GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LN-742 is a semiautomatic constant
speed wire feeder with a gas solenid valve
and fittings. It also has standard Lincoln gun
connector. An LED display and a soft touch
keypad provide selection of operating mode,
function selection, timer selection, and
parameter adjustment. Two touch keys
operate the cold-inch and gas purge
functions.
POWER INPUT CIRCUITS
The LN-742 receives 42 VAC (usually from
the welding power source) by way of the
input cable connector. The 42 VAC is
rectified to a DC voltage and applied to the
control board. The control board regulates
the rectified voltage to a +12.8 VDC supply
and also +5 VDC supply. A variable 0 to 23
VDC is also applied to the wire drive motor
via the control board.
