LN-15 POWER-UP SEQUENCE

Normal Power-Up Display
When power is first applied to the LN-15, the display
will momentarily show set-up information. For exam-
ple, it may show "CV" and "HI", indicating operation
from a CV power source and the wire drive is config-
ured for the high speed gear. Because of limitations in
the display, "CV" will appear as "CU".

After a brief moment, the LN-15 will then display the
WFS and "---". No voltage is displayed until the trigger
is pressed.

Preflow, Postflow and Burnback Times
Preflow, Postflow and Burnback times are all
adjustable on the LN-15. The LN-15 is factory set with
all the times set to 0.0 seconds.

The burnback time is adjustable from 0.00 to 0.25

seconds.

The preflow time is adjustable from 0.0 to 2.50 sec-

onds.

The postflow time is adjustable from 0.0 to 10.0 sec-

onds.

Changing Preflow, Postflow or Burnback times:

1. Enter the

Press Spin

Set-Up Mode:

While the power to the LN-15 is off, activate and
hold the GAS PURGE switch (Down Position). Turn
on power to the LN-15, and continue to hold the
GAS PURGE switch until the LN-15 displays "Press
spin". Release the GAS PURGE switch.

The LN-15 is now in the "Press Spin" set-up mode. If
after 15 seconds no other action is taken, the LN-15
will then revert to normal operation.

2. Rotate the WFS knob until the desired timer is dis-
played.

right hand side of the display. Example:
4. Rotate the WFS knob to adjust the time to the new

setting.

5. Press the GAS PURGE switch again to save the

setting. The LN-15 will then return to the original
"Press Spin" mode in step 1.

6. To exit the "Press Spin" set-up mode, turn off power

to the LN-15, or simply wait 15 seconds and the
LN-15 will enter normal operation.

Welding Mode CV/CC mode and WFS units
The CV/CC mode and WFS units are all readily
changed during the power-up sequence. The LN-15 is
factory set for "CV" welding power sources and "inch-
es per minute" for the wire feed speed units.

The CV/CC mode is selectable for either CV for

Constant Voltage power sources and CC for
Constant Current power sources. Use CV power
sources whenever possible for best results.

The WFS units is selectable for either in/min and

m/min.

Changing the CV/CC mode, or WFS units:

1. Enter the

Press Spin

Set-Up Mode:

While the power to the LN-15 is off, activate and
hold the GAS PURGE switch (Down Position). Turn
on power to the LN-15, and continue to hold the
GAS PURGE switch until the LN-15 displays "Press
spin". Release the GAS PURGE switch.

The LN-15 is now in the "Press Spin" set-up mode.
If after 15 seconds no other action is taken, the LN-
15 will then revert to normal operation.
