Wire Feed Speed Validation
(See Figure D.1)
Calibration of the LN-25™ PRO EXTREME may be
required when the p.c. board, wire feed speed poten-
tiometer or motor is replaced or serviced. Calibration
matches the scale on the name plate to the actual wire
feed speed.
Tools required:
• RPM meter
• Constant voltage DC welding power source (DC-400,
V-350, CV-400 or equivalent)
• 7/16" open end wrench
To verify if calibration is necessary:
1. Turn power OFF.
2. Set the wire feed speed per the table.
Model gearing Wire Feed Speed Acceptable Range
Normal Speed 400 in/min
3. Remove the plastic cover from the lower portion of the
wire drive with a 7/16" wrench.
4. Connect the LN-25™ PRO EXTREME to the con-
stant voltage DC welding power source. The work
lead of the LN-25™ PRO EXTREME must be con-
nected to the work terminal of the power source.
5. Turn power ON.
6. Measure the motor rpm when the COLD FEED button
is pressed.
7. Verify the rpm is within the acceptable range.
