TEST PROCEDURE

Perform the following checks with the LN-9 GMA wire feeder connected to a Lincoln CV welding power source according to the proper connection diagram. (See the Installation section of this manual.)

A.Check for the proper wire feed inches per revolution of the drive roll.

1.Set the LN-9 GMA wire speed control for between 50 and 120 IPM (1.27 to 3.17 M/MIN).

2.Measure the precise length of wire fed by exactly 10 revolutions of the drive rolls. This measured length should be 53.0 ± .8 inches (1.35 ± .02 meters). If not, there may be a problem with the wire or the wire feed path. See the Troubleshooting Guide (Feeding Problems) in this sec- tion of the manual. Also check for correct drive roll tension adjustment.

B.Check for the proper drive roll revolutions per minute.

1.Adjust the LN-9 GMA wire speed control for the LN-9 GMA ACTUAL speed meter readings given in the table below.

2.Compare the corresponding LN-9 GMA drive roll RPM (counted revolutions in 60 seconds) and LN-9 GMA SET speed meter readings with the table below. The numbers should match. If not, perform the Meter Circuit Accuracy Test.
