Table A.1 located below are copper cable sizes rec- ommended for different currents and duty cycles. Lengths stipulated are the distance from the welder to work and back to the welder again. Cable sizes are increased for greater lengths primarily for the purpose of minimizing cable drop.
ANALOG CONTROL CABLE K1797-xx he control cable connecting the wire feeder to the power source is specially made for the welding envi- ronment. The wire feeder power requires overcurrent protec- tion. Connect the wire feeder only to power sources where the overcurrent protection is no more than 15 amps.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS READ AND UNDERSTAND ENTIRE SECTION BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE. WARNING • ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. Unless using COLD FEED fea- ture, when feeding with gun trig- ger, the electrode and drive mechanism are always electri- cally energized and could remain energized several sec- onds after the welding ceases..
DEFINITION OF WELDING TERMS • Wire Feed Speed • Constant Current • Constant Voltage GMAW • Gas Metal Arc welding SMAW • Shielded Metal Arc welding FCAW • Flux Core Arc Welding GENERAL DESCRIPTION General Physical Description The LN-25™ PRO DUAL POWER is specially engineered to be the most rugged portable wire feeder available.

Wire Feed Speed, CV Operation When Across the Arc models are operated with CV power sources, the wire feed speed will remain a con- stant value, independent of arc voltage changes, as along as the arc voltage does not drop below the val- ues per the following table.
Perform regular maintenance and cleaning on the gun liner, conduit and gun. Always use quality electrode, such as L-50 or L-56 from Lincoln Electric. 8. VOLTAGE DISPLAY (See displays in Item 1 for Voltage functions) 9. VOLTAGE LED (See displays in Item 1 for LED functions.)

POWER-UP SEQUENCE All of the LED’s will briefly illuminate during power-up. If the gun trigger is activated during power up, the feeder will not operate until the gun trigger is released. 1. WIRE FEED SPEED/AMPERAGE DISPLAY Idle The left display shows the wire feed speed. The right display is blank.
WFS CALIBRATION WITH DIGITAL METERS (K2613-4, K2614-1, -2 & -3 ) To calibrate the wire feed speed, before entering the set-up menu: Set the display to the desired wire feed speed (exam- ple: 400 inches per minute) Measure the actual wire feed speed (example: 405 inches per minute) While in the set-up menu, adjust the calibration factor as follows:...

B-11 1. GAS PURGE PUSHBUTTON (See Figure B.4) The gas solenoid valve will energize but neither the power source output nor the drive motor will be turned on. The Gas Purge switch is useful for setting the proper flow rate of shielding gas. Flow meters should always be adjusted while the shielding gas is flowing.
