Lincoln Electric IM911 manual Installation of Water Cooled Accessories, Connection to Wire Feeders

A-5 INSTALLATION A-5

INSTALLATION OF WATER COOLED ACCESSORIES

After following the installation instructions above, the COOL ARC® 40 is ready for connection to a water- cooled accessory.

WATER COOLED TIG TORCH AND MIG GUN Follow Figure 2 when using the COOL ARC® 40 with water-cooled TIG torches. Follow Figure 4 when using the COOL ARC® 40 with water-cooled MIG gun. Consult the manufacturer's instruction manual when using the COOL ARC® 40 with other water- cooled TIG and MIG accessories.

CONNECTION TO WIRE FEEDERS

Follow Figure 3 when using the COOL ARC® 40 in conjunction with a wire feeder. Because the COOL ARC® 40 requires continuos flow the feeder will need to have pass-through water hoses installed in order to operate with the COOL ARC® 40. DO NOT USE A WATER SOLENOID VALVE with the COOL ARC®

40.Water pass-through connection kits are available for wire feeders. Refer to product literature or the wire feeder's instructions manual for kit availability and fur- ther connection details. It is not required to run the water lines through the wire feeder. If pass-through water hoses are unavailable, connect the MIG gun as shown in Figure 4.

CAUTION

DO NOT USE A WATER SOLENOID VALVE with the COOL ARC® 40. When a solenoid valve clos- es, the pump dead-head, causing the pump to heat up and will lead to premature failure of the pump.

K529-10 POWER INPUT CABLE WITH WATER AND GAS HOSES

This cable assembly includes a (1) power cable, (1) control cable, (1) gas hose and (2) water hoses to connect a power source to a wire feeder. The cable length is 3.05 m (10 Ft.). The water hoses have 5/8"- 18 left hand male hose fittings and the gas hose has a 5/8"-18 right hand male hose fitting. The cable and hose lengths are designed to connect a wire feeder to a COOL ARC® 40 that is vertically mounted at the rear of a power source on a dual cylinder undercar- riage.

Refer to Figure 5 for an illustration of this connection.
