GENERAL DESCRIPTION
General Physical Description
The Red-D-Arc LN-25™ PRO DUAL POWER is spe-
cially engineered to be the most rugged portable wire
feeder available.
The plastic case is molded from a high impact, flame
retardant plastic for durability and low weight. The
patent pending design keeps the internal components
protected and dry.
The heart of the Red-D-Arc LN-25™ PRO DUAL
POWER is the 2 roll MAXTRAC™ drive. The patent-
ed features on the wire drive offer tool-less changing
of the drive rolls and wire guides for quick spool
changes. A tachometer controlled motor powers the
patent pending drive rolls for smooth, steady feeding
without slippage.
General Functional Description
The Red-D-Arc LN-25™ PRO DUAL POWER as
designed is a simple, robust feeder. Standard features
include a calibrated wire feed speed dial, 2 step/trig-
ger interlock switch, CV-CC switch, Gas Purge and
Cold Feed.
The Dual Power LN-25 PRO has a patent pending electron-
ic circuit to allow easy transition from Across the Arc opera-
tion to Control Cable operation. Simply connect the work clip
and the electrode lead for Across the Arc welding.
Whenever a control cable is connected, the feeder switches
to Control Cable operation.
To improve contactor life, the contactor is always closed
when operating as a control cable feeder.
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES
• GMAW
• FCAW
PROCESS LIMITATIONS
• GMAW-P procedures must be qualified by the cus-
tomer.
• Across-the-Arc models are not recommended for
stitch or spot welding.
