun handling and feeder set up procedures:
a) Do not kink or pull cable around sharp corners.
b) Keep the electrode cable as straight as possible
when welding or loading electrode through cable.
c) Do not allow dolly wheels or trucks to run over
cables.
d) Keep cable clean by following maintenance instruc-
tions.
e) Use only clean, rust-free electrode. The Lincoln
electrodes have proper surface lubrication.
f) Replace contact tip when the arc starts to become
unstable or the contact tip end is fused or deformed.
g) Do not use excessive wire spindle brake settings.
h) Use proper drive rolls, wire guides and drive roll
pressure settings.
Gun and Cable connection: After feeding every coil of
wire; check tightness of gun connection to wire feed
brass bushing.
Drive Rolls and Guide Tubes
After feeding every coil of wire, inspect the drive roll
section. Clean it as necessary.
Inner Wire Guides are stamped with the wire sizes
they will feed. If a wire size other than that stamped on
the roll(s) is to be used, the roll(s) and Inner Wire
Guides must be changed.
All drive rolls have two identical grooves. The rolls may
be flipped over to use the other groove.
See “Procedure to Install Drive Rolls and Wire Guides”
in the INSTALLATION section for roll changing instructions.
The driver rolls and
Wire Reel Mounting - Readi-Reels and
10 through 30lb (4.5-14kg) Spools
No routine maintenance required.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
• Every year inspect the gearbox and coat the teeth
with a Moly-disulfide grease. Do Not use graphite
grease.
• Every six months check the motor brushes. Replace
them if they are less than 1/4" long.
• Replace the drive rolls and inner wire guide when
they are worn.
• Replace the pig tail if the insulation is cut, abraded or
damaged.
Gun and Cable Maintenance
See appropriate Operator’s Manual.
Procedure for Removing Feedplate from
Wire Feeder
1) Loosen the clamping collar screw using a 3/16"
Allen wrench. The clamping collar screw is
accessed from the bottom of the feedplate. It is the
screw which is perpendicular to the feeding direction.
2) Loosen the retaining screw, which is also accessed
from bottom of feeder, using a 3/16" Allen wrench.
Continue to loosen the screw until the feedplate
can be easily pulled off of the wire feeder.
