Lincoln Electric IM463-A manual Fcaw Flux-Cored Operation, SAW Submerged Arc Operation, Mode Fcaw

FCAW (Flux-Cored) Operation

Properly connect a wire feeder control cable to either the terminal strip or to the Wire Feeder Receptacle.

If welding electrode positive, connect the electrode to the “+” output studs, and connect the work cable to the “-” studs labeled “GMAW, FCAW”. If welding electrode negative, reverse the connections. Do not make any connections to the left hand pair of output studs.

Set the control panel switches as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mode: FCAW

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Output Local or Remote (See “Output Control

Control: Switch”)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

LN-9/NA-5:Off, unless an LN-9 or NA-5 is being used.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wire Feeder Set to match the electrode polarity.

Voltmeter:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Output

Terminals: Remote

------------------------------------------------------------------------

If using Local output control, preset the desired welding voltage using the Output potentiometer and the voltmeter. If using Remote Output control, preset the welding voltage using a remote control, or with the voltage control on the wire feeder. If using an LN-9 and NA-5, see “operation with LN-9 or NA-5 Wire Feeder” section.

Set up the wire feeder according to the wire feeder instruction manual.

When the gun trigger is pulled (or the weld sequence is started) and an arc is struck, the voltmeter will display the welding voltage present at the output studs of the DC-650 PRO, and the ammeter will display the output current.

SAW (Submerged Arc) Operation

Properly connect a wire feeder control cable to either the terminal strip or to the Wire Feeder Receptacle.

If welding electrode positive, connect the electrode cable to the “+” output studs, and connect the work cable to the “-” studs labeled “SMAW,SAW”. If welding electrode negative, reverse the connections. Do not make any connections to the center pair of output studs.

Set the control panel switches as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mode: SAW

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Output Local or Remote (See “Output Control

Control: Switch”)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

LN-9/NA-5:Off, unless an LN-9 or NA-5 is being used.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wire Feeder Set to match the electrode polarity.

If using Local output control, preset the desired welding voltage using the Output Potentiometer and the voltmeter. If using Remote output control, preset the welding voltage using a remote control, or with the voltage control on the wire feed unit. If using an LN-9 or NA-5, see “Operation with LN-9 or NA-5 Wire Feeder “ section.

Set up the wire feed unit according to the wire feeder instruction manual.

When the gun trigger is pulled (or the weld sequence is started) and an arc is struck, the voltmeter will display the welding voltage present at the output studs of the DC-650 PRO, and the ammeter will display the output current.
