RED-D-ARC LN-25™ PRO DUAL POWER (CE)
Wire Feed Speed, CV Operation
When Across the Arc models are operated with CV
power sources, the wire feed speed will remain a con-
stant value, independent of arc voltage changes, as
along as the arc voltage does not drop below the val-
ues per the following table.
Wire Feed Speed, CC Operation
When Across the Arc models are operated with CC
power sources, the wire feed speed changes as the
arc voltage changes. When the arc voltage increases,
the wire feed speed will increase; and when the arc
voltage decreases, the wire feed speed will decrease.
To preset the wire feed speed on CC power sources:
1. Set the Wire Feed Mode switch inside the LN-
25™ Pro to "CC".
2. Refer to the Figure B.1a graph for the setting for
the wire feed speed knob setting. Select the hori-
zontal line representing the Desired Wire Feed
Speed. (See Figure B.1a arrow for 375 in/min.)
3. Select the diagonal line representing the Arc
Volts. (See Figure B.1a for 29 volts.)
4. Determine the vertical line representing the CC
representing the CC Wire Feed Speed setting
where the above two lines cross. (See Figure
B.1a arrow line for 450.) Set the LN-25™ Pro
wire feed speed knob to this value.

= 452.5 (Vertical Line)

FIGURE B.1a
A constant voltage (CV) power
source is recommended for flux-
cored arc welding. (FCAW) and
gas metal arc welding (GMAW) to
obtain code quality results.
However, this wire feeder may also
be used with a constant current
(CC) power source to obtain pass-
able results for noncritical quality
applications.
