INSTALLATION   

POWER FEED™ 10A CONTROLLER

A-3

Auxiliary Input Power Connection Instructions:

1.  Remove  two  Phillips  Head  screws  on  right  side  of

front panel of hinged door to access terminal strip.

2. Remove  a  plug  button  and  install  a  box  connector

to provide strain relief for the input power leads.

3. Use the appropriate size leads, at least 14 AWG –

2 wire with ground.

4. Using  a  flat-head  screwdriver  with  a  blade  dimen-

sion  of  0.137"(3.5mm)  x  0.020"(.51mm),  insert  the
screwdriver into the square hole next to the mount-
ing  hole  to  be  used  on  the  terminal  strip.  The
screwdriver  should  be  inserted  until  it  bottoms  out.
This opens the screwless cage clamping style wire
insertion  port.    The  insulation  on  the  leads  should
be  stripped  at  least  0.25"(6.4mm).    With  the  cage
clamp  opened  insert  the  wire  into  the  round  port
until it bottoms out. While holding the lead securely,
remove  the  screwdriver  from  the  terminal  block.
This closes the cage clamp onto the lead holding it
securely.    Any  open  port  on  blocks  #48,  #49,  and
#50 may be used. 

5. The 4-terminal blocks, numbered #48, #49, and #50

are to be used to bring in auxiliary power.  Terminal
block  #50  is  used  for  the  input  ground  connection.
This terminal block is color-coded green and yellow
for easy identification. Terminal blocks #48 and #49
are  to  be  used  to  connect  the  input  power  circuit.
(See figure A.1)

FIGURE A.1

Terminal  blocks  48  and  49  are  shipped  connected  to
CR2  and  CR3  (532  and  531  leads)  and  these  relays
are connected to the 3-pin and 4-pin connectors locat-
ed  on  the  bottom  of  the  POWER  FEED™  10A  CON-
TROLLER.  CR1 is available for a separate customer
connection,  but  it  will  turn  ON  and  OFF  with  CR2.
Therefore, if Lincoln auxiliary equipment is to be used,
connecting  115Vac  to  the  terminal  strip  is  all  that  is
required to power the devices.

NOTE: The contacts of CR1 are not connected to ter-
minals  #48  and  #49  when  shipped.  Applying  power
the  #48  and  #49  terminals  will  not  transfer  voltage  to
the  CR1  relay.    Connect  leads  from  the  #48  terminal
to the #4 terminal and from the #49 terminal to the #3
terminal  to  supply  power  to  the  common  contacts  of
the relay.

Once  input  power  is  applied  to  the  terminal  strip,  this
voltage  is  always  on  terminal  strip  blocks  #3,  #4  (if
connected), #11, #17, and #18.  These are the inputs
to the solid-state relay contacts.  Input voltage is also
present on terminal strip blocks #7, #8 (if connected),
#15,  #21,  and  #22  due  to  the  N.C.  contacts  on  the
relays.  When the CR1 relay is energized, input power
is  transferred  to  terminal  strip  blocks  #5  and  #6  (if
connected).    When  the  CR2  relay  is  energized,  input
power is transferred to terminal strip block #13.  When
the CR3 relay is energized, input power is transferred
to  terminal  strip  blocks  #19  and  #20.    CR1  and  CR2
will be turned ON and OFF at the same time. 

INTERFACING  TO  THE  POWER  FEED™
10A CONTROLLER

The POWER FEED™ 10A CONTROLLER is a versa-
tile controller. The Switch Panel can be removed and
made  into  a  hand-held  pendant.  Most  circuits  can  be
accessed  through  the  screwless  terminal  strip.    The
auxiliary  relays  can  control  standard  Lincoln  equip-
ment,  or  they  can  be  used  to  control  any  other  auxil-
iary  equipment  (see  relay  rating  information  above).
Custom controls or PLC interfacing to control starting,
stopping, motion, etc, can be accomplished with ease.

Converting Switch Panel to a remote pendant:

1. Remove  all  input  power  to  the  POWER  FEED™

10A  CONTROLLER  including  any  auxiliary  power
supplies.

2. Remove  the  fasteners  from  the  Switch  Panel  and

disconnect the Switch Panel from the wire harness.

3. Jumper the wire harness connector (J2) to the mat-

ing 10-pin connector (P2P) that is floating inside the
control box (See Wiring Diagram).
