A-6 INSTALLATION
RANGER 9
A-6
Connection of K428 or K446 LN-25 with
K624-1 42 volt Remote Output Control
Module to the Ranger 9
Requires K626-xx Control Cable. Provides “ cold “ elec-
trode until gun trigger is pressed and also provides volt-
age control at the feeder. The K446 LN-25 includes a
gas solenoid. See the appropriate connection diagram
in rear of this manual.
• Shut the welder off.
• Connect the electrode cable from the LN-25 to the
“ELECTRODE” stud of the welder. Connect the
work cable to the “TO WORK” stud of the welder.
• Connect the control cable from the LN-25 to the
14 pin amphenol on the Ranger 9.
• Attach the single lead from the front of the LN-25 to
the work using the spring clip on the end of the lead
This is a control lead to supply the current to the
wire feeder motor; it does not carry welding current.
• Set the “POLARITY” switch to either WIRE FEED
DC+ or WIRE FEED DC- as required by the elec-
trode being used.
• Set the “RANGE” switch to either HIGH,MED or
LOW as required by the process.
• Set the “WELDING TERMINALS” Control switch to
the “REMOTELY CONTROLLED” position.
• Place the idler switch in the “AUTO” position.
Connection of the K449 LN-25 to the
Ranger 9.
• Shut off the welder.
• Connect the electrode cable from the LN-25 to the
“ELECTRODE” stud of the welder. Connect the work
cable to the “TO WORK” stud of the welder.
• Attach the single lead from the front of the LN-25 to
work using the spring clip on the end of the lead.
This is a control lead to supply the current to the
wire feed motor; it does not carry welding current.
• Set the “POLARITY” switch to either WIRE FEED
DC+ or WIRE FEED DC - as required by the
electrode being used.
• Set the “RANGE” switch to either HIGH, MED or
LOW as required by the process.
• Set the “WELDING TERMINAL” Control switch to
the “ALWAYS ON” position.
• Set the “IDLER” switch to the “AUTO” position.
Connection of the Magnum Spool Gun
and SG Control Module to the Ranger 9
• Shut off the welder.
• Connect per the instructions on the appropriate con-
nection diagram in the rear of this manual.
• Set the output control toggle switch to ‘CONTROL
AT WELDER” when not using remote control.
• Set “POLARITY” switch to either WIRE FEED DC+.
* Set the ‘RANGE” switch to either HIGH, MED or
LOW as required by the process.
• Set the ‘WELDING TERMINALS” Control switch to
the ‘REMOTELY CONTROLLED” position.
• Set the ‘IDLER” switch to the ‘HIGH” idle position.
Connection of Spool Gun to LN-25 with
contactor, soleniod K449 .
High Frequency Generator for TIG weld-
ing applications
The K930-1 TIG Module is an accessory that provides
high frequency and shielding gas control for AC and
DC GTAW (TIG) welding. See IM528 supplied with
the TIG Module for installations instructions.
Note: The TIG Module does not require the use of a
high frequency bypass capacitor. If any other high fre-
quency accessary is used with the Ranger 9, a
bypass capacitor (Order Kit T12246) must be installed
in the Ranger 9.
REMOTE OUTPUT CONTROL
The Ranger 9 has a 6-pin and a 14-pin connector.
These connectors are located above the output studs.
The 6-pin connector is intended to be used with the
optional K857 Remote Output Control or in the case of
TIG welding applications, with the Foot or Hand
Amptrol. The 14-pin connector is used to connect a
wire feeder control cable. If the wire feeder has a built-
in power source output control, do not connect a
remote output control to the 6-pin connector. When
remote output control is used, the output control tog-
gle switch is to be set at “CONTROL REMOTE”.
