1. Make sure the DIP switches are
configured correctly for the weld-
ing polarity being used. See
Setting Dip Switches in the
Wire Drive in the Installation
section of this manual.
2. Check the #67 lead on the wire
drive unit. Make sure it is con-
nected to the motor gear box and
also the voltage sense PC board.
3.Check the work sensing leads on
the Power W
ave 455 power
source. Check leads #202 (Neg.
output terminal) and #206 (pos.
output terminal). See Power
Wave 455 wiring diagram. If
esternal voltage sensing is uti-
lized, Check the #21 lead
between the 4-pin receptacle on
the front of the Power Wave 455
and the workplace.
1. Check leads #513 and #514 from
J85 on the feedhead board to the
voltage sense PC board.
2. Perform the Voltage Sense
Board Test.
3. The display board may be faulty.
4. The feedhead control board may

Control Box and wire drive unit.
1. Make certain the COLD
INCH/GAS PURGE switch is
operating properly.
2. Check for loose or faulty leeds
between COLD INCH/GAS
PURGE switch and the wire
drive control board. See wiring
diagram.
1. If the COLD INCH/GAS PURGE
switch is operating correctly and
the associated leeds are OK.
The feedhad board may be
faulty.
The COLD INCH/GAS PURGE
switch does not turn on the wire
drive motor but gun trigger closure
in the MIG or Pulse modes does

The LEDs are steady green on the
power source, Control Box and
wire drive unit.
1. Make certain the COLD
INCH/GAS PURGE switch is
operating properly.
