1. Disconnect main AC input power to the
IDEALARC DC-600.
2. Set the IDEALARC DC-600 ON/OFF PUSH
BUTTON to OFF.
3. Connect the wire feeder control cable leads to the
IDEALARC DC-600 terminal strip as shown in
Figure C.8.

TION TO THE IDEALARC DC-600
4. Connect the wire feeder control cable ground lead
to the frame terminal marked ( ).
NOTE: The IDEALARC DC-600 must be properly
grounded.
5. PERFORM THIS STEP ONLY IF THE LN-7 IS
EQUIPPED WITH A METER KIT.
Extend wire feeder control cable lead #21 so it
can be connected directly to the work piece.
a. Make a bolted connection using AWG #14 or
larger insulated wire. Tape the bolted con-
nection with insulating tape.
NOTE: If the work cable length is less than 25
feet and the connections to the work piece are
secure, then wire feeder control cable lead #21
can be connected directly to the DC-600 terminal
strip.
b. An S-16586- X remote voltage sensing work
lead is available for this purpose.
c. Keep the #21 lead electrically separate from
the work cable circuit and connection.
d. Tape the #21 lead to work cable for ease of
use.
NOTE: The connection diagram shown in Figure C.8
shows the electrode connected for positive polarity.
To change polarity:
a. Set the IDEALARC DC-600 ON/OFF PUSH
BUTTON to OFF.
b. Move the electrode cable to the Negative (-)
output terminal.
c. Move the work cable to the Positive (+) output
terminal.
d. Set the IDEALARC DC-600 CONTROL
CIRCUIT POLARITY SWITCH to NEGATIVE.
