4.1. SYNCHRONIZING UNIT SYNC 400
By means of Sync 400 you can connect the push-pull gun to the Feed 420R wire feeding control
unit. Push-pull gun is most commonly used for feeding of aluminium wires. Push-pull gun
enables extending the working radius up to 10 m. Sync 400 is mounted into electronics case of
Feed 420R. Mounting of Sync 400 is described in the mounting instructions delivered with the

4.2. GAS GUARD GG 400
With gas guard accessory you can prevent weld defects due to lacking or wrong fl ow of
shielding gas. Functions of gas guard are as follows:
– Prevention of welding if the gas pressure is not suffi cent on the wire feeder unit.
– Stopping of welding if shielding gas pressure disappears during welding.
– When gas guard has prevented welding, error message E.12 appears on welding panel
displays.
– Shielding gas fl ow meter / regulator. Regulation range 5-25 l/min. Display is calibrated for
shielding gas Ar CO
