The REDI-MIG 4s Wire Feeder has a drive plate with four drive rolls (all driven). It has been designed for use with continuous electrodes
with or without an externally applied shielding gas. The welding gun must have a standard "Euro" connector at the machine end.
Input power requirements are 42V AC 50Hz, which is supplied by the REDI-MIG Separate power source. The units also feature electrical
contacts to allow the power source output to be switched on and off, so that the gun and electrode will be electrically "cold" when not in use.
A gas solenoid is provided to automatically control gas flow when shielding gas is used.

Connections (refer to wiring diagram page 27)
1. The control/power cable includes a 4-pin amphenol plug and
carries the following circuits:
a) 42V, 50Hz AC control power (isolated from chassis)
b) A closing contact to switch on the welders output (provides 42V
switched on pins 'a' and 'b')
c) 42V, 50Hz AC control power (isolated from chassis)
d) Earth connection of power source to 4S wire feeder.

2. The welding power cable from the power source's "electrode"*
output.
* Electrode polarity is determined by the wire and welding
process. Refer to the appropriate handbook or the electrode
packaging.
For gas shielded processes, connect the gas hose (included
with standard input cable assembly) to the gas bottle regulator.
Incoming gas pressure must not exceed 1000kPa and a gas
regulator must be used.
Connect a suitable welding gun and cable assembly to the "Euro"
connector on the front panel. The REDI-MIG Separate power
sources are supplied with REDI-MIG guns as follows:
Machine Torch
LINC Gun® 240G / 360G MIG gun (as supplied)
42V AC 50Hz Supply
If the welding power source to be used does not have a 42V AC
auxiliary supply, a step-down transformer will be required. This
transformer must have a minimum rating of 220VA and an output
voltage of 42V + 5% 50Hz AC.
Contact Lincoln for further details required.
CAUTION
Never connect the green/yellow conductor to any of the
active supply lines from the mains. This conductor is to
earth the machine as required by Electrical Regulations.
Once the above has been followed the machine can be
plugged into the mains outlet.
