DUAL PROCEDURE REMOTE CONTROL (K1449-1)

When this option is connected to the LN-10 Control Box receptacle, and the Procedure Key selects “REMOTE” the front panel knob controls and proce- dure selection is transferred to the knob encoder con- trols and Procedure Selector Switch of the remote, which function in the exact same manner. Remote knob encoders set Weld voltage and wire feed speed, as well as Trigger Cold Feed Speed, but not Timers or Run-In.

If using the optional K683-1, -3 Dual Procedure Switch, for a wire drive, to select A or B along with the (K1449-1) remote, both the front panel and remote Procedure selector and switch must be set to “REMOTE” and “Gun Switch” (center) positions.

The LN-10 Procedure lights indicate whether A or B is remotely selected.

WIRE REEL LOADING - READI-REELS, SPOOLS OR COILS

To Mount a 30 Lb. (14 kg) Readi-Reel Package (Using the Molded Plastic K363-P Readi-Reel Adapter:)

The Spindle should be located in the LOWER mounting hole.

1)Depress the Release Bar on the Retaining Collar and remove it from the spindle.

2)Place the Adapter on the spindle.

3)Re-install the Retaining Collar. Make sure that the Release Bar “pops up” and that the collar retainers fully engage the retaining groove on the spindle.

4)Rotate the spindle and adapter so the retaining spring is at the 12 o'clock position.

5)Position the Readi-Reel so that it will rotate in a direction when feeding so as to be de-reeled from bottom of the coil.

6)Set one of the Readi-Reel inside cage wires on the slot in the retaining spring tab.

7)Lower the Readi-Reel to depress the retaining spring and align the other inside cage wires with the grooves in the molded adapter.

8)Slide cage all the way onto the adapter until the retaining spring "pops up" fully.

WARNING

Check to be sure the Retaining Spring has fully returned to the locking position and has SECURELY locked the Readi-Reel Cage in place. Retaining Spring must rest on the cage, not the welding elec- trode.

___________________________________________

9)To remove Readi-Reel from Adapter, depress retaining spring tab with thumb while pulling the Readi-Reel cage from the molded adapter with both hands. Do not remove adapter from spindle.

FIGURE B.1

To Mount 10 to 44 Lb. (4.5-20 kg) Spools (12"/300 mm Diameter) or 14Lb.(6 Kg) Innershield Coils:

The Spindle should be located in the LOWER mounting hole.

(For 8" (200 mm) spools, a K468 spindle adapter must first be slipped onto spindle.)

(For 13-14 lb. (6 Kg) Innershield coils, a K435 Coil Adapter must be used).

1)Depress the Release Bar on the Retaining Collar and remove it from the spindle.

2)Place the spool on the spindle making certain the spindle brake pin enters one of the holes in the back side of the spool. Be certain the wire comes off the reel in a direction so as to de-reel from the bottom of the coil.

3)Re-install the Retaining Collar. Make sure that the Release Bar “pops up” and that the collar retainers fully engage the retaining groove on the spindle.
