INSTALLATION OF FIELD INSTALLED
OPTIONS
Water Flow Sensor
Water cooled guns can be damaged very quickly if
they are used even momentarily without water flowing.
Recommend practice is to install a water flow sensor
on the water return line of the torch. When fully inte-
grated into the welding system, the sensor will prevent
welding if no water flow is present.
Gas Guard Regulator
The Gas Guard regulator is available as an optional
accessory (K659-1) for Power Feed Robotic wire drive
unit. Install the 5/8-18 male outlet of the regulator to
the proper 5/8-18 female gas inlet on the back panel
of the wire drive. Secure fitting with flow adjuster key
at top.
