Mounting Synergic 7F Wire Drive Unit

Mount the wire feed unit by means of the insulated mounting bracket attached to the bottom of the gearbox. Reference L9777 (included with Drive unit) to find the size and location of the mounting holes. The gearbox assembly is electrically “hot” when the gun trigger is pressed. Therefore, make cer- tain the gearbox does not come in contact with the structure on which the unit is mounted.

The wire feed unit should be mounted so that the drive rolls are in a vertical plane so dirt will not collect in the drive roll area. Position the mechanism so it will point down at about a 45° angle so the wire feed gun cable will not be bent sharply as it comes from the unit.

Note: The K1565-1 Control Box must be used with the K679 drives.

(Removed from the wire drive unit.) (See Figure A.3)

Remove reed switch energizer assembly which includes: 4-pin connections, energizer spacer, insulation, mounting screws and washers from reel stand.

Mount the reed switch energizer assembly on the mounting bracket (G2868) as shown In Figure A.3. Then install mounting bracket G2868 to the rear of STT-10 control box. Secure it on the sides of box with (4) # 10-3/8” long screws.

The STT-10 Boom Model has two keyhole slots and one bottom slot for mounting. See Figure A.2 for the size and

location of these slots. Mount the box at some convenient

location close to the wire drive unit which will enable the 2.62 desired control cable to reach between the control box and

the drive unit.

Connecting Wire Drive Unit to Control Box.

One K1567-“L” head to control cable is needed to connect between the control box and the wire drive.

K1567-“L” Includes a control cable with 14-pin MS style connec- tion on each end, and a weld cable (rated 300 amps, 60% duty cycle) to route between the wire drive and the control box. Avaialble in lengths “L” of 16,20 or 25 ft. (4.9, 6.1m or 7.6m).

a) Making certain the cables are protectedfrom any sharp corners

which may damage their jackets, mount the cable assembly

along the boom so the end with the female amphenol connector

pins is at the wire feed unit.

a)Drill the required holes in the mounting surface, partially Install 1/4-20 screws.

b)Mount the box.

c)Tighten the screws.

b) Take the cables and connect the 14 pin cable between the 14 pin

receptacles on the wire drive unit and 14 pin receptacle on the

STT-10 Control Box.

c) Take electrode cable thatʼs part of the cable and connect one end

of the ½ connection bolt on the front of wire drive and the other

end to one side of the energizer assembly.
