INSTALLATION

Dual Procedure Switch Options

K683-1Dual Procedure Switch (One per gun) - Requires K686-2 Adapter for LN-10. Kit includes gun switch, and mountings for Lincoln Innershield and Magnum guns, with 15 ft. (4.5 m) control cable and 3- pin plug. K686-2 Adapter permits 3-pin plug and 5-pin gun trigger plug to be connected to LN-10 5-pin Trigger/Dual Procedure receptacle.

Connect the 5-pin plug of the K686-2 Adapter to the LN-10 Wire Feeder Trigger/Dual Procedure 5-socket receptacle.

The 3-pin plug of the K683-1 Dual Procedure switch connects to the 3-socket receptacle of the Adapter, and the 5-pin plug of the welding un connects to the 5- socket receptacle of the Adapter.

K683-3Dual Procedure Switch Kit includes gun switch, and mountings for Lincoln Innershield and Magnum guns, with 15 ft. (4.5m) control cable and 5- pin plug with two leads to connect to gun trigger.

Connect the 5-pin plug of the K683-3 Dual procedure Switch to the LN-10 Wire Feeder Trigger/Dual Procedure 5-socket receptacle.

The two lead plug cord extending out of the 5-pin plug of the Dual Procedure switch is to be connected to the two trigger leads of the welding gun per the instruc- tions shipped with the kit.

K1449-1Dual Procedure Remote Control

Provides remote rotating knob encoder control of Wire Feed Speed and Voltage, along with a dual procedure selector switch, when the remote control is connected and REMOTE is selected by the LN-10 Procedure key. The LN-10 A or B procedure light will also be on to indicate which procedure is selected by the remote control.

The 4-pin plug of the remote control connects to the mating receptacle on the bottom of the LN-10 Control box.

The K1450-”L” Extension cable is used to extend the 16 ft (5m) cable attached to the remote control. Lengths “L” are available to match the Length of the control to boom mount wire drive cable being used.

K1561-1Robotics Interface Module - The module plugs directly into the LN-10 control board and pro- vides an interface to a properly equipped Fanuc robot.

When installed and properly configured, the K1561-1 Robotics Interface Module allows complete control of the welding process from the robot controller.

The Lincoln Electric Companyʼs Automation Center should be contacted for questions regarding installa- tion or operation of the Robotics Interface Module.

All other options, see ACCESSORIES section, are shipped with installation instructions.
