PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. KEEP CHILDRENAWAY. PACEMAKER WEARERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR DOCTOR BEFORE OPERATING.
Read and understand the following safety highlights. For additional safety information, it is strongly recommended that youpurchase a copy of “Safety in Welding & Cutting - ANSI Standard Z49.1” from the American Welding Society, P.O. Box 351040,Miami, Florida 33135 or CSA Standard W117.2-1974. A Free copy of “Arc Welding Safety” booklet E205 is available from theLincoln Electric Company, 22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199.
BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PER-FORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
ARC RAYS can burn.2.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover
plates to protect your eyes from sparks andthe rays of the arc when welding or observingopen arc welding. Headshield and filter lensshould conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.
2.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistantmaterial to protect your skin and that of your helpers fromthe arc rays.
2.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammablescreening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor exposethemselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.1.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits
are electrically “hot” when the welder is on.Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bareskin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-freegloves to insulate hands.
1.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your fullarea of physical contact with work and ground.
In addition to the normal safety precautions, if weldingmust be performed under electrically hazardousconditions (in damp locations or while wearing wetclothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings orscaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,kneeling or Iying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable oraccidental contact with the workpiece or ground) usethe following equipment:
• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.
1.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomaticwelding gun are also electrically “hot”.
1.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electricalconnection with the metal being welded. The connectionshould be as close as possible to the area being welded.
1.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical(earth) ground.
1.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable andwelding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replacedamaged insulation.
1.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
1.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts ofelectrode holders connected to two welders because voltagebetween the two can be the total of the open circuit voltageof both welders.
1.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protectyourself from a fall should you get a shock.
1.j. Also see Items 4.c. and 6.
WARNING ARC WELDING can be hazardous.
FUMES AND GASEScan be dangerous.3.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing thesefumes and gases. When welding, keepyour head out of the fume. Use enoughventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. Whenwelding with electrodes which require specialventilation such as stainless or hard facing (seeinstructions on container or MSDS) or on lead orcadmium plated steel and other metals or coatingswhich produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure aslow as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. Inconfined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, arespirator may be required. Additional precautions arealso required when welding on galvanized steel.
3.b. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vaporscoming from degreasing, cleaning or sprayingoperations.The heat and rays of the arc can react with sol-vent vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and otherirritating products.
3.c. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air andcause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,especially in confined areas, to ensure breathing air is safe.
3.d. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for thisequipment and the consumables to be used, including thematerial safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow youremployer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available fromyour welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

WELDING SPARKS cancause fire or explosion.4.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area.
If this is not possible, cover them to preventthe welding sparks from starting a fire.Remember that welding sparks and hot
materials from welding can easily go through small cracksand openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding nearhydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
4.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,special precautions should be used to prevent hazardoussituations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSIStandard Z49.1) and the operating information for theequipment being used.
4.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrodecircuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact cancause overheating and create a fire hazard.
4.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until theproper steps have been taken to ensure that such procedureswill not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substancesinside. They can cause an explosion even though they havebeen “cleaned”. For information, purchase “RecommendedSafe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting ofContainers and Piping That Have Held HazardousSubstances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society(see address above).
4.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting orwelding. They may explode.
4.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oilfree protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wearear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in awelding area.
4.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the weldingarea as practical. Work cables connected to the buildingframework or other locations away from the welding areaincrease the possibility of the welding current passingthrough lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits.This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains orcables until they fail.

ELECTRIC AND MAG-NETIC FIELDSmay be dangerous
8.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding machines
8.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, andwelders having a pacemaker should consult their physicianbefore welding.
8.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other healtheffects which are now not known.
8d. All welders should use the following procedures in order tominimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
8.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Securethem with tape when possible.
8.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.
8.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode andwork cables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the work cable should also be on your right side.
8.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close aspossible to the area being welded.
8.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.
FOR ENGINEpowered equipment.
7.a. Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenancework unless the maintenance work requires it to be running.
____________________________________________________
7.b. Operate engines in open, well-ventilatedareas or vent the engine exhaust fumesoutdoors.
____________________________________________________
7.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flamewelding arc or when the engine is run-ning. Stop the engine and allow it to coolbefore refueling to prevent spilled fuelfrom vaporizing on contact with hotengine parts and igniting. Do not spillfuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled,wipe it up and do not start engine untilfumes have been eliminated.
____________________________________________________
7.d. Keep all equipment safety guards, coversand devices in position and in good repair.Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools awayfrom V-belts, gears, fans and all othermoving parts when starting, operating orrepairing equipment.
____________________________________________________
7.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safetyguards to perform required maintenance. Removeguards only when necessary and replace them when themaintenance requiring their removal is complete.Always use the greatest care when working near movingparts.
7.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do notattempt to override the governor or idler by pushing onthe throttle control rods while the engine is running.
7.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines whileturning the engine or welding generator during maintenancework, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap ormagneto wire as appropriate.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉPour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructionset les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans cemanuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suiv-antes:
Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:
a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tensionquand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujourstout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nueou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sanstrous pour isoler les mains.
b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand onsoude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher met-allique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grandepartie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.
c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble desoudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état defonc-tionnement.
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour lerefroidir.
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tensiondes porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à soud-er parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être letotal de la tension à vide des deux machines.
f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source decourant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautionspour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet desoudage.
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protégercontre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamaisenrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partiedu corps.
3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel,donc:
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant appropriéainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-onnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ouquand on regarde l’arc.
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger lapeau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement del‘arc.
c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité ausoudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc desoudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libresde l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone desoudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans leszones où l’on pique le laitier.
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin deprévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.
7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé dela masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer unéchauffement et un risque d’incendie.
8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible dela zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on place lamasse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres endroitséloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque de voirpasser le courant de soudage par les chaines de levage,câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer desrisques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et descâbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.
9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôlesgalvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal quiproduit des fumeés toxiques.
10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenantd’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. Lachaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeursdu solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)ou autres produits irritants.
11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté, voirle code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA StandardW 117.2-1974.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POURLES MACHINES À SOUDER ÀTRANSFORMATEUR ET ÀREDRESSEUR
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code del’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositifde montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à unebonne mise à la terre.
2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seronteffectués par un électricien qualifié.
3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debranch-er à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leurplace.

b. Connect the electrode cable to the outputterminal of polarity required by electrode.Connect work lead to other output terminal.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Unless an optional output control or contactor is usedwith the LN-25, the electrode circuit (including weldingwire, wire drive and welding gun) is electrically hotwhen the welding power source is on. The gun triggercontrols wire feed only.
Disconnect or shut off welding power source beforemaking connections or installations to the LN-25.
Welding gun should be stored in the insulatedgun holder, located near the rear on the top of theLN-25 case, to avoid accidental arcing.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch metal portionsof the LN-25 lead clip whenwelding power source is on.
POWER SOURCE CONNECTION
The LN-25 can be used with any DC welding powersource. A constant voltage power source isrecommended; however, the LN-25 can also be usedwith a constant current power source as long as theopen circuit voltage is less than 110V DC.
Do not use LN-25 models below Code 9200 with anyTIG or Square Wave welding power sources. Do notuse LN-25 models equipped with internal contactorswith non- Lincoln TIG or Square Wave welding powersources. Damage to the LN-25 circuit can occur as aresult of the high output inductance typicallyassociated with these power sources. TIG highfrequency power should never be applied to the LN-25.
If not using an LN-25 Remote Output Control option(See Remote Output Control Options and CableAssemblies Section), the power source output mustbe electrically “hot” at all times when the powersource is turned on.
See the power source instruction manual for properpower source connections and setting required.

LN-25
VOLTMETER
(Factory installed on model Codes above 9218)
The 40V DC analog voltmeter is mounted to the frontcontrol panel of the LN-25 and is connected to readthe arc voltage between the LN-25 electrode cableconnection and the work clip lead.
NOTE:
1. The Voltmeter will read zero if the LN-25 work cliplead is not connected to work, even if the elec -trode is electrically ÒhotÓ to work.
2. The Voltmeter will read below zero if the LN-25polarity switch is not set to the same polarity asthe electrode.
3. The Voltmeter will read power source open circuitvoltage when the gun trigger is open, even if theLN-25 is equipped with the internal contactor .
ÒELECTRODE POLARITYÓ SWITCH
The polarity switch is located on the front panel of theLN-25 case.
Set the switch to the same polarity as the electrodelead connection to the power source. If the switch isnot set for the correct polarity , the wire feeder will notoperate.
WIRE FEED MODE SWITCH
The CV-VV (CC) Wire Feed Mode switch is locatedinside the LN-25 case. The toggle switch extends frombeneath the control box just above the wire drive.
The forward ÒCVÓ position provides constant wire feedspeed mode for use with constant voltage (CV)welding power sources.
The backward ÒVV (CC)Ó position provides arc-sensingwire feed speed mode for use with constant current(formerly variable voltage) welding power sources.
WIRE SPEED DIAL AND RANGE SWITCH
The Wire Speed control dial on the front panel of theLN-25 has two calibrated dial ranges selected by theHI-LO Dial Range switch.
When switched to the LO range position, the constantwire feed speed (CV Wire Feed Mode) is set on theinside (white) dial range calibrated for 50 to350 in/min.
When switched to the HI range position, the constantwire feed speed (CV Wire Feed Mode) is set on theoutside (black) dial range calibrated for 50 to700 in/min.
The volts marks around the HI range calibrated dialindicate the minimum arc volts required to obtain theindicated HI range wire feed speeds. For example; ifwire speed is set to 400 in/min., a welding procedure

arc voltage of at least 17V would be required to obtainthe 400 in/min. wire feed speed.
WORK CLIP LEAD
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: To avoid possibleelectrical shock, do not touch the metal portions ofthe LN-25 work lead clip if the power source output ison. The clip will be electrically “HOT” to work if theinput electrode cable to the LN-25 is electrically “HOT”even if the gun trigger is off and even if an internalcontactor is used. Care should be taken to only handlethe LN-25 work clip by its non-metal insulated portionsand/or the welding power source should be turned offbefore handling the work clip.
The 15 ft work clip lead attached to the front panel ofthe LN-25 case must be connected directly to the workusing the spring clip on the end of the lead.
If not connected, the LN-25 will not operate even if aK431-1 or K624-1 (42V) Remote Output Controloption (refer to Accessories Section) is used.However, the electrode will still be electrically “HOT”when the clip lead is disconnected, if K431-1 or K624-1 (42V) Remote Output Control Option, or InternalContactor (K443-1), is not used.
NOTE: The clip lead also serves as a work sensinglead for the LN-25 Voltmeter. If the clip lead isextended by the user beyond the standard 15 ft.length, the voltmeter reading will be lower than theactual arc volts due to the LN-25 motor control cur-rent flowing through the resistance of the extendedlead. To minimize this voltmeter error, the followingminimum lead size is recommended for the maximumextended lengths shown:
AWG Maximum Length
#14 25 Ft#12 50 Ft#10 100 Ft#6 200 Ft
REMOTE ARC VOLTAGE CONTROL (OPTIONAL)
This rheostat control allows you to control the powersource output arc voltage level. Refer to K444, K444-1and K444-2 Remote Voltage Kits in the Accessoriessection.
GAS FITTING (OPTIONAL)
Provides gas output connection to the welding gun forthe GMAW process. Refer to K430-1 Gas Solenoid Kitin the Accessories Section.
GAS POST PRE-FLOW TIMERS (OPTIONAL)
Allows for variable adjustment of gas pre-flow & post-flow at the start and end of the weld. Refer to K434-1 Gas Flow Timer Kit in Accessories Section.

LOADING WIRE DRIVE
a. Turn the reel or spool until the free end of theelectrode is accessible.
b. While tightly holding the electrode, cut of f the bentend and straighten the first six inches. Cut of f thefirst inch. (If the electrode is not properlystraightened, it may not feed or may not go intothe outgoing guide tube causing a ÒbirdnestÓ.)
c. Insert the free end through the incoming guidetube to the drive roll.
d. Turn on the welding power source.
Unless an optional output control or internal contactoris used with the LN-25, the electrode circuit iselectrically ÒhotÓ when the power source is on.
e. Press the gun trigger and push the electrode untilit just enters the drive roll.
When inching with gun trigger , the electrode and drivemechanism are always ÒhotÓ to work and ground. Usethe ÒcoldÓ inch switch on models with internalcontactor .
f. Inch the electrode through the gun.
g. Adjust the brake tension with the thumbscrew onthe spindle hub until the reel turns freely , but withlittle or no overrun when wire feeding is stopped.Do not overtighten.
Keep gun in LN-25 gun holder when not feeding wireto prevent accidental arcing.
IDLE ROLL PRESSURE SETTING
The idle roll pressure is set at the factory backed outtwo turns from full pressure. This is an approximatesetting. For small wire sizes and aluminum wire, theoptimum idle roll pressure varies with type of wire,surface condition, lubrication and hardness. The op-timum idle roll setting can be determined as follows:
1. Press end of gun against a solid object that iselectrically isolated from the welder output. Pressthe gun trigger for several seconds.
2. If the wire Òbirdnests,Ó jams or breaks at the driveroll, the idle roll pressure is too great. Back thepressure setting out 1Ú2 turn, run new wire throughgun, and repeat above steps.
3. If the only result is drive roll slippage, shut of f thepower source, then loosen the gun cable clamping

PRESETTING WIRE FEED SPEED
The LN-25 permits accurate presetting of the desiredwire feed speed, before welding, in both CV and CCwire feed modes.
SETTING CONSTANT WIRE FEED SPEED (CVMODE)
a. Set Wire Feed Mode switch to CV position.
b. Set Dial Range switch to LO position for wire feedspeeds up to 350 in/min., or HI position for wirefeed speeds over 350 in/min.
c. Set Wire Feed dial to the desired wire feed speedon the selected calibrated dial range.
The wire speed will remain constant at the value set,independent of arc voltage changes, as long as thearc voltage does not drop below the value per thechart below for the max. wire feed speed shown:
Maximum Speed Minimum Arc Volts
350 IPM 15V400 IPM 17V500 IPM 21V600 IPM 24V700 IPM 27V
SETTING ARC SENSING WIRE FEED SPEED(CC MODE)
When using a constant current (formerly variablevoltage) power source, welding performance is im -proved using arc sensing wire feed speed (CC [VV]mode). In this wire feed mode the wire speedincreases if arc voltage increases, and decreases ifarc voltage decreases, but remains constant at anyspecific voltage level.
The LN-25 permits accurate CC mode presetting ofthe desired wire feed speed, for the desired arcvoltage to be used, by setting the Wire Speed dial inthe following manner before welding:
a. Set Wire Feed Mode switch to CC position.
b. Referring to the graph located above the Modeswitch (also shown in Figure B.3):
1. Select the horizontal line representing the DE-SIRED IN/MIN. for the welding procedure. (Seeexample arrow line for 375 in/min.)
2. Select the diagonal line representing the ARCVOLTS to be used for the welding procedure.(See example arrow line for 29 volts.)
3. Determine the vertical line representing the CCWIRE SPEED SETTING where the above twolines cross. (See example arrow line for 450.)
c. Set the Wire Speed dial to the value determinedin Step (3) above (450 for example used). Use HIDial Range if value to be set is over 350.
The wire will feed at the DESIRED IN/MIN speedwhen the welding power source is set to the arcvoltage to be used for the weld procedure (375 in/min.at 29V for example used).
A chart representation of the CC wire speed settinggraph is shown in Figure B.4, giving the Wire Speeddial setting required for the DESIRED IN/MIN and ARCVOLTS used for the welding procedures:

OPEN ARC WELDING WITH ACONSTANT CURRENT (formerlyvariable voltage) POWERSOURCE
Although a constant voltage (CV) power sourceis recommended for Innershield® and gas metalarc (GMAW) open arc welding, satisfactory generalpurpose welding may be obtained using theLN-25 with a constant current (CC) power sourcefor noncr i t ical commercial qual i ty mi ld steelwelding applications.
PROCEDURE AT END OF COIL
When the wire on the reel is used up, the followingprocedure is to be followed for removing the old wirefrom the gun cable and loading a new reel.
a. Shut off power source if a Remote Output ControlOption or internal contactor is not used.
b. Cut the end of the electrode off at the gun end.Do not break it off by hand since this puts a slightbend in the wire and makes it diff icult orimpossible to pull it back through the nozzle.
c. Uncoup le t he gun conduc to r cab le f r omthe LN-25.
d. Lay the cable out straight.
e. Using pliers to grip the wire, pull it out of thecable from the connector end. Do not pull it fromthe gun end.
f. Put the conductor cable back on wire drive unitafter the electrode has been removed.
g. Load a new coil of wire and feed it through thecable as described in Loading Electrode Section.
c. Lower welding helmet, close gun trigger, andbegin welding. Hold the gun so the contact tip towork distance gives the correct electrical stickoutas required for the procedure being used.
NOTE: If the arc voltage is not within the properprocedure range adjust the power source outputcontrol. (The CC mode WIRE SPEED setting shouldnot be changed from the preset procedure value forthe proper arc voltage.)
d. To stop welding, release the gun trigger andthen pull the gun away from the work. Store thegun in the LN-25 insulated gun holder whennot welding.

OPERATION B-10B-10
LN-25
Do not use LN-25 models below Code 9200 with anyTIG or Square Wave welding power sources. Do notuse LN-25 models equipped with internal contactorswith non-Lincoln TIG or Square Wave welding powersources. Damage to the LN-25 circuit can occur asa result of the high output inductance typicallyassociated with these power sources. TIG highfrequency power should never be applied to theLN-25.
While welding with a continuously fed electrode, weldcurrent variations are continuously taking place. Thereare many causes for these variations, butpredominantly they occur due to changes in electricalstickout (operator hand movements, nozzle tip contactvariations, etc.) and the dynamic metal transfercharacteristics of the process or procedure beingused (short arc, globular transfer, etc.).
When using a CV power source, these currentvariations have essentially no effect on the weldingarc stability since CV power sources can provide awide range of weld current levels with virtually nochange in average arc voltage. These “flat slope” CVpower sources, therefore, provide the arc powerrequired to produce the best welding characteristicsand ease of operation for most open arc, constantwire feed speed, welding processes.
CC (formerly VV) power sources, on the other hand,permit the arc voltage to decrease with increases inwelding current. The output characteristics of thesepower sources can range from a “drooping slope,”which provide minor arc voltage changes with weldcurrent variations, to “steep slope” which providebroad voltage changes with only minor currentvariations. The steeper the slope the more difficult itbecomes to maintain arc voltage stability with aconstant wire speed open arc process.
To aid in stabilizing the arc voltage when welding onCC power sources the LN-25 is provided with a CCwire feed mode. This arc voltage sensing feed modedecreases (or increases) the wire speed when the arcvoltage decreases (or increases). However, if theelectrode shorts to the work, the arc voltage willessentially drop to zero and the short circuit currentsupplied by the CC power source may not provideenough power to re-establish the arc (especially withsteeper slope machines). Under this condition theLN-25 feeder will stop, as if the trigger was released,and not restart until the short has been opened.
Arc shorting is more difficult to avoid when usinga CC power source, and requires a more refinedoperator technique than when using a CV powersource. Improved performance can be obtainedon CC power source appl icat ions wi th in thefollowing guidelines:
1. Flatter slope power sources with higher arc force(short circuit current) will improve performanceover steep slope machines. The steeper theslope, the more crit ical i t is to hold properelectrode stickout to maintain arc stabil i ty.Welding techniques, such as weaving, will bemore difficult to control. Use the highest outputcurrent tap or setting capable of providing thevoltage adjustment required for the procedure.
2. Use spray or non-shorting small ball type transferprocesses at higher procedure voltage levels.Generally, open arc processes with procedurevoltage levels over 22 volts perform satisfactorily.Arc stability at procedure voltage levels below 22volts may be more difficult to control, with thegeneral exception of fine (.023–.035) solid steelelectrodes with Argon-rich shielding gas or NR-152and NR-211 Innershield.
CAUTION
AUTOMATIC PROTECTIONSHUTDOWN
The LN-25 control provides automatic electronicprotection circuits which shut down the LN-25 forexcessively high power source open circuit voltage orexcessive motor overload.
OVERVOLTAGE SHUTDOWN
If the power source open circuit voltage exceeds about110-120 volts, the LN-25 will not operate until thepower source voltage drops below about 102-110volts.
MOTOR OVERLOAD SHUTDOWN
If excessive motor overload occurs (due to prolongedexcessive feeding force, jammed drive rolls or shortedmotor leads), the LN-25 will shut down within a fewseconds after the overload occurs.
The shutdown will reset automatically when the guntrigger is released, but will reoccur if the overloadsituation is not remedied.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
DRIVE ROLLS AND GUIDE TUBES
After feeding every coil of wire, inspect the drive rollsection. Clean it as necessary. Do not use a solventfor cleaning the idle roll because it may wash the lu-bricant out of the bearing. The drive roll, idle roll andguide tubes are stamped with the wire sizes they willfeed. If a wire size other than that stamped on the rollsis to be used, the rolls and guide tubes must bechanged.
The drive rolls for .045 and .052 cored electrode and1⁄16, .068 and 5⁄64 electrode have a double set of teethso they can be reversed for additional life. Betweenthe two knurled rolls (except 1⁄16 and smaller rolls) is ashim washer which limits the damage to the electrodeif wire feeding problems occur. Drive rolls for .023through .052 solid electrode have no teeth.
See Wire Feed Drive Roll and Guide Tube Kits Sec-tion for roll changing instructions.

The module is properly mounted to the gearboxas shipped from the factory. If the device is everremoved or replaced, proper mounting technique is asfollows:
1. Be sure all power to the LN-25 is shut off at thepower source.
2. Check that the module mounting plate is screwedsecurely to the side of the gearbox. Refer to DriveMotor and Gearbox Replacement and Accessto Hall Effect Module procedure in theTroubleshooting and Repair Section.
3. Gently screw the module into the mounting plateuntil it just touches and stops against the rotatingpart inside the gearbox.
4. Back the module out 1⁄2 turn, then snug the modulelocknut without rotating the module position. Donot overtighten locknut.
CALIBRATION OF LN-25 WIRESPEED DIAL
Calibration of the LN-25 Wire Speed dial is achievedby proper mounting of the dial knob to the speedpotentiometer shaft. Whenever the knob is removed,the dial is recalibrated as follows:
NOTE: Knob set screw does not seat on shaft flat.
1. Be sure the Wire Speed potentiometer mountingnut is securely t ightened, then rotate thepotentiometer shaft so its flat faces about to the100 mark on the LO range calibrated dial.
2. Set DIAL RANGE switch to LO and WIRE FEEDMODE switch to CV position.
3. Press gun trigger to feed wire and measurethe wire feed speed (IN/MIN) using a PortableDigital Wire Feed Speed Meter (Lincoln K283).Take at least two readings to assure repeat-able accuracy.
Feed Speed Meter (Lincoln K283). Take at leasttwo readings to assure repeatable accuracy.
Electrode will be electrically “hot”. Do not allow fedwire to contact any metal common with welding work.
An alternate means to measure wire feed speedis as follows:
a. Cut wire off at the end of the gun tip.
b. Press trigger to feed wire for exactly 30 seconds.
c. Cut fed wire off at the end of the gun tip andaccurately measure its length.
d. Multiply the measured length by 2 to obtainthe wire speed (IN/MIN).
e. Repeat above steps to assure repeatableaccuracy.
4. Carefully slip speed knob onto potentiometershaft so it points precisely to the wire speedmeasured in step 3, then secure the knob setscrew without disturbing the position. Recheck byrepeating step 3.

CONTROL CIRCUITOPERATION
INPUT POWER CIRCUIT
The DC arc voltage from the power source isapplied to the LN-25 through the electrode cableand work sensing lead. This DC voltage isconnected to the polarity switch, which allowsthe wire feeder to be used in either electrodepositive or electrode negative polarity. Thevoltage is then coupled to the voltmeter andcontrol board. A wire feed mode switch isincluded to give the user the capability of usinga constant voltage or, in some processes, aconstant current power source. See Figure E.1.
WELDING CURRENT CIRCUIT
The electrode voltage is also applied to theconductor block through a heavy currentcarrying cable. The welding gun cable isconnected to the conductor block. Thiscombination of welding cable, optional contactor,conductor block and gun cable constitute thewelding current path to the electrode wire. SeeFigure E.1.
NOTE
THEORY OF OPERATION E-3E-3
LN-25
FEEDBACK AND CONTROLCIRCUITS
The combination of the range switch and wirespeed control provides a command voltage forthe control board. The hall ef fect moduletransforms the motor RPM to a digital voltagefrequency that is Òfed backÓ to the control board.When operating in the constant voltage (CV)mode, the control board monitors the ÒfeedbacksignalÓ, compares it to the command voltage anddelivers the appropriate armature voltage to thewire feed motor . In this manner , a constant wirefeed speed is maintained. See Figure E.2. Whenthe LN-25 is connected to a constant current(CC) power source, a variable wire feed speed
is desirable to compensate for the varying arcvoltages associated with the constant currentprocess. To accomplish this, the control boardmonitors the command voltage, the feedbacksignal from the hall ef fect module and the arcvoltage. These three factors are monitored andcompared, and then the appropriate armaturevoltage is applied to the wire feed motor .
TRIGGER CIRCUIT
When the gun trigger is closed, the control boardis ÒsignaledÓ to apply armature voltage to thedrive motor and to activate any auxiliary circuitsthat may be incorporated within the LN-25. SeeFigure E.2.

OPTIONAL CIRCUITS
CONTACTOR
The contactor , contactor PC board, and coldinch switch are commonly incorporated in theLN-25. This feature enables the user to have anelectrically ÒCOLDÓ gun even though the powersources output terminals are electrically ÒHOTÓ.Upon receiving a command from the controlboard, the contactor PC board sends a currentsignal to activate the contactor . The signalcloses the welding current path from the cableto the conductor block, making the gunelectrically ÒHOTÓ. The cold inch switch allows
the user to feed wire without closing thecontactor . In this manner , the electrode wire canbe fed through the gun with the gun tipelectrically ÒCOLDÓ. See Figure E.3.
GAS SOLENOID
The gas solenoid feature permits the LN-25 tobe used for gas metal arc welding (GMA W)processes. When the gun trigger circuit isactivated, the control board signals the solenoidPC board to activate the gas solenoid, whichallows shielding gas to flow through the gun tothe arc.

Sometimes machine failures appear to be dueto PC board failures. These problems cansometimes be traced to poor electrical con-nections. To avoid problems when trou-bleshooting and replacing PC boards, pleaseuse the following procedure:
1. Determine to the best of your technicalability that the PC board is the mostlikely component causing the failuresymptom.
2. Check for loose connections at the PCboard to assure that the PC board isproperly connected.
3. If the problem persists, replace thesuspect PC board using standardpractices to avoid static electricaldamage and electrical shock. Read thewarning inside the static resistant bagand perform the following procedures:
PC board can bedamaged by staticelectricity.
- Remove your body’sstatic charge beforeopening the static-shielding bag. Wear ananti-static wrist strap. Forsafety, use a 1 Meg ohmresistive cord connectedto a grounded part of theequipment frame.
- If you don’t have a wriststrap, touch an un-
painted, grounded, part of the equipmentframe. Keep touching the frame to preventstatic build-up. Be sure not to touch anyelectrically live parts at the same time.
ELECTRIC SHOCKcan kill.
• Have an electricianinstall and service thisequipment. Turn the inputpower OFF at the
- Tools which come in contact with the PCboard must be either conductive, anti-static orstatic-dissipative.
- Remove the PC board from the static-shield-ing bag and place it directly into the equip-ment. Don’t set the PC board on or near paper,plastic or cloth which could have a staticcharge. If the PC board can’t be installedimmediately, put it back in the static-shieldingbag.
- If the PC board uses protective shortingjumpers, don’t remove them until installation iscomplete.
- If you return a PC board to The LincolnElectric Company for credit, it must be in thestatic-shielding bag. This will prevent furtherdamage and allow proper failure analysis.
4. Test the machine to determine if thefailure symptom has been corrected bythe replacement PC board.
NOTE: It is desirable to have a spare(known good) PC board available for PCboard troubleshooting.
NOTE: Allow the machine to heat up so thatall electrical components can reach theiroperating temperature.
5. Remove the replacement PC board andsubstitute it with the original PC boardto recreate the original problem.
a. If the original problem does notreappear by substituting the originalboard, then the PC board was notthe problem. Continue to look forbad connections in the control wiringharness, junction blocks, andterminal strips.
b. If the original problem is recreated bythe substitution of the original board,then the PC board was the problem.Reinstall the replacement PC boardand test the machine.
6. Always indicate that this procedure wasfollowed when warranty reports are tobe submitted.
NOTE: Following this procedure and writingon the warranty report, “INSTALLED ANDSWITCHED PC BOARDS TO VERIFY PROB-LEM,” will help avoid denial of legitimate PCboard warranty claims.

4. Apply 12 VDC to the contactor coilleads.
Do not leave the 12 VDC applied to thecontactor coil for a prolonged period oftime (15 seconds maximum). Damage tocontactor may result.
5. If the contactor does not activatewhen the 12 VDC is applied, thecontactor is faulty. Replace.
6. If the contactor activates when the 12VDC is applied, check the resistancebetween the two large terminal studswith the contactor activated. The
resistance should be very low (0 to1 ohm).
7. If the resistance is “high” or “open”between the two large terminal studswhen the contactor is activated, thecontactor is faulty. Replace.
8. If the contactor activates and theresistance between the terminals islow when the 12 VDC is applied, thecontactor is good.
NOTE: When the contactor is not activated,the resistance between the terminals shouldbe very high (infinite). If the resistance isalways low, the contacts are “stuck” and thecontactor is faulty. Replace.
