INSTALLATION

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK can kill.

•Have an electrician install and ser- vice this equipment.

•Turn the input power off at the fuse box before working on equipment.

•Do not touch electrically hot parts.

The 450WC gun can only be connected to a wire feeder with a Lincoln Fast-Mate™ connector, a European style gun connector or a wire feeder equipped with an adapter. See Table B.1 for the vari- ous adapters that are available. Install the adapter per the Instructions sent with the adapter.

Check that the feeder outgoing guide, as well as the drive rolls are appropriate for the electrode being used. When using a Fast-Mate Adapter Kit, be certain that the adapter guide tube is also correct.

Align and fully engage the brass connector end of the gun into the mating connector on the outgoing side of the feeder wire drive. Secure the cable connection by tightening the Fast-Mate™ connector collar nut.

Connection to a Power Wave power source equipped with a water cooler and K685 Synergic 7 wire feeder.

Connect the water hose quick connects to the recep- tacles on the front of the wire feeder. When connect- ing the hoses to the water supply, the WATER IN “BLUE HOSE” must be connected to the water out connector on the wire feeder.

The WATER OUT “RED HOSE” must be connected to the receptacle marked water in. The water cooler pro- vided with the Powerwave will provide adequate flow to cool the gun and has a safety switch that will pro- duce a “beeping” noise to warn the welder that there is no water flow. Do not weld until the flow problem is corrected and “beeping” stops.

Connection to other water coolers.

The water cooler should be rated for .58 gallons per minute (2.2 liters per minute) at 60 psi (4.08 atm) or greater. The connectors on the gun water hoses have a male quick connect fitting that will mate to a Rectus® Series 21 Coupler. (Note: A KP1529-1 adapter is available to connect the male quick con- nect to a CGA 033 left hand male connection). When connecting the hoses to the water cooler, the WATER IN “BLUE HOSE” must be connected to the water out connector on the water cooler. The WATER OUT “RED HOSE” must be connected to the water in connector on the water cooler.

Do not operate the gun without having water flowing through the gun. IRREPARABLE DAMAGE to the gun will occur if incorrectly connected or if operated

CAUTION

even for a short time without an adequate supply of cooling water. A flow sensor is recommended to pro- tect the gun. A K1536-1 flow sensor is available.
