INSTALLATION
Receivinq
Immediately upon receipt of the equipment, make a careful examination for
evidence of damage encountered in transit. If any damage is found or sus-
pected, file a claim promptly with the transportation company and notify
the nearest sales office. Do not discard any packing materiel without
first checking it for small accessory items.
Location
The control should be installed so that all parts of the workpiece to be
welded can be reached with a minimum of effort. Approximately 50 feet of
cable and hose. are normally supplied with the gun. The control unit should
be located so no sharp kinks or bends are made in the gas hose. Care
should be taken to avoid dragging the cable or hose over hot work or sharp
The distance from the welding machine to the control is not critical and
is limited only if the voltage drop due to the length and size of the cable
prevents stable welding conditions. The 115 volt suppuly cable maybe ex-
tended as required, within reasonable limits.
It is usually best if the control is placed as close to the workpiece as
is practical, therefore making it easy for the operator to make adjustments
or reenergize the equipment as required.
Connections
1.
Attach the Regulator and Flowmeter to a cylinder of pure argon by
threading nut on regulator-flowmeter to matching threads on cylinder.
Tighten the nut to prevent gas leaks. The gas cylinder is not part of.
welding set.
2.
Attach nut on gas hose from welding gun to the matching threads on the
outlet side of regulator-flowmeter and tighten to prevent gas leakage.
As shipped, the SP-9 or SP-10 welding gun has a terminal on the end of

the welding cable. Remove this terminal and add the camlock plug in-
eluded with the CCD-4 Control. Insert the plug into the matching re-
ceptacle on the control. `this plug is keyed and must be rotated to the
proper position before inserting. After inserting plug, turn plug 1/4
turn clockwise to lock in place.

Insert plug on end of control cable from welding gun in matching re-
ceptacle on the control monitor. This plug is also keyed and must be
rotated to the proper position before inserting. After the plug is
lined up properly with receptacle, gently work plug into socket and
tighten retaining ring.
