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 PROCESSES 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.

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, DC-600, CV-655, Invertec V300-PRO, V350- PRO DC-650 PRO and DC- 655.

The DC-250, 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

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.

INSTALLATION OF THE LN-10 BOOM MOUNT WIRE FEEDER COMPONENTS

Mounting the 10 Series Double Header 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 cer- tain 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 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.
