MAKING A WELD

SETUP

a. Connect work cable to metal to be welded. Work

cable must make good electrical contact to the
work. The work must also be grounded as stated
in “Arc Welding Safety Precautions.”

b. Check that the LN-25 is properly connected to

the power source for the polarity and process to
be used, and appropriate power source settings
are made for the procedure to be used. (Refer to
power source operating and connection
instructions.)

NOTE:

If the K431-1 Remote Output Control Kit or

K624-1 42V Remote Control Module is installed but
the LN-25 is to be used

without

the K432 Remote

Control Cable Assembly, then the Remote Board
harness plug must be removed from the 16-pin
receptacle on the Control Board and the jumper plug
(T13498-21) reinstalled.

NOTE:

If the K460-1 Pulse Power Adapter Kit is

installed but the LN-25 is to be used without the K461
Pulse Power Control Cable Assembly, then the
instructions for returning the unit to across the arc
operation included with the Installation Instructions
(L9636) must be followed.

c. Place the LN-25 conveniently near the work area

in a location to minimize exposure to weld spatter
and to avoid sharp bends in the gun cable.

d. Connect the LN-25 Clip Lead to work and set Po-

larity Switch to same polarity as electrode.

e. Set WIRE FEED MODE switch to CV or CC, as

appropriate for the power source, then set the
proper DIAL RANGE and WIRE SPEED dial set-
ting for the proper wire feed speed per the
welding procedure:

For CV:

Set dial to the calibrated IN/MIN

desired. (Refer to Setting Constant Wire Feed
Speed Section.)

For CC:

Set dial to value determined from the

CC Wire Speed Graph for the DESIRED IN/
MIN and ARC VOLTS to be used. (Refer to
Setting Arc Sensing Wire Feed Speed
Section.

NOTE:

If procedure permits a range of acceptable

arc voltage, use the middle of the range to
determine proper WIRE SPEED setting.

f. If using the optional Gas Flow Timer, set the de-

sired PREFLOW TIME and POSTFLOW TIME.
