LIFTING Lift the machine by the lift bail only . The lift bail is designed to lift the power source only . Do not attempt to lift the Power W ave with accessories attached to it. ST ACKING Power W ave machines can be stacked to a maximum of 3 high. The bottom machine must always be placed on a firm, secure, level surface.
A-3 INST ALLA TION POWER W A VE 455M/STT (CE) A-3 INPUT CONNECTION Only a qualified electrician should connect the input leads to the Power W ave 455M/STT (CE). Connections should be made in accordance with all local and national electrical codes and the con- nection diagram located on the inside of the reconnect/input access door of the machine.
A-4 INST ALLA TION POWER W A VE 455M/STT (CE) A-4 CABLE INDUCT ANCE, AND ITS EFFECTS ON PULSE WELDING For Pulse Welding processes, cable inductance will cause the welding performance to degrade. For the total welding loop length less than 15.24m (50 ft.
A-5 INST ALLA TION POWER W A VE 455M/STT (CE) A-5 Electrode V oltage 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.

B-8 OPERA TION B-8 PULSE WELDING Pulse welding procedures are set by controlling an overall "arc length" variable. When pulse welding, the arc voltage is highly dependent upon the waveform. The peak current, back ground current, rise time, fall time and pulse frequency all affect the voltage.
B-9 OPERA TION B-9 STT WELDING The pictures illustrate the wave shape of current for the process. They are not drawn to scale, and are intend- ed only for the purpose of showing how the variables effect the waveform. T rim in the STT mode adjusts the tail out and back- ground portion of the waveform.
