INSTALLATION

LN-10 Connection Instructions

• Turn the Invertec power switch "off"
• Connect the K1505 control cable from the LN-10 to the

14-pin MS-style connector.

• Connect the electrode cable to the output terminal of

polarity required by the electrode. Connect the work
lead to the other terminal.

• Set the meter polarity switch on the front of the Invertec

to coincide with wire feeder polarity used.

• See the LN-10 manual for details on accessing Control

DIP Switch

LN-742 Connection Instructions

• Turn the Invertec power switch "off"
• Either a K591 or a K593 Input cable assembly is

required to connect the LN-742 to the Invertec.

• Connect the control cable from the LN-742 to the

14-pin MS-style connector.

• Connect the electrode cable to the output terminal

of the polarity required by electrode. Connect the
work lead to the other terminal.

• Set the meter polarity switch on the front of the

Invertec to coincide with wire feeder polarity used.
The wire feeder will now display the welding volt-
age.

• If a remote control such as K857 is to be used with the

LN-742, the remote can be connected directly to the 6-
pin MS-style connector on the front of the Invertec or use
a K864 adapter to connect the LN-742 and the remote to
the 14-pin MS-style connector.

Cobramatic Connection Instructions

• Turn the Invertec power switch "off"
• Connect the control cable from the Cobramatic to

the 14-pin MS-style connector.

• Connect the electrode cable to the output terminal

of the polarity required by electrode. Connect the
work lead to the other terminal.

• Set the meter polarity switch on the front of the

Invertec to coincide with wire feeder polarity used.

• If a remote control such as K857 is to be used with

the Cobramatic, the remote can be connected
directly to the 6-pin MS-style connector on the front
of the Invertec or use a K864 adapter to connect
the cobramatic and the remote to the 14-pin MS-
style connector.

LN-23P Connection Instructions

1. Shut the welder off.
2. Connect the LN-23P as per instructions on the

appropriate connection diagram in Section F.
(NOTE): When connecting an LN-23P to the
Invertec.

3. Set the "VOLTMETER" switch to "-".
4. Set the "MODE" switch to "CV WIRE" position.
5. Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to

"REMOTELY CONTROLLED".

6. Set the "ARC CONTROL" knob to "0" initially and

adjust to suit.

General Instructions for Connection of Wire
Feeders to V350-PIPE
Wire feeders other than those listed above may be
used provided that the auxiliary power supply rating
of the V350-PIPE is not exceeded. K867 universal
adapter plug is required. See connection diagram
S24985 on page F-4.

REMOTE CONTROL OF INVERTEC
Remote Control K857, Hand Amptrol K963 and Foot
Amptrol K870.

UNDERCARRIAGE MOUNTINGS

PARALLEL OPERATION

The V350-PIPE are operable in parallel in CC mode.
For best results, the currents of each machine should
be reasonably well shared. As an example, with two
machines set up in parallel for a 400 amp procedure,
each machine should be set to deliver approximately
200 amps, not 300 amps from one and 100 amps
from the other. This will minimize nuisance shutdown
conditions. In general, more than two machines in
parallel will not be effective due to the voltage require-
ments of procedures in that power range.
To set machine outputs, start with output control pots
and arc control pots in identical positions. Use the
output control pots to balance the currents and main-
tain the desired current. The arc control pots should
be kept identical on the two machines.
