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 AA.4).
Note: The leads will be connected together with
insulated (pink) quick disconnects.
3. Disconnect pink quick-connect tabs (.25 inch tab ter-
minals).
4. Locate and remove plastic plug on rear of wire feed-
er case.
5. Insert Flow Sensor leads through hole.
6. Connect Flow Sensor leads with shutdown circuit
leads.
7. Replace rear access door.

EXAMPLES OF CONNECTING AN
ARCLINK POWER WAVE SYSTEM
ArcLink Power Wave products may be configured in
many different ways. The flexible system allows multi-
ple wire feeders to be connected to the same power
source. The diagrams represent some of the common
methods for connecting ArcLink Products.
Important: Bench model wire feeders cannot be sepa-
rated into a separate control box and wire drive for a
boom system.
Common ArcLink Systems
The following Power Wave systems may all be assem-
bled without any changes to the equipment DIP switch-
es.
Basic Semi-Automatic System
• Great for general fabrication.

• K2230-1 Power Feed 10M Single Wire Feeder
• K2203-1 Power Wave 455M/STT
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 per-
formance.
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 prevent 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 quick-
ly 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 shut-
down circuit.
The Flow Sensor Kit has two control leads that become
electrically common when the water is flowing. 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.
