2 SAFETY<br />
bm16d12e<br />
WARNING<br />
ARC WELDING AND CUTTING CAN BE INJURIOUS TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. TAKE PRECAU-<br />
TIONS WHEN WELDING. ASK FOR YOUR EMPLOYER’S SAFETY PRACTICES WHICH SHOULD BE<br />
BASED ON MANUFACTURERS’ HAZARD DATA.<br />
ELECTRIC SHOCK - Can kill<br />
S Install and earth the welding unit in accordance with applicable standards.<br />
S Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.<br />
S Insulate yourself from earth and the workpiece.<br />
S Ensure your working stance is safe.<br />
FUMES AND GASES - Can be dangerous to health<br />
S Keep your head out of the fumes.<br />
S Use ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to take fumes and gases away from your breathing zone<br />
and the general area.<br />
ARC RAYS - Can injure eyes and burn skin.<br />
S Protect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and wear protective<br />
clothing.<br />
S Protect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.<br />
FIRE HAZARD<br />
S Sparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no inflammable materials nearby.<br />
NOISE - Excessive noise can damage hearing<br />
S Protect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.<br />
S Warn bystanders of the risk.<br />
MALFUNCTION - Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.<br />
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING.<br />
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!<br />

3 INTRODUCTION<br />
A10 - <strong>MEK</strong> <strong>25</strong> is an intermediate wire feed unit for MIG/MAG--welding where the<br />
electrode is fed forward according to <strong>ESAB</strong>:’s A10--system<br />
By connecting an extension cable between the intermediate wire feed unit and the<br />
wire feed unit on the power source the working radius can be increased by up to<br />
<strong>25</strong> m.<br />
On <strong>MEK</strong> <strong>25</strong> the wire feed speed and the voltage can be controlled using<br />
potentiometers or a remote control unit can be connected.<br />
The drive motor is of a permanent--magnetic design and is integrated with a worm<br />
gear. The motor is fed with 24 V DC voltage.<br />
<strong>MEK</strong> <strong>25</strong> is equipped with a heavy--duty crash bar and runners to facilitate transport.<br />
The extensive range combined with the performance of the power source provides<br />
you with a flexible total solution.<br />
3.1 TECHNICAL DATA<br />
Control voltage 42V AC<br />
Voltage 0--24V DC<br />
Wire feed speed 1--18m/min<br />
Feed roller hollow wire 1,0--1,2 R / 1,4--1,6 R<br />
Feed roller solid wire 1,0--1,2<br />
Enclosure class IP 23<br />
Weight 7,5 kg<br />
Continuous A--weighted noise level 58 dB<br />
Enclosure class<br />
The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid<br />
objects or water. Equipment marked IP 23 is designed for indoor and outdoor use.<br />

4 INSTALLATION<br />
WARNING!<br />
This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio<br />
interference. It is the user’s responsibility to take adequate precautions.<br />
Connecting the extension cable and the welding gun<br />
S The extension cable is connected to connector (6). Connect the 14--pole sleeve<br />
plug on the extension cable’s control cable to the pin socket (7) and tighten the<br />
nut.<br />
S Connect the other end of the extension cable to the corresponding socket on the<br />
power source’s wire feed unit.<br />
S The welding gun is connected to connector (5).<br />
Feed roller<br />
S Make sure the right feed roller and groove is used for the selected wire size.<br />
Each feed roller has grooves for two wire sizes. The feed roller should have the<br />
correct marking for respective wires facing outwards, towards you.<br />
S The feed roller can be turned or replaced using another suitable roller (see the<br />
spare parts list), by removing the screw that holds the feed rollers.<br />
Feeding the wire forward<br />
S Connect the power source to the mains supply.<br />
S Set the wire feed speed between 1--18m/min using the potentiometer (2) on the<br />
intermediate wire feed unit.<br />
S Straighten out the extension cable and the welding gun cable.<br />
S Swing out the control levers on the feed mechanism so that the feed rollers are<br />
released. Feed the wire forward to the intermediate wire feed unit by holding the<br />
welding gun trigger pressed in.<br />
S Guide the wire through the nozzles over the pressure rollers and into the welding<br />
gun’s wire--liner, swing back the pressure levers to their original positions.<br />
S Hold the welding gun trigger pressed in until the wire is fed out through the contact<br />
tip on the gun.<br />
S By setting the correct spring tension on the rollers a slip--free wire feed is obtained.<br />
If the rollers slip or in any other way do not function correctly perhaps the<br />
pre--tension needs to be adjusted. This is carried out using the adjuster screws<br />
on respective pressure arms. The pre--tension can be checked by using the<br />
graduated scale on respective adjuster screws.<br />
