ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Turn the input power OFF at the

welding power source before
installation or changing drive
rolls and/or guides.

• Do not touch electrically live

parts.

• When inching with the gun trigger, electrode

and drive mechanism are "hot" to work and
ground and could remain energized several
seconds after the gun trigger is released.

• Do not operate with covers, panels or guards

removed or open.

• Only qualified personnel should perform main-

tenance work.

WARNING

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

• Check weld cables, control cables and gas hoses

for cuts.

• Clean and tighten all weld terminals.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

• Clean drive rolls and inner wire guide and replace if

worn.

• Blow out or vacuum the inside of the feeder.

CALIbRATION SPECIFICATION

Voltmeter Validation, Across the Arc Analog Meter
Models

Tools required:

• DC voltmeter reference standard
• Constant voltage DC welding power source with

adjustable no-load voltage (DC-400, V-350, CV-400
or equivalent).

To verify the analog voltmeter accuracy:

1. Turn power OFF.

2. Connect the LN-25™ PRO to the constant voltage

DC welding power source. The work lead of the
LN-25™ PRO must be connected to the work ter-
minal of the power source.

3. Connect the reference voltmeter between the

brass block of the LN-25™ PRO and the work
lead.

4. Turn power ON.

5. Energize the output circuit of the power source.

Adjust the power source output to 20±1 VDC as
measured on the reference meter.

6. Verify that LN-25™ PRO voltmeter reads between

19 and 21 volts.

If the voltmeter reading is out of range, check for
loose connections or replace the voltmeter. There is
no calibration adjustment for the LN-25™ PRO volt-
meter.

Flow Meter Validation

Tools required:

• Flow meter reference standard.
• Constant voltage DC welding power source (DC-

400, V-350, CV-400 or equivalent).

To verify the flow meter accuracy:

1. Turn power OFF.

2. Connect the LN-25™ PRO to the constant voltage

DC welding power source. The work lead of the
LN-25™ PRO must be connected to the work ter-
minal of the power source.

3. Connect a supply of CO2 to the wire feeder. Do

not exceed the maximum inlet pressure of the wire
feeder.

4. Disconnect the shielding gas hose that connects to

the gun bushing.

5. Connect the shielding gas hose to flow meter refer-

ence standard.

6. Orient the LN-25™ PRO in a vertical position.

7. Turn power ON.

8. Adjust the flow meter on the LN-25™ PRO to 40

scfh while pressing the GAS PURGE button.

9. Measure the gas flow with the calibrated flow

meter while pressing the GAS PURGE button.

10. The measured flow rate should be between 35

and 45 scfh.
