CONNECTION OF LINCOLN ELECTRIC
WIRE FEEDERS

Connection of LN-15 to the DX500e (CE)

1. Shut the welder off.

2. For electrode Positive, connect the electrode

cable to the "+" terminal of the welder and work
cable to the "-" terminal of the welder. For elec-
trode Negative, connect the electrode cable to the
"-" terminal of the welder and work cable to the "+"
terminal of the welder.

3. Across The-Arc Model:

• Attach the single lead from the front of the LN-15

to work using the spring clip at the end of the
lead. This is a control lead to supply current to
the wire feeder motor; it does not carry welding
current.

• Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to "WELD

TERMINALS ON".

• When the gun trigger is closed, the current sens-

ing circuit will cause the DX500e (CE) engine to
go to the high idle speed, the wire will begin to
feed and the welding process started. When
welding is stopped, the engine will revert to low
idle speed after approximately 12 seconds
unless welding is resumed.

4. Control Cable Model:

• Connect Control Cable between Engine Welder

and Feeder.

• Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to

"REMOTELY CONTROLLED"

5. Set the MODE switch to the "CV-WIRE " position.

6. Set the "WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER" switch to

either "+" or "-" as required by the electrode polari-
ty being used.

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

adjust to suit.

8. Set the "IDLE" switch to the "AUTO" position.

9. When the gun trigger is closed, the current sens-

ing circuit will cause the DX500e (CE) engine to
go to the high idle speed, the wire will begin to
feed and the welding process started. When weld-
ing is stopped, the engine will revert to low idle
speed after approximately 12 seconds unless
welding is resumed.

INSTALLATION

DX500e (CE) (RED-D-ARC)

A-7

AUXILIARY POWER

The auxiliary power capacity is 16,500 watts Peak,
14,500 Watts Continuous of 50 Hz, three phase
power. The auxiliary power capacity rating in watts is
equivalent to volt-amperes at unity power factor. The
max permissible current of the 400 VAC output is 22
amps. Output voltage is within ± 10% at all loads up
to the rated capacity.

Single phase power is:
• 3,400 Watts Peak / 3,400 Watts Continuous, 50 Hz

230 Volts 1-Phase.

• 3,400 Watts Peak / 3,400 Watts Continuous, 50 Hz

115 Volts 1-Phase.

STANDBY POWER CONNECTIONS

The machine is suitable for temporary, standby or
emergency power using the engine manufacturerʼs
recommended maintenance schedule.

The machine can be permanently installed as a
standby power unit for 400 VAC, three phase, 21
amp service.

Connections must be made by a licensed electrician
who can determine how the power can be adapted to
the particular installation and comply with all applica-
ble electrical codes.

• Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to

the capacity of the DX500e (CE).

• Only a licensed, certified, trained electrician

should install the machine to a premises or resi-
dential electrical system. Be certain that:

• The installation complies with the National

Electrical Code and all other applicable electri-
cal codes.

• The premises is isolated and no feedback into

the utility system can occur. Certain laws
require the premises to be isolated before the
generator is linked to the premises. Check your
local requirements.
