SPECIAL SITUATIONS
DO NOT WELD OR CUT containers or materials which previously
had been in contact with hazardous substances unless they are
properly cleaned. This is extremely dangerous.
DO NOT WELD OR CUT painted or plated parts unless special
precautions with ventilation have been taken. They can release
highly toxic fumes or gases.
Additional precautionary measures
PROTECT compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat,
mechanical shocks, and arcs; fasten cylinders so they cannot fall.
BE SURE cylinders are never grounded or part of an
electrical circuit.
REMOVE all potential fire hazards from welding area.
ALWAYS HAVE FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT READY FOR
IMMEDIATE USE AND KNOW HOW TO USE IT.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read this entire section of operating instructions before
operating the machine.

WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Unless using cold feed feature, when
feeding with gun trigger, the electrode and
drive mechanism are always electrically
energized and could remain energized
several seconds after the welding ceases.
• Do not touch electrically live parts or electrodes with your
skin or wet clothing.
• Insulate yourself from the work and ground.
• Always wear dry insulating gloves.
----------------------------------------------------------------
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous.
• Keep your head out of fumes.
• Use ventilation or exhaust to remove fumes
from breathing zone.
----------------------------------------------------------------
WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or
explosion.
• Keep flammable material away.
• Do not weld on containers that have held
combustibles.
----------------------------------------------------------------

ARC RAYS can burn.


• Wear eye, ear, and body protection.

PHASE ADJUSTMENT FOR MULTIPLE ARC SYS-


TEMS

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

Recommendations:

• For balanced waveforms a phase relationship of 90° should


be maintained between adjacent arcs.

• For unbalanced waveforms:


– Avoid switching at same time.
– Break up long periods of unchanged polarity relative
to adjacent arcs.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE on the internet at powerwavesoftware.com under Power
Wave® Submerged Arc Utilities.
Routine maintenance consists of periodically blowing out the
machine, using a low-pressure airstream, to remove
accumulated dust and dirt from the intake and outlet louvers,
and the cooling channels in the machine.

The rear portion of the machine that contains the filter and the
cooling fans slides out for easy access. Removing the four(4)
clips and pulling back on the rear portion of the machine will
provide access for cleaning the machine and checking the filter.
The filter may be removed from the right side of the machine.
See Figure A.1.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Calibration of the Power Wave® AC/DC 1000® SD is critical to its
operation. Generally speaking the calibration will not need
adjustment. However, neglected or improperly calibrated
machines may not yield satisfactory weld performance. To
ensure optimal performance, the calibration of output Voltage
and Current should be checked yearly.

USING THE STATUS LED TO TROUBLESHOOT SYSTEM PROB-


LEMS
The Power Wave® AC/DC 1000® SD is equipped with one externally mounted status
light. If a problem occurs it is important to note the condition of the status lights.
Therefore, prior to cycling power to the system, check the power source sta-
tus light for error sequences as noted below.

Included in this section is information about the power source Status LED and some
basic troubleshooting charts for both machine and weld performance.

The STATUS LIGHT is a dual-color LED that indicates system errors. Normal opera-
tion is steady green. Error conditions are indicated in the following Table E.1.

code digits are flashed in red with a long pause between digits. If more than one code is pre-
sent, the codes will be separated by a green light. Only active error conditions will be acces-

Error codes can also be retrieved with Weld Manager under System Status (available at

information contained in the error log.

To clear the active error(s), turn power source off, and back on to reset.
