Lincoln Electric POWER FEED IM916 - Manual (Page 17)

A-9 INSTALLATION
POWER FEED™ 10M DUAL WIRE FEEDER
A-9
Flow Sensor Kit installation is as follows:
1. Remove rear access door of the wire feeder case.
2. Locate the shutdown circuit leads inside feeder
case cavity (refer to table A.4).
Note: The leads will be connected together with
insulated (pink) quick disconnects.
3. Disconnect pink quick-connect tabs (.25 inch tab
terminals).
4. Locate and remove plastic plug on rear of wire
feeder case.
5. Insert Flow Sensor leads through hole.
6. Connect Flow Sensor leads with shutdown circuit
leads.
7. Replace rear access door.

WIRE SPINDLE PLACEMENT
The reel stand provides two mounting locations for the
2 inch diameter wire reel spindle to accommodate var-
ious reel sizes. Each mounting location consists of a
tube in the center of the reel stand, and locating slots
on the outside of the reel stand. The bolt, used with a
plain washer and lock washer, slides through the tube
from the side of the reel stand. The bolt should be
threaded into the wire spindle such that the tabs on
the brake mechanism align with the locating slots,
then tighten.
The upper location must be used for 50-60 lb. Readi-
Reels, Spools and Coils.
For smaller coils (44lb, 30lb, 10lb, etc.), the spindle
can be placed in either the upper or lower location.
The goal is to make the wire path from the coil to the
wire drive an entry into the incoming guide tube that is
as straight as possible. This will optimize wire feeding
performance.
WATER CONNECTIONS (FOR
WATER COOLED GUNS)
If a water cooled gun is to be installed for use with the
Power Feed™ 10 Dual, a K590-6 Water connection kit
can be installed for each gun requiring water cooling.
Contained in the kit are the water lines and quick con-
nect water line fittings that install in the wire feed
head. Follow the installation instructions included in
the kit. Water cooled guns can be damaged very
quickly if they are used even momentarily without
water flowing. To protect the gun, we recommended
that a water flow sense kit be installed. This will pre-
vent wire feeding if no water flow is present.
WIRE FEED SHUT DOWN CIRCUIT
(OPTIONAL)
This option is intended as a means of disabling weld-
ing in the event that the water flow (for a water cooled
gun) is not present. Water cooled guns can be quickly
damaged if they are momentarily used without water
flow. This matter can be avoided when a Lincoln Flow
Sensor Kit (K1536-1) is applied to the wire feeder
shutdown circuit.
The Flow Sensor Kit has two control leads that
become electrically common when the water is flow-
ing. When integrated with the wire feeder shut down
circuit, it forms a closed (common) circuit and enables
welding. In the event that water is not flowing, the
Flow Sensor circuit (shut down circuit) is electrically
opened which disables any further operation.
