WIRE FEEDER CONNECTIONS

See the Accessories section of this manual for spe- cific instructions on connecting the following semi- automatic and automatic wire feeders to the Idealarc DC-400:

Automatic Wire Feeders:

NA-3

NA-5

Semi-automatic Wire Feeders:

LN-7

LN-8

LN-9

LN-25

LN-742

CONNECTIONS FOR STICK, TIG, OR AIR/CARBON ARC CUTTING OPERA- TIONS

The work and electrode cables for stick, TIG, or air/carbon arc cutting are connected as described ear- lier, under the heading Output Connections. A TIG torch is connected to the electrode (+) terminal of the welder. Select cable size according to Table A.1.

WARNING

Do not connect a TIG torch and stick electrode cable at the same time. They will both be electrically HOT.

If the Idealarc DC-400 is already set up for wire feeder operation, all wire feeder unit control, electrode, and work cables must be disconnected first before you can connect the cables for stick, TIG, or air/carbon arc operation.

However, the Idealarc DC-400 can be used for both wire feeder operation and stick, TIG, air/carbon arc operation if a K804-1 Multiprocess Switch is used. See the Accessories section of this manual for spe- cific instructions on connecting and using the Multiprocess Switch.
