COOL ARC ® 55 & COOL ARC

INSTALLATION OF WATER COOLED ACCESSORIES

After following the installation instructions above, the COOL ARC
55 is ready for connection to a water-cooled accessory.

WATER COOLED TIG TORCH AND MIG GUN

Follow Figure A.3 when using the COOL ARC
cooled TIG torches. Follow Figure A.5 when using the COOL
ARC ® 55 with water-cooled MIG gun. Consult the manufacturer's
instruction manual when using the COOL ARC
water-cooled TIG and MIG accessories.

CONNECTION TO WIRE FEEDERS

Follow Figure A.4 when using the COOL ARC
with a wire feeder. The feeder will need to have pass-through
water hoses installed in order to correctly function with the COOL
ARC ® 55, since the cooler requires continuous flow. DO NOT USE
A WATER SOLENOID VALVE with the COOL ARC
through connection kits are available for wire feeders. Refer to
product literature or the wire feeder's instructions manual for kit
availability and further connection details. It is not required to run
the water lines through the wire feeder, but is does provide a
very neat MIG gun connection. If pass-through water hoses are
unavailable, connect the MIG gun as shown in Figure A.5.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE A WATER SOLENOID VALVE with the COOL ARC
55. When a solenoid valve closes, the pump would dead-
head, causing the pump to heat up excessively leading to
premature failure of the pump.

This cable assembly includes a (1) power cable, (1) control
cable, (1) gas hose and (2) water hoses to connect a power
source to a wire feeder. The cable length is 10'. The water hoses
have 5/8"-18 left hand male hose fittings and the gas hose has a
5/8"-18 right hand male hose fitting. The cable and hose lengths
are designed to connect a wire feeder to a COOL ARC
to Figure A.6 for an illustration of this connection.
