CONNECTING THE LN-7 WIRE FEEDER TO THE IDEALARC DC-1000

1.Set the IDEALARC DC-1000 ON/OFF PUSH BUTTON to OFF.

2.Disconnect main AC input power to the IDE- ALARC DC-1000.

3Connect the wire feeder control cable leads to the IDEALARC DC-1000 terminal strip as shown in Figure C.5.

4.Connect the wire feeder control cable ground lead

to the frame terminal marked .

CAUTION

The IDEALARC DC-1000 must be properly grounded.

____________________________________________________

5.PERFORM THIS STEP ONLY IF THE LN-7 IS EQUIPPED WITH A METER KIT.

Extend wire feeder control cable lead #21 so it can be connected directly to the work piece.

a.Make a bolted connection using AWG #14 or larger insulated wire.

b.Tape the bolted connection with insulating tape.

NOTE: If the work cable length is less than 25 feet and the connections to the work piece are secure, then wire feeder control cable lead #21 can be con- nected directly to the DC-1000 terminal strip.

NOTE: An S-16586-X remote voltage sensing work lead is available for this purpose.

b.Keep the #21 lead electrically separate from the work cable circuit and connection.

c.Tape the #21 lead to work cable for ease of use.

6.Connect the welding cables as shown in Figure C.5.

the IDEALARC DC-1000

NOTE: Welding cables must be of proper capacity for the current and duty cycle for immediate and future applications.

NOTE: The connection diagram shown in Figure C.5 shows the electrode connected for positive polarity. To change polarity:

a.Set the IDEALARC DC-1000 ON/OFF PUSH BUTTON to OFF.

b.Move the electrode cable to the Negative (-) output terminal.

c.Move the work cable to the Positive (+) output terminal.

d.Set the IDEALARC DC-1000 CONTROL POLARITY SWITCH to NEGATIVE.
