CONNECTION OF AN LN-23P WIRE FEEDER TO THE COMMANDER 500

•Shut the welder off.

•Connect the LN-23P per instructions on the appro- priate connection diagram in the DIAGRAMS sec- tion. (NOTE): When connecting an LN-23P to the Commander 500, a K350-1 adapter kit must be used.

•Set the “WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER” switch to “-”.

•Set the “SELECTOR” switch to “CV-WIRE” position.

•Set the “WELDING TERMINALS” switch to

“REMOTELY CONTROLLED”.

•Set the ARC CONTROL to desired crispness. SOFT for MIG - CRISP for Innershield.

•Set the “IDLE” switch to the “HIGH” position. If you are using an LN-23P with the K350-1 adapter kit, the electrode is not energized until the gun trigger is closed.

CONNECTION OF AN NA-3 AUTOMATIC WELDING SYSTEM TO THE COMMANDER 500

For connection diagrams and instructions for connect- ing an NA-3 Welding System to the Commander 500, refer to the NA-3 Welding System instruction manual. The connection diagram for the LN-8 can be used for connecting the NA-3.

CONNECTION OF AN LN-742 TO THE COMMANDER 500

•Shut the welder off.

•Connect the LN-742 per instructions on the appro- priate connection diagram in the DIAGRAMS sec- tion.

•Set the “WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER” switch to either “+” or “-” as required by the electrode being used.

•Set the “SELECTOR” switch to the “CV-WIRE” posi- tion.

•Adjust the “ARC CONTROL” knob to desired Crispness. SOFT for MIG and CRISP for Innershield.

•Set the “WELDING TERMINALS” switch to the “REMOTELY CONTROLLED” position.

•Set the “IDLE” switch to the “AUTO” position. When not welding, the Commander 500 engine will be at the low idle speed.
