ExAMPLES OF CONNECTING AN ARCLINK POWER WAVE SYSTEM

ArcLink Power Wave® products may be configured in many different ways. The flexible system allows multi- ple wire feeders to be connected to the same power source. The diagrams represent some of the common methods for connecting ArcLink Products.

Important: Bench model wire feeders cannot be sepa- rated into a separate control box and wire drive for a boom system.

ArcLink Systems

Many other ArcLink systems may be assembled besides those shown in this manual. The majority will self configure. If an assembled system flashes the sta- tus light green rapidly on all components, contact the Lincoln Electric Company for further assistance.

Current Power Feed™ 10M models that will not self

configure...

K2316-1 Power Feed™ 10M Dual Boom

These configurations will require Dip Switches to be set. See the power source instruction manual on how to disable self configuration.
