DRIVE MOTOR, TACH FEEDBACK

AND GAS SOLENOID

The leads to the drive motor, gas solenoid and the tach (hall effect device LF-74 and LF-72 above codes 11290) are brought into the control box via the 14 pin receptacle. This 14 pin receptacle also houses the gun trigger leads and the voltage sense leads. When the gun trigger is activated the control board energizes the gas solenoid, the wire drive motor and the welding power source. The control board receives a tach feed- back signal and adjusts the motor armature voltage to match the preset wire feed speed.

The control board also monitors the drive motor amperage and will shut down the wire drive for 30 to 60 seconds to allow the motor to cool if the amperage exceeds 3.75 amps for an extended time.

NOTE: Unshaded areas of Block Logic Diagram are the subject of discussion.
