Lincoln Electric IM528-B manual Installation with other Lincoln Power Sources

INSTALLATION

Installation with other Lincoln Power Sources

Installation consists of connecting the input work and electrode cables, TIG torch, work lead, the proper control cable, and an Arc Start Switch or Amptrol. Tables 6 and 7 list the equipment required for installing and operating the TIG Module on various Lincoln power sources.

If the TIG Module is being used for AC TIG welding, the TIG Module’s input power must be properly phased with respect to the welder output current. This would be a front panel 115VAC receptacle for engine welders. For transformer welders, the TIG Module must be connected to the same phase as the welding supply. The best way to assure this is to connect the TIG Module input cord, properly fused, to a source of 115VAC inside the power source. In Lincoln transformer welders rated 250 amps and higher, this would be

the supply leads to the fan motor. Although the TIG Module will operate on a different phase, the AC TIG arc will be less stable.

For DC TIG welding, the TIG module’s input may be connected to any convenient source of 115VAC; the input phasing is unimportant.

Refer to Figure 6 for the connection diagram for the TIG Module when used with various Lincoln power sources. Make sure all connections are tight before proceeding.

If using the K936-2 Input Cable (9-socket to 8 lugged leads), connect the leads at the power source end of the cable to the matching terminals on the power source (2 to 2, 4 to 4, etc.).

For other installations, connect the plugs on the end of the Input Cable to the mating receptacles on the power source.
