INSTALLATION

POWER FEED™ 10A CONTROLLER

A-4

4. Replace the Switch Panel on the POWER FEED™

10A CONTROLLER with the blank panel included
with the pendant box.

5. Connect the Switch Panel to the mating 10-pin con-

nector inside the pendant box.

6. Fasten the Switch Panel to the pendant box.

7. Connect the 14-pin/9-pin pendant cable to the mat-

ing cable connector on the bottom of the POWER
FEED™ 10A CONTROLLER and the mating cable
connector on the pendant.

8. The remote pendant is now ready to be used.

Interfacing to the Switch Panel Controls:

The Switch Panel circuits can be accessed on the
screwless terminal strip. Easy access to these circuits
enables the POWER FEED™ 10A CONTROLLER to
interface with custom controls or PLC’s. These circuits
must see a contact closure to function properly.

1. Remove all input power to the POWER FEED™

10A CONTROLLER including any auxiliary power
supplies.

2. Remove the fasteners from the Switch Panel and

disconnect the Switch Panel from the wire harness.
The Switch Panel should be stored in a secure

place in the event that it is needed in the future.

The Switch Panel should not be left in the POWER
FEED™ 10A CONTROLLER if the switches are not
connected. This could cause a safety concern
due to the fact that the switches will not stop the
welding sequence, etc.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Jumper the wire harness connector (J2) to the mat-

ing 10-pin connector (P2P) that is floating inside the
control box (See Wiring Diagram).

4. Replace the Switch Panel on the POWER FEED™

10A CONTROLLER with the blank panel included
with the pendant box.

5. Remove the wire duct cover to gain access to the

leads on the right side of the terminal strip.

6. Remove the leads going to the Pendant 14-pin con-

nector from the right side of terminal strip blocks
#39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45, #46, & #47.
(Note – see Auxiliary Input Power Connection
Instructions on how to remove/install wires to the
screwless terminal strip)

7. Remove one of the plug buttons located on the bot-

tom of the POWER FEED™ 10A CONTROLLER
control box and install some type of strain relief for
the interfacing leads.

8. Connect the interfacing leads to the Switch Panel

circuits on the terminal strip (see Wiring Diagram for
terminal strip designations). The supply for START,
STOP, and INCH UP comes from SWITCH GROUP
#1 SUPPLY on block #39. The supply for TRAVEL
AUTO, TRAVEL ON, FLUX FILL, and INCH DOWN
comes from SWITCH GROUP #2 SUPPLY on
block #43.

9. To activate any of the Switch Panel circuits, a con-

tact closure must be established between the sup-
ply and the particular circuit it is referenced to – for
instance, to start the weld sequence, a contact clo-
sure must be established momentarily between ter-
minal strip blocks #39 (SUPPLY) and #40 (START).
See FIGURE A.2.

10. The leads from the 14-pin connector that were

removed from the terminal strip can be taped and
secured in the wire duct located next to the termi-
nal strip.
