Turn off input power to the welding power source using the disconnect switch before working on this equipment.

INTRODUCTION

This section covers the basic requirements to install the control box and welding head shown in Figure A.1. This section will give you mounting hole alignments, component mounting clearances, and any special instructions or precautions that must be fol- lowed when installing the control box and mounting head.

CONTROL BOX INSTALLATION

The control box can be mounted either on the standard travel carriage or on a separate fixture. It is electrically grounded by a lead in the input cable assembly.

To install the control box on the standard travel carriage, use mounting kit T14469 and perform the following steps. Also refer to Figure A.2.

1.Align the mounting holes in adapter plate M-13945 to the holes in the travel carriage.

2.Install four hex head screws through the adapter plate and into the travel carriage.

3.Secure the control box to the adapter plate with four lock washers and four bolts, two from the bottom and two from the back.

Before mounting the control box onto a fixture, you must provide mounting holes in the fixture per the measurements provided in Figure A.3 or dimension print S16717. When placing the mounting holes, ensure the controls and meters are convenient to the operator.

NA-5S, NA-5N, NA-5SF, NA-5NF specifications

The Lincoln Electric NA-5NF, NA-5SF, NA-5N, and NA-5S are advanced welding helmets that are pivotal in enhancing the safety and efficiency of welders in various applications. These models are designed to provide exceptional protection and visibility, making them indispensable tools in the welding industry.

One of the main features of the NA-5 series is the auto-darkening filter technology. This feature allows the helmet to automatically adjust its shade based on the intensity of the arc. As the welder strikes an arc, the lens darkens instantaneously, shielding the eyes from harmful rays generated during the welding process. This functionality not only ensures safety but also enhances productivity, as welders do not need to manually flip the helmet up and down.

The helmets are equipped with a wide viewing area that allows for better visibility and precision while working. With a large lens, welders can easily monitor their work and surrounding environment, minimizing the risk of accidents. Additionally, the lightweight design of the NA-5NF, NA-5SF, NA-5N, and NA-5S provides comfort during extended periods of use, reducing neck strain and fatigue.

The NA-5 series is also well-regarded for its durability. Constructed from impact-resistant materials, these helmets can withstand the rigors of demanding work environments. This durability extends the lifespan of the helmet, making it a cost-effective investment for both professional and hobbyist welders.

Another notable characteristic is the adjustable sensitivity and delay settings found in certain models. These settings allow the user to customize the helmet based on their specific welding conditions. For instance, a welder can increase sensitivity for low-amperage tasks or adjust the delay to allow for a smoother transition from dark to light after completing a weld.

Furthermore, the helmets come with a reliable battery life, ensuring that they can be used for long periods without interruption. Some models also feature solar assist functionality, which helps recharge the auto-darkening filter, enhancing their overall efficiency.

In summary, the Lincoln Electric NA-5NF, NA-5SF, NA-5N, and NA-5S welding helmets represent a significant advancement in personal protective equipment for welders. Their combination of auto-darkening technology, wide viewing area, lightweight design, durability, and customizable settings makes them an excellent choice for anyone engaged in welding tasks. With these helmets, users can achieve greater safety and efficiency in their work, enabling them to focus on their craft with peace of mind.
