PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The DC-1000 is an SCR-controlled three phase DC power source. It is designed with a single range potentiometer control for submerged arc or open arc automatic and semiautomatic welding. It can be used for air carbon arc cutting with carbon rods up to and including 5/8” not(15.9mm) dia. The DC-1000 (below

code 9500) is recommended for stick welding or for solid wire and gas in the short arc welding mode. With the addition of the 500 amp output stud to DC- 1000 models above code 9500, GMAW procedures can be performed. This connection provides the enhanced lower current arc characteristics required for this type of welding.

The DC-1000 is provided with a three position mode switch that selects CV Innershield®, CV Submerged Arc or CC (Variable Voltage) Submerged Arc.

The unit is designed to be used with the NA-5, NA-5R and NA-3 automatics, the LT-56 and LT-7 tractors, and can also be used with the LN-7, LN-8 or LN-9 semiautomatic wire feeders.

NOTE: All P.C. boards are protected by a moisture resistant coating. When the welder is operated, this coating will “bake off” of certain power resistors that normally operate at high temperatures emitting some smoke and odor for a short time. These resistors and the P.C. board beneath them may become blackened. This is a normal occurrence and does not damage the component or affect the machine performance.

TO SET POLARITY

Turn off the DC-1000 and connect the electrode cable to the “Positive” or “Negative” studs depending upon the electrode polarity desired. Connect the work cable to the other stud. (See “Output Connections”).

Set the “Electrode Negative-Electrode Positive” switch to correspond to the polarity of the electrode cable connection. This switch setting is necessary for proper operation of some Lincoln wire feeders and does not change the welding polarity.

Starting the Machine - The push button power “on” switch at the extreme right side of the control panel energizes and closes the three phase input contactor from a 115 volt auxiliary transformer. This in turn ener- gizes the main power transformer.

The red light below the stop-start button indicates when the input contactor is energized.

Output Control - The output control in the center of the control panel is a continuous control of the machine output. The control may be rotated from min. to max. while under load to adjust the machine output.

The machine is equipped with line voltage compensa- tion as a standard feature. This will hold the output rel- atively constant except at maximum output of the machine, through a fluctuation of +/- 10% of input line voltage.

Output Control at DC-1000 or Output Control Remote Switch

The toggle switch on the control panel labeled “Output Control at DC-1000” / “Output Control Remote” gives the operator the option of controlling the output at the machine control panel or at a remote station. For remote control, the toggle switch is set in the “Output Control Remote” position and controlled at the wire feed unit control or by connecting a K775 control to the appropriate terminals (as indicated on the connec- tion diagram) on the terminal strip at the front of the machine. For control at the machine control panel, the toggle switch is set in the “Output Control at DC-1000” position.
