FIELD INSTALLED OPTIONS
K1482-1 Digital Ammeter/Voltmeter Kit -
Installs
easily to the front control panel and provides digital
display of actual welding voltage and amperage while
welding. (Installation instructions are included with the
kit).
K1483-1 Analog Ammeter/Voltmeter Kit -
Installs
easily to the front control panel and provides analog
display of actual welding voltage and amperage while
welding. (Installation instructions are included with the
kit).
K1484-1 Dual Feeder Kit -
This kit replaces the 14-
Pin MS-receptacle panel on the lower case front of the
DC-655. It provides two 14-Pin MS-receptacles and a
built in transfer circuit for connecting and operating
two like-polarity wire feeders. European DC-655 mod-
els can only use 42V feeders with this kit. (Installation
instructions are included with the kit).
K1485-1 Cable Hanger Bracket -
Mounts over stan-
dard lift bale of the DC-655 and provides a cable
hanger on both sides of the power source, each side
capable of holding up to 100 ft. of weld cable.
(Installation instructions are included with the kit).
K1486-1 Air Filter Kit -
Removable metal filter easily
slides in and out of a bracket which mounts to the
front of the DC-655. Filter is designed to trap 80% of
entering particles which are 5 microns, or larger, in
size. (Installation instructions are included with the kit).
Cannot be used with K1528-1 Dual process switch.
NOTE:
A dirty air filter may cause the thermal protec-
tion of the DC-655 to prematurely activate. Remove
and blow out, or wash and dry, the filter every two
months, or less if in extremely dirty conditions.
Replace if necessary.
Undercarriage (K817P, K842) -
The DC-655 is
designed for use with the Lincoln K817P or K842
Undercarriage. Complete installation instructions are
included with each undercarriage. When any of the
undercarriages are installed, the DC-655 lift bail is no
longer functional. Do not attempt to lift the machine
with the undercarriage attached. The undercarriage is
designed for moving the machine by hand only.
Mechanized towing can lead to injury and /or damage
to the DC-655.
REMOTE OUTPUT CONTROL
(K775 OR K857 WITH K864 ADAPTER)
An optional “remote output control” is available. This is
the same remote control that is used on other Lincoln
power sources (K775). The K775 consists of a control
box with 28 ft (8.5m) of four conductor cable. This
connects to terminals 75, 76, and 77 on the terminal
strip and the case grounding screw so marked with the
symbol on the machine. These terminals are locat-
ed behind the cover panel on the lower connection
panel of the DC-655. This control will give the same
control as the output control on the machine.
The K857 has a 6-pin MS-style connector. The K857
requires a K864 adapter cable which connects to the
14-pin connector on the DC-655.
REMOTE CONTROL ADAPTER CABLE (K864)
A “V” cable 12” (.30m) long to connect a K857 Remote
Control (6 pin connector) with a wire-feeder (14-pin
connector) and the machine (14-pin connector). If a
remote control is used alone the wire-feeder connec-
tion is then not used.
K1528-1 Dual Process Switch -
(Cannot be used with
K1486-1 Air Filter Kit) The Dual-Process Switch
mounts easily to the front of the machine and is
designed to provide a selection between left and right
side output terminals. Each pair of output terminals
can be switched to either the DC-655, high or low
inductance terminals as desired. Wire feed unit cables
and air carbon arc cables can be connected to either
or both sides of the box and with proper connection
can provide polarity change with just a switch change.
Selecting one side only energizes those output studs
and opens the other side. Installation instructions are
included with the switch.)
K1611-1 Paralleling Kit -
Provides interconnection of
two DC-655 machines in parallel for doubling the cur-
rent capacity of one machine. This “master” and
“slave” connection configuration allows the “master”
to control the balanced output of both machines.
Individual protection circuits of both machines func-
tion normally. (Installation instructions are included
with the switch.)
