DIP SWITCH SETTINGS AND LOCATIONS

DIP switches on the P.C. Boards allow for custom
configuration of the Power Wave. To access the DIP
switches:

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

1. Turn off power to the power source at

the disconnect switch.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Remove the wrap around cover from the power

source.

3. The control board is on the center assembly facing

the case front. Locate the 8-position DIP switch and
look for switch 8 of the DIP switch.

4. Using a pencil or other small object, slide the switch

to the OFF position if the work sense lead is NOT
connected. Conversely, slide the switch to the ON
position if the work sense lead is present.

CONTROL BOARD DIP SWITCH:

switch 1 = reserved for future use
