INPUT RECEPTACLE, CONTROL BOARD AND OPERATOR CONTROLS

The 42 VAC input voltage is applied to the LN-10 through a 9-pin amphenol type receptacle. The remote control and trigger leads are also accessed through this 9-pin receptacle. The 42 VAC is rectified by a full wave bridge and sent to the control board where it is filtered. This filtered DC voltage is applied to a switching power supply. The switching power supply manufactures +12VDC and -12VDC regulated supplies for the control board circuitry. A +5VDC reg- ulated supply is also developed for the control board circuitry.

The control board receives commands from the user operated controls such as the volts encoder, the wire feed speed (WFS) encoder and the keypad. It also receives feedback information from the wire feed head as to the wire feed speed and the arc voltage. The control board compares the feedback information with the user command signals and generates the appro- priate signals to control wire feed speed, arc voltage and gas flow.

The current sensing switch and ground lead protector are connected to the control board via plug J1. The current sensing reed switch closes when welding cur- rent is established. This closure signals the control board to change from the run-in welding parameters to the preset welding wire feed speed and arc voltage. If the ground lead protector is activated, the trigger cir- cuit will be disabled and the WFS display will show “GLP”.
