OVERVIEW

Lincoln Electric K683-3 Dual Procedure Switch: Control at Your Fingertips

Take full control of your welding parameters with the Lincoln Electric K683-3 Dual Procedure Switch. Designed for professional welders who demand precision and convenience, this accessory attaches to your Lincoln Magnum welding gun and allows you to alternate between two pre-programmed welding schedules on the fly. This capability is a game-changer for complex projects requiring different heat inputs or wire speeds for different joints or positions. Instead of halting your work to walk back to your wire feeder, you can simply activate the switch and keep the arc burning.

The K683-3 comes equipped with a 15-foot (7.6 m) cord, giving you the freedom to move around large assemblies without restriction. It connects via a standard 5-pin connector, making it compatible with a wide range of Lincoln Electric's premium wire feeders. If you are running an LN-25X, LN-25 Pro Pipe, LN-10, DH-10, Flex Feed 84, or a Power Feed Feeder, this switch is the perfect add-on to unlock the full potential of your equipment's dual-procedure capabilities.

Installation is straightforward, and the switch is built to last. It is particularly useful for pipe welders using the LN-25 Pro Pipe, allowing for an immediate switch between the lower parameters needed for a root pass and the higher deposition rates required for fill passes. By keeping control right at the gun, you reduce fatigue and maintain better focus on the weld puddle. Upgrade your rig with the K683-3 and experience the convenience of dual-procedure welding.

FAQ

The K683-3 allows a welder to switch between two different pre-set welding procedures (such as voltage and wire feed speed) using a switch mounted near the gun, without returning to the feeder.

This switch is compatible with LN-10, DH-10, LN-25X, LN-25 Pro Pipe, Flex Feed 84, and Power Feed Feeders.

The cable is 15 feet (7.6 meters) long, providing good reach from the feeder to the operator.

It uses a 5-pin connector to interface with the compatible Lincoln Electric wire feeders.

It is designed to be used with Lincoln Magnum guns. The switch typically attaches to the gun handle for easy access.

Yes, it is highly recommended for pipe welding with feeders like the LN-25 Pro Pipe, as it allows quick switching between root pass and fill pass settings.

No, it draws its control signal power directly from the 5-pin connection on the wire feeder.

It is specified for the LN-25X and LN-25 Pro Pipe. You should check the manual of older standard LN-25 models, as they may require different adapters or may not support dual procedures electronically.
