ArcLink Control Cables are available in two forms:
• K1543-xx series for most indoor or factory installations.
• K2683-xx series for outdoor use or when the equipment is
frequently moved.
ArcLink/LincNet control cables are special high quality cables for
digital communication. The cables are copper 5 conductor cable
in a SO-type rubber jacket. There is one 20 gauge twisted pair for
network communications. This pair has an impedance of approx-
izmately 120 ohms and a propagation delay per foot of less than
2.1 nanoseconds. There are two 12 gauge conductors that are
used to supply 40VDC to the network. The fifth wire is 18 gauge
and is used as an electrode sense lead.
Use of non-standard cables may lead to system shutdowns, poor
arc starting and wire feeding problems.
Control cables may be connected end to end to extend their
length. Use a maximum of 200 feet (61 m) of control cable
between components.
