Connection to L-Tec Adapted Feeders
Gun cable assemblies which were assembled with a
K466-5 Connector Kit will connect easily to an L-
Tec fe
eder equipped with an L-Tec feeder
connector
assembly. L-Tec feeders require this connector
assembly (similar to a Tweco
®
adapter) to connect
with a gun and cable.
a. Check that the adapter and feeder outgoing guide,
as well as the drive roll, are appropriate for the
electrode size being used.
b. Fully push the brass connector end of the gun
cable into the brass adapter on the outgoing side of
the feeder wire drive. Secure the cable using the
hand screw, set screw or pin.
c. Insert the control cable plug from the feeder trigger
circuit into the mating socket on the gun cable con-
nector handle. For machines with a twist-lock trig-
ger lead receptacle, if the L-Tec gun control cable
does not easily connect with the socket, the gun
control cable that came with the K466-5 kit can be
used. To do this, cut off the gun control leads as
close to the forked terminals as possible and skin
back the leads 7/16 inch (11 mm). Remove the
twist-lock plug from the L-Tec control cable and
connect it to the K466-5 cable Make sure the outer
jacket of the connector is caught within the plug’s
strain relief.
Connection to Adapted Feeders
Gun cable assemblies which were assembled with a
K466-2 Connector Kit will connect easily to any
prop
erly adapted feeder.
a. Check that the adapter and feeder outgoing guide,
as well as the drive roll, are appropriate for the
electrode size being used.
b. Fully push the brass connector end of the gun
cable into the brass adapter on the outgoing side of
the feeder wire drive. Secure the cable using the
hand screw or set screw in the adapter.
c. Insert the control cable plug from the feeder trigger
circuit into the mating socket on the gun cable con-
nector handle.
Connection to Miller Feeders
Gun and cable assemblies which were assembled
with a K466-3 Connector Kit will connect easily to a
variety of popular Miller wire feeders.
a. Check that the gun liner, connector cap liner, drive
rolls and guide tubes are appropriate for the elec-
trode
size being used. Three different
diameter
pieces of liner material are included in each kit.
b. Fully push the brass connector end of the gun and
cable
into the connector receptacle on the
outgoing
side of the feeder wire drive. Tighten the hand
screw to clamp down on the connector.
c. Insert the control cable plug from the feeder trigger
circuit into the mating socket on the gun cable con-
nector handle.
Connection to Hobart Feeders
Gun and cable assembles which were assembled with
a K466-4 Connector Kit will connect easily to a variety
of Hobart wire feeders.
a. Check that the gun liner, connector cap liner, drive
rolls and guide tubes are appropriate for
the elec-
trode
size being used. These different
diameter
pieces of liner material are included in each kit.
b. Fully push the brass connector end of the gun and
cable into connector receptacle on the outgoing
side of the feeder wire drive. Tighten the hand
screw to clamp down on the connector.
c. Insert the control cable plug from the feeder trigger
circuit
into the mating socket on the gun cable
connector handle.
d. Sl
ide the free end of the flexible hose (mounted
to t
he
gun in K466-4 Installation Section) onto
the gas f
itting
on the
Hobart wire feeder. Move the corresponding
tubing clamp down near the end of the tube to
assure a good gas seal.
