Lincoln Electric IM10134 COOL ARC 55 S WATER COOLER - Manual (Page 10)

COOLANT "IN" AND "OUT" CONNECTIONS
The fittings located on the COOL ARC ® 55 S are two
female Quick Disconnect fittings. These mate with
water hoses typically used in the welding industry.
Two couplers converting from quick disconnect to 5/8-
18 left-hand thread (CGA style) are also included.
Refer to Figure A.2.
Water or Coolant Line Connections
to the COOL ARC
® 55 S
Take the male quick disconnect of the water hose and
check if it matches the coupler or the quick disconnect
on the front of the unit. When using water hoses with
threaded nuts use the supplied couplers to convert
from 5/8-18 left hand male thread to male quick dis-
connect.
(Reference FIG. A.2) Take the accessory "INLET"
hose (colored or tagged blue on most hoses) and plug
it into the coolant "OUT" fitting located on the front of
the cooler. If necessary use the supplied coupler,
making sure to secure the connector nut of the hose
tightly into the fitting with a wrench so that leaking
does not occur. Then take the accessory "OUTLET"
hose (colored or tagged red on most hoses) and plug
it into the coolant "IN" fitting located on the front of the
cooler. Again, if necessary use the coupler, tightly
securing the connector nut of the hose into the fitting
with a wrench to ensure that no leaking occurs.
NOTE: BE CERTAIN THAT NO LEAKS EXIST
WHEN THE COOLER IS TURNED ON. A LEAK
WILL DEPLETE RESERVOIR VOLUME, CAUSING
POOR COOLING PERFORMANCE AND REDUCING
GUN OR TORCH LIFE.

INPUT POWER CONNECTION
Plug the input power cord on the COOL ARC ® 55 S
into a standard 115V NEMA circuit breaker protected
receptacle. The receptacle must have overload pro-
tection and a grounding conductor pin.
ArcLink ® CONNECTIONS
The pigtail connection on the COOL ARC ® 55 S
includes signal and power lines required for proper
operation. With the COOL ARC
® 55 S securely fas-
tened to the power source, connect the pigtail to its
respective 5 pin receptacle on the back of the power
source. The Arclink receptacle on the back of the
COOL ARC
® 55 S should be used for connection to
compatible wire feeders. Best results will be obtained
when control cables are routed separately from the
welding cables. It is recommended that the total com-
bined length of the Arclink control cable network does
not exceed 200 ft. (61m).
