MAKING A WELD
SETUP
a. Connect work cable to metal to be welded. Work
cable must make good electrical contact to the
work. The work must also be grounded as stated
in “Arc Welding Safety Precautions.”
b. Check that the LN-25™ is properly connected to
the power source for the polarity and process to
be used, and appropriate power source settings
are made for the procedure to be used. (Refer to
p owe r s o u r c e o p e ra t i n g a n d c o n n e c t i o n
instructions.)
NOTE: If the K431-1 Remote Output Control Kit or
K624-1 42V Remote Control Module is installed but
the LN-25™ is to be used without the Remote Control
Cable Assembly, then the Remote Board harness plug
must be removed from the 16-pin receptacle on the
Control Board and the jumper plug (T13498-21)
reinstalled.
c. Place the LN-25™ conveniently near the work
area in a location to minimize exposure to weld
spatter and to avoid sharp bends in the gun cable.
d. Connect the LN-25™ Clip Lead to work and set
Po larity Switch to same polarity as electrode.
e. Set WIRE FEED MODE switch to CV or VV (CC),
as appropriate for the power source, then set the
proper DIAL RANGE and WIRE SPEED dial set -
ting for the proper wire feed speed per the welding
procedure:
For CV: Set dial to the calibrated IN/MIN desired.
(Refer to Setting Constant Wire Feed Speed
Section.)
For CC: Set dial to value determined from the CC
Wire Speed Graph for the DESIRED IN/ MIN
and ARC VOLTS to be used. (Refer to Setting
Arc Sensing Wire Feed Speed Section.)
NOTE: If procedure permits a range of acceptable
arc voltage, use the middle of the range to
determine proper WIRE SPEED setting.
f. If using the optional Gas Flow Timer, set the de -
sired PREFLOW TIME and POSTFLOW TIME.
g. Be sure the proper contact tip for the wire size
being used is in the gun, and the gun is safe
from work contact. (Use the LN-25™ insulated
gun holder.)
