GENERAL DESCRIPTION

General Physical Description
The LN-25™ PRO DUAL POWER is specially engineered to
be the most rugged portable wire feeder available.
The plastic case is molded from a high impact, flame retar-
dant plastic for durability and low weight. The patent pend-
ing design keeps the internal components protected and
dry.
The heart of the LN-25™ PRO DUAL POWER is the 2 roll
MAXTRAC™ drive. The patented features on the wire drive
offer tool-less changing of the drive rolls and wire guides for
quick spool changes. A tachometer controlled motor powers
the patent pending drive rolls for smooth, steady feeding
without slippage.
General Functional Description
The LN-25™ PRO DUAL POWER as designed is a simple,
robust feeder. Standard features include 2 step/trigger inter-
lock switch, CV-CC switch, Gas Purge and Cold Feed.
The digital meters display arc voltage, arc amperage and
preset wirefeed speed.
The Dual Power LN-25 PRO has a patent pending electron-
ic circuit to allow easy transition from Across the Arc opera-
tion to Control Cable operation. Simply connect the work clip
and the electrode lead for Across the Arc welding.
Whenever a control cable is connected, the feeder switches
to Control Cable operation.
To improve contactor life, the contactor is always closed
when operating as a control cable feeder.
OPERATION
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES
