CALIBRATION SPECIFICATION
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 RED-D-ARC LN25™ PRO EXTREME
DUAL POWER to the constant voltage DC welding
power source. The work lead of the RED-D-ARC
LN25™ PRO EXTREME DUAL POWER must be
connected to the work terminal of the power
source.
3. Connect a supply of CO
2
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 RED-D-ARC LN25™ PRO EXTREME
DUAL POWER in a vertical position.
7. Turn power ON.
8. Adjust the flow meter on the RED-D-ARC LN25™
PRO EXTREME DUAL POWER 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.
The calibration on the RED-D-ARC LN25™ PRO
EXTREME DUAL POWER flow meter is not
adjustable. If the flow meter reads incorrectly, check
for leaks or kinks in the gas hose. Replace the flow
meter if necessary.
