FIELD INSTALLED OPTIONS

Remote Output Control (K775 or K857

with K864 Adapter)
An optional "remote out control" is available. The
K775 is the same remote control that is used on other
Lincoln power sources. The K775 consist of a control
box with 28 feet (8.5mm) of four conductor cable. This
connects to terminals 75,76, and 77 on the terminal
strip (T.S.1) and the case grounding screw so marked
with the symbol " " on the machine. These termi-
nals are located behind the hinged cover on the case
front. This control will give the same control as the
output control on the machine.
The K857 is similar to the K775, except the K857 has
a 6-pin MS-style connector. The K857 requires a
K864 adapter cable which connects to the 14-pin con-
nector on the case front.

Remote Control Adapter Cable (K864)

S T R A I G H T P L U G ( 1 4 P I N )
T O P O W E R S O U R C E
A "V" cable 12" (.30 m) long to connect a K857
Remote Control (6-pin connector) with an LN-7 wire-
feeder (14-pin connector) and the machine (14-pin
connector). If a remote control is used alone the wire-
feeder connection is then not used.

ACCESSORIES

Undercarriages (K817P, K842)

For easy moving of the machine, optional undercar-
riages are available with polyolefin wheels (K817P) or
