All of these features are selected with a tactile-feel keypad,
and are set independently using one of two rotating knob
encoders, setting levels are displayed on one of two digital
LED displays.
The 10 Series Wire Drive assemblies include a heavy duty
head with externally changeable gear ratio and 4 driven roll
drives housed together in a single combination mounting
and connection box. Gun adapters are available to permit
use with a variety of standard welding guns.
Available Models:
The LN-10 Wire Feeder system is available configured in
both Bench and Boom models.
Bench Models consists of an LN-10 control and a 10
Series wire drive assembly premounted on a platform
with a dual 2" O.D. spindle mounting.
Boom Models consist of an LN-10 control and a choice of
wire drives designed to be mounted separately and joined
by available head to control cable assemblies.
The head to control cable assemblies are available in
two types; one control cable is required for each head:
K1498-"L" Includes a control cable with a 14-pin
ms style connection on each end, and
a 3/0 weld cable. Available in lengths
"L" of 16, 20 or 25 ft. (4.9, 6.1 or 7.6 m)
K681-"L" Same as above but does not include
weld cable available in lengths "L" of
12, 16 or 25 ft. (3.6, 4.9 or 7.6 m).
LN-10 Boom Packages (K1564-Series) are also avail-
able which include:
• LN-10 Control Box
• 10 Series Wire Drive
• Appropriate length Control and Weld Cables to
connect Control to Wire Drive
• Accessories specific to the Boom package
ordered
RECOMMENDED
AND EQUIPMENT
The LN-10 Wire Feeder system is recommended for
use with solid wire gas-metal-arc or CV Submerged
arc processes, as well as cored wire for Outershield
GMA or Innershield processes.
INSTALLATION
The wire type and size range for the wire drive used,
and gear ratio change selected, are given in the
Specifications.
Recommended power sources are Lincoln Electric
Company constant voltage power sources with 42
VAC auxiliary power and a 14-pin connector recepta-
cle. At the time of printing these include: CV 250,
CV300-I, CV-300, CV400-I, CV-400, CV500-I, DC-
400, CV-655, Invertec V300-PRO and DC-650 PRO.
The DC-250, DC-600, DC-1000 and the Pulse Power
500 (CV mode only) may also be used with the LN-10
if the optional K1520-1 115V / 42V Transformer Kit is
used.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

INSTALLATION OF THE LN-10
BOOM MOUNT WIRE FEEDER
COMPONENTS
Mounting the 10 Series Wire Drive
Mount the 10 Series wire drive to the boom or struc-
ture using the four 5/16-18 threaded mounting holes
located on the bottom of the drive connection box.
See Figure A.1 for the size and location of the mount-
ing holes. The feed plate assembly is electrically "hot"
when the gun trigger is pressed. Therefore, make
certain the feed plate does not come in contact with
the structure on which the unit is mounted.
The wire drive unit should be mounted so that the
drive rolls are in a vertical plane so dirt will not collect
in the drive roll area. Pivot the feed plate so it will
PROCESSES
point down at an angle so the wire feed gun cable will
not be bent sharply as it comes from the unit. See
"Procedure for setting angle of Feed Plate" in the
OPERATION section of this manual.
LN-10
ELECTRIC SHOCK can
kill.
• Turn the input power off at the power source
disconnect switch before attempting to connect
the input power to the LN-10 Control.
• Only qualified personnel should perform this installation.
