invertec 350pro powerwave 355

[brett friel]

can the 350 pro be used as a power supply instead of the 355 powerwave for a lincoln 10m or 25m wire feeder
will the feeder retain all of its synergic and pulse functions
thanks

I don't think you can. even though both units are almost the same. The wiring harness and feeder interfaces are different. on a power wave you have a 5 pin plug.
2 pins are 42 volts, 2 pins are for digital communication. 1 pin for weld voltage feedback. on the 350 pro, depending on which model you have, they can have two
plugs. one is a standard remote plug like TIG welders have and the other is a standard 14 pin feeder plug. No digital communication in either plug. if you have the contractor model you do not have a feeder plug at all. can't upgrade to a factory or advanced model machine. But with the factory model you can upgrade it with a advanced process panel and gain almost all the power wave modes. The only difference between the factory and advanced models is the msp. Mode switch panel.
or advanced process panel.
You will have to check with Lincoln and see if your code number welder can still be upgraded. Pulse welding is selected at the welder. you can still use the standard wire feeder.
