3. WIRE FEED SPEED KNOB

-

The Wire Feed Speed

knob is a 3-3/4 turn potentiometer that adjusts of

the rate of feeding electrode. The wire feed speed

range is 50 - 700 inches/min (1.3 - 17.8 m/min)

4. TRIGGER CONNECTOR-5 Pin Receptacle is used

to activate the Magnum Gun Switch.

5. CONNECTOR BUSHING-This connection is for

welding conductor cable assembly.

6. WORK CLIP LEAD-This lead must be connected

directly to the work using the spring clip.

7. ON / OFF SWITCH-For codes 11033 and above:

The ON / OFF Switch turns power on and off to the

wire feeder.

83% PROCEDURE

The LN™-15 supports a special "dual procedure"

mode. When activated, the wire feed speed is

reduced to 83% of the set value, but no less than 50

inches/minute (1.27 m/min). The 83% procedure is

most commonly used during pipe and out of position

welding. Requires Magnum 400 Dual Procedure Gun

Equivalent.

ACROSS THE ARC MODEL

1. WIRE FEED SPEED DISPLAY-The Wire Feed

Speed display shows the rate the LN™-15 will feed

electrode during welding. The default WFS units

for domestic models are inches/minute and can be

changed to meters/minute through the configuration

menu. The default WFS units for the European

models are m/min. The wire feed speed is calibrat-

ed to within ±2%.

2. VOLTAGE DISPLAY

-

The voltage display shows

the average arc voltage during welding. A minus

sign "-" appears when welding with electrode nega-

tive welding procedures. While welding, an LED

will illuminate below the voltage display. After weld-

ing, the average voltage will continue to be shown

for 5 seconds after the end and the LED will flash.

of the weld. When not welding, the display shows

"- - - ". The voltage is calibrated to ±2% over a

range of 10 to 45 volts.

The voltage display is not a "preset" voltage.

Refer to the examples from Figure B.1a.
