4.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil
free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,
cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear
ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a
welding area.
7.c.Do not add the fuel near an open flame welding
arc or when the engine is running. Stop the
engine and allow it to cool before refueling to
prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact
with hot engine parts and igniting. Do not spill
fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it
up and do not start engine until fumes have
been eliminated.
4.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding
area as practical. Work cables connected to the building
framework or other locations away from the welding area
increase the possibility of the welding current passing through
lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can
create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until
they fail.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.d. Keep all equipment safety guards, covers
and devices in position and in good repair.
Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away
from V-belts, gears, fans and all other
moving parts when starting, operating or
repairing equipment.
4.h. Also see item 7c.
7.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety
guards to perform required maintenance. Remove
guards only when necessary and replace them when the
maintenance requiring their removal is complete.
Always use the greatest care when working near moving
parts.
CYLINDER may explode
if damaged.
5.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders
containing the correct shielding gas for the
process used and properly operating
regulators designed for the gas and
pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for
the application and maintained in good condition.
7.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not
attempt to override the governor or idler by pushing on
the throttle control rods while the engine is running.
5.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely
chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.
7.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while
turning the engine or welding generator during maintenance
work, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or
magneto wire as appropriate.
5.c. Cylinders should be located:
• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to
physical damage.
• A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and
any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions
et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce
manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales
suivantes:
prévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.
7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de
la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un
échauffement et un risque d’incendie.
Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:
8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible de
la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on place la
masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres endroits
éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque de voir
passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de levage,
câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer des
risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et des
câbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.
a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tension
quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours
tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue ou
les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans trous
pour isoler les mains.
b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand on
soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher
metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans
les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande
partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.
c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble de
soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état
defonctionnement.
9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.
Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles
galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui
produit des fumeés toxiques.
10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant
d’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La
chaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs
du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)
ou autres produits irritants.
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour le
refroidir.
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension
des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder
parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le total
de la tension à vide des deux machines.
11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté, voir
le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA Standard
W 117.2-1974.
f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de
courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions
pour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de
soudage.
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger
contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais
enrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partie du
corps.
3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel, donc:

INSTALLATION
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Turn the input power off at the
disconnect switch before installing
or servicing this machine.
• Do not touch electrically “hot” parts such as
output terminals or internal wiring.
Be sure the voltage, phase and frequency of the input
power is as specified on the rating plate. The rating
plate is located on the front control panel of the DC-
650 PRO.
An entry for the input power lines (#1, Fig. 1) is
provided on the case back. The knockout is 2.00” (51
mm) in diameter. Access to the input panel
connection area is gained by removing the two bolts
which secure the Reconnect Door (#2, Fig. 1) and
lifting the door upward.
• Connect grounding screw
earth ground.
to a good
• Do not operate with covers removed.
• Turn power switch “OFF” before connecting
or disconnecting cables or other equipment.
• Only qualified personnel should install or
service this equipment.
Select the input lead wire sized according to local and
national electrical codes. A chart conforming to the
U.S. National Electrical Code is provided as a
reference. (Table 1). Have a qualified electrician
connect the input leads to terminals L1, L2 and L3 on
the reconnect panel (#3, Fig. 1), in accordance with all
local and national electrical codes, and with the
diagram (#4, Fig. 1) located on the inside of the cover.
Use a three phase line.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Please read all of this section before starting
installation. Refer to Figure 1 during installation.
Location
The frame of the welder must be grounded. A ground
terminal (#5, Fig. 1) marked with the symbol
is located on the bottom of the input box for this
purpose. Check local and national electrical codes for
details on proper grounding methods.
Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely
circulate in through the front louvers, and out through
the rear louvers. The presence of dirt, dust or any
foreign material that can be drawn in through the
louvers should be kept to a minimum. Failure to
observe these precautions can result in excessive
operating temperatures, and welder shutdowns due to
thermal overload.
On welders with multiple input voltages, be sure that
the reconnect panel is connected per the instructions
that follow.
DC-650 PRO power sources can be stacked three
high, provided that the bottom machine is on a stable,
hard, level surface. Be sure that the two pins in the
roof of the lower machine fit into the holes in the base
of the DC-650 PRO above it.
CAUTION
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAN CAUSE IMMEDIATE FAILURE OF
COMPONENTS INSIDE THE WELDER.
Minimizing Problems Due to High
Frequency
Welders are shipped connected for the highest rated
input voltage. To change this to a lower voltage, first
reconnect the pilot transformer leads H2, H3 or H4 per
the diagram attached to the inside of the reconnect
door. Next, remove and reinstall the reconnect links
according to the same diagram.
This welder, like all electrical equipment, can be
subject to interference from strong sources of high
frequency energy. Sources of high frequency energy
include, but are not limited to, TIG welders, plasma
cutters, and two-way radios. To minimize the
potential for such interference, follow all of the
installation instructions for equipment that will be
installed in the same general area as the DC-650
PRO. Pay particular attention to instructions on
grounding. The best preventative measure is to
locate high frequency generating devices away from
all other electrical equipment. Also, the input power
lines going to those devices should be enclosed in
solid metallic tubing or conduit.
Fuse the input leads with the recommended size
super lag fuses or delay type circuit breakers. See
Table 1 for the recommended fuse and/or circuit
breaker sizes. Using fuses or breakers smaller than
those recommended may result in nuisance “tripping”,
and possible damage to circuit breakers from welder
inrush currents at turn on, even if the machine is not
used to weld at high currents.

EXPLANATION OF CONTROLS
Refer to Figure 3 for placement of the DC-650 PRO
controls.
3. Arc Force Potentiometer
1. Output Control Potentiometer
Active only in the SMAW (stick) mode. Adjusts
the slope of the machine to give greater short
circuit currents, necessary when using certain
manual electrodes. When set to “0”, there is no
arc force action, giving a soft, buttery arc
characteristic. When adjusted towards “10”, the
higher arc force action gives the arc a “digging”
characteristic, which can help prevent the
electrode from sticking to the work. The setting of
this control has no effect in any other mode.
Controls the output of the machine. Adjusts
current when welding in the SMAW mode, and
adjusts voltage when welding in the GMAW,
FCAW and SAW modes. The Output Control
switch must be in the Local position for this
control to be active.
2. Output Control Switch
This switch chooses whether the DC-650 PRO
output is adjusted from the front panel or by
remote control. In the Local position, the Output
Control Potentiometer adjusts the output. In the
Remote position, the output is adjusted by either
a wire feeder or an optional remote control. If
using an LN-9 or NA-5 see “Operating with LN-9
or NA-5 Wire Feeder” section.
4. LN-9 / NA-5 On/Off Switch
This switch is set to “On” only when used with
LN-9 and NA-5 wire feed units. For all other
equipment, this switch is to be set to “Off”. For
proper operating with LN-9 and NA-5 wire feed
units, the Output Control switch must be set to
Remote, and the LN-9/NA-5 switch must be set to
“On”.

5. Mode Switch
12. Wire Feeder Receptacle
This is the standard Lincoln, 14-pin, MS-type
(amphenol) receptacle. See the DC-650 PRO
wiring diagram for the pinout diagram of this
receptacle.
This switch chooses the proper welding mode.
Choose from GMAW (MIG), FCAW (flux-cored),
SAW (submerged arc), or SMAW (stick). This
switch electronically changes the welding
characteristics depending on the mode setting.
13. Rating Plate
This plate contains important information
regarding the code number, serial number, input
voltages, input currents, and output ratings of the
DC-650 PRO. Record the code and serial
numbers in a safe place. These numbers will be
required if replacement parts are needed in the
future.
NOTE: The welding cables must also be attached to
the proper output studs for best welding
performance (See “Output Connections”
section).
6. Wire Feeder Voltmeter Switch
This switch changes the polarity of the wire feeder
voltmeter sense lead, if the wire feeder is so
equipped. Set to match the electrode polarity so
that the wire feeder voltmeter can display the
welding voltage. This switch has no effect on the
welding output polarity of the DC-650 PRO.
14. Digital Ammeter
Displays the output amperage when welding. If
set to the SMAW (stick) mode, the ammeter
displays the preset welding current when not
welding. By using this meter, the output current
can be set to a predetermined value before an
arc is struck. This permits repeatability when
changing and setting procedures. The output
current can be preset from the Output Control or
from a remote control attached to the terminal
strip.
7. Output Terminals Switch
This switch controls the solid-state output
contactor circuitry in the DC-650 PRO. When set
to the “On” position, the output studs are "hot" all
of the time. When in the remote position, the
contactor circuitry is controlled by the equipment
connected to terminals 2 and 4, usually a wire
feeder. Normally, this switch is turned “On” only
when stick welding, arc gouging, or when using
an arc powered wire feeder (such as an LN-25).
15. Digital Voltmeter
Displays the output voltage as measured on the
output studs of the machine.
NOTE: Due to voltage drops in the welding
cables and at cable connection points,
the actual arc voltage may be lower than
that displayed on the voltmeter. Use
welding cables of the proper capacity
and make sure all connections are tight
to minimize this effect.
8. Power Switch and Pilot Light
Turns the DC-650 PRO on and off. The red pilot
light illuminates when the machine is turned “On”.
9. Circuit Breakers
These circuit breakers provide overload protection
for the auxiliary circuits. One 15 amp breaker is
for the wire feeder 115V AC circuit (31 and 32),
another 15 amp breaker is for the spare 115V AC
auxiliary circuit (33 and 34). The 10 amp breaker
is for the 42V AC wire feeder circuit (41 and 42).
If set to either the GMAW, FCAW, or SAW
modes, this meter can display the preset welding
voltage when the secondary output contactor is
open (usually when the gun trigger is released).
By using this meter, the output voltage can be
set to a predetermined value before an arc is
struck. This permits repeatability when changing
and setting procedures. The output voltage can
be preset from the Output Control or from a
remote control attached to the terminal strip. The
only exception occurs when the DC-650 PRO is
used with an LN-9 or NA-5; with those wire
feeders, the preset voltage can only be read on
the wire feed unit. The DC-650 PRO voltmeter
will display “---” when in the LN-9/NA-5 mode.
(see “Operation with LN-9 or NA-5 Wire Feeder”
section).
10. Strain Reliefs
These strain reliefs are provided for control cables
going to the terminal strips.
11. Terminal Strip Door
This access door provides protection for the
terminal strip connections. (Lead numbers shown
for this panel in Figure 3). The door can be
opened by turning the fastener one-quarter turn
counter-clockwise. Reverse this procedure to
latch the door shut.

Setup and Operation
Mode:
SMAW
These wire feeders are called presettable wire
feeders. The welding voltage is set on the wire
feeder, and then maintained throughout the weld by
circuitry in the wire feeder. It makes continuous
adjustments during the weld to maintain the proper
arc voltage. Because the wire feeder takes control of
the arc voltage, the DC-650 PRO must be told that an
LN-9 or NA-5 is in control. This is done by setting the
LN-9/NA-5 On/Off switch to the “On” position.

Output
Control:
Local or Remote (See “Output Control
Switch”)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
LN-9/NA-5: Off
To use an LN-9 or NA-5, the Output Control switch
must be set to “Remote”. Output voltage control is
now done through the terminal strip, or through the
wire feeder receptacle, rather than with the front panel
Output potentiometer. Additionally, the LN-9/NA-5
switch must be set to “On”. This tells the DC-650
PRO that an LN-9 or NA-5 is in control. The DC-650
PRO Voltmeter will no longer display the preset
welding voltage. The preset welding voltage must be
read at the LN-9 or NA-5. The DC-650 PRO
Voltmeter will display “---” when not welding.

When welding, the Voltmeter displays the welding
voltage, as measured on the output studs of the DC-
650 PRO.This voltage may be higher than that
displayed on the LN-9 or NA-5, due to voltage drops
in the cables and cable connection points. The
ammeter displays the actual welding current.
If using Local output control, preset the desired
welding voltage using the Output Potentiometer and
the voltmeter. If using Remote output control, preset
the welding voltage using a remote control.
Set the Arc Force potentiometer according to the arc
characteristics desired. With certain electrodes, such
as low hydrogen alloy electrodes, it is beneficial to set
the Arc Force to a high setting. This gives a more
forceful arc, less prone to sticking and stubbing.
Setting this control too high can lead to excessive
spatter. It is often best to start stick welding with the
Arc Force set to minimum, and if sticking is a problem,
raise the setting until the electrode runs smoothly.
Connection of the Work Lead (21)
In some applications, very precise arc voltage sensing
is required. This requires that the wire feeder arc
voltage sensing lead, number 21, be extended directly
to the workpiece. Instructions follow for extending that
lead.
When using the Wire Feeder Receptacle, extend the
21 lead to the workpiece as follows:
The output terminals will always be “hot”. Before an
arc is struck, the ammeter will display the preset
current. When an arc is struck, the ammeter will
display the actual output current. In the SMAW mode,
the voltmeter always displays the output voltage
present at the output studs of the DC-650 PRO.
1. Turn the input power off.
2. Open the terminal strip door. When installing the
wire feeder, do not connect the lead marked 21
coming from the wire feeder control cable to the

adjust the output up or down as necessary.
Installation with an NA-3
As supplied from the factory, the cold inch feature in
the NA-3 will not work when used with a DC-650 PRO
in negative polarity operation. Contact the factory for
information regarding an NA-3 modification procedure
that will allow the cold inch feature to work with the
DC-650 PRO under these conditions.
The LN-9 or NA-5 will now sense arc voltage through
this work sense lead. The DC-650 PRO meters will
continue to read the output stud voltage, so there may
be a difference between the DC-650 PRO voltmeter
and the wire feeder voltmeter.
K317 DUAL PROCESS KIT (FOR WIRE
FEEDERS USING SAME POLARITY
PROTECTIVE CIRCUITRY
This kit permits the connection of two wire feeders to
the DC650 PRO. Both feeders will weld with the same
electrode polarity. When the trigger of the desired wire
feeder is pressed, the DC650 PRO output control
leads (75, 76, and 77) will be connected to that feeder
and the procedure as set on its controls will be
provided. The other connected wire feeder will not be
feeding wire but is electrically hot. The kit mounts at
the power source and is connected to the power
source terminal strip with the supplied leads.
Thermostatic Protection
The DC-650 PRO has a thermostat in both the
primary and secondary circuits.
The primary thermostat, located inside the right
primary coil, will open up if the main transformer
overheats. The machine will completely shut off when
the primary thermostat opens. The machine must be
allowed to cool before it can be restarted.
The secondary thermostat, located on the secondary
common lead at the front of the main transformer, will
open if the output is overloaded, the duty cycle is
exceeded, or if the flow of cooling air is blocked.
When the secondary thermostat opens, power will be
removed from control transformer T3, causing the
Control PC Board to lose power. The meter displays
will go off, and there will be no output from the DC-
650 PRO. The pilot light will remain lit, and the fan
will continue to run. When the machine cools down,
the thermostat will close automatically, and normal
operation will be restored.
Installation instructions are included with the kit.
NOTE: When using the DC650 PRO power source the
K317 Dual Process Kit can only be used with two like
wire feeders. An LN-9 cannot be used with an LN-8.
Only two LN-9’s may be used together or two LN-8’s
together.
AC-A (Arc Gouging) Operation
Most arc gouging is done with constant voltage
output. Connect the electrode lead to the “+” output
studs, and the work lead to the “-” studs labeled
“GMAW, FCAW”. Do not make any connections to
the left hand pair of output studs.

Overload Protection
The DC-650 PRO is protected from excessive output
currents by phaseback circuitry on the Control PC
board. If the output current exceeds approximately
850 amps, the output of the machine will phase back
to a low value. It will remain at a low value until the
load is removed.
If the output is shorted in one of the constant voltage
modes (GMAW, FCAW, or SAW) the output may
phase back all the way to zero. The short must be
removed from the output, and the protective circuits
reset before welding can continue. To reset them,
shut the DC-650 PRO off, and then turn it back on
again.
TROUBLESHOOTING

Procedure for Troubleshooting PC Boards
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Have a qualified individual install and
service this equipment.
• Turn the power source input power off
at the disconnect switch before
working on this equipment.
• Do not touch electrically hot parts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Before replacing a PC board which is suspected of
being defective, visually inspect the PC board in
question for any electrical or mechanical damage to
any of its components and conductors on the back of
the board.
a. If there is no visible damage to the PC board,
install a new one and see if this remedies the
problem. If the problem is remedied, reinstall the
old PC board to see if the problem still exists. If it
does no longer exist with old PC board:
1. Check the PC board harness connector pins for
corrosion, contamination, or looseness.
2. Check leads in the plug harness for loose or
intermittent connection.
b. If PC board is visibly damaged electrically, before
possibly subjecting the new PC board to the same
cause of failure, check for possible shorts, opens,
or grounds caused by:
1. Frayed or pinched lead insulation.
2. Poor lead termination, such as a poor contact
or a short to adjacent connection or surface.
3. Shorted or open motor leads, or other external
leads.
4. Foreign matter or interference behind the PC
boards.
c. If PC board is visibly damaged mechanically,
inspect for cause, then remedy before installing a
replacement PC board.
If there is damage to the PC board or if replacing
PC board corrects problem, return it to the local
Lincoln Electric Field Service Shop.
CAUTION
If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the tests/repairs safely, contact your
Local Lincoln Authorized Field Service Facility for technical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed.

Protection PC Board
If one control or function of the machine does not
appear to be working, it is best to trace out the wiring
associated with that function, switch or potentiometer
all the way back to the Control board with an
ohmmeter. If all check out there, verify that the
following voltages are present at the output of the
auxiliary transformer, T3.
The protection PC Board is located on the back of the
control box. It protects the PC Board from electrical
noise. Most of the circuits on the Protection board are
straight through connections. The board can be
checked out in the field with a continuity tester or an
ohmmeter. A copy of the DC-650 PRO wiring
diagram is needed also. All circuits should show
continuity, or nearly zero ohms resistance, from input
to output. Inputs and outputs can be identified by the
common lead number suffixes on the wires connected
to the Protection PC Board. For example, lead 75 on
the input side is common with lead 375A on the output
side. Lead 208 is common with 308, lead 209 is
common with 309 and 309A, etc.

Often, replacement with a known good board is the
best service method. Remove the board that is
suspected to be defective. Carefully look over the
board, checking for burnt traces or components. If
none are found, install the known good board. If the
trouble goes away, reinstall the suspected bad board
to confirm that the board was indeed at fault. If the
problem is now gone with the original board installed,
the problem is probably with one of the leads or
connectors going to the board.
Snubber PC Board
The snubber PC Board is located on the main rectifier.
Circuits on this board protect the SCR’s from high
transient voltages. Failures on this board should be
very rare. The only way to check the seven circuits on
this board is to check each circuit, one at a time, using
an ohmmeter, preferably an analog ohmmeter on the
X10 scale. The first step is to connect one lead of the
ohmmeter to the center plate of the rectifier assembly.
This is the cathode connection for SCR’s 1 through 6.
Next, disconnect the Snubber board lead that goes to
the anode of SCR1. Connect the other ohmmeter
lead to this snubber lead. The ohmmeter should show
a low resistance initially, then swing towards high
resistance if the snubber is good. Repeat this with
SCR;’s 2 through 6, each time testing just one
Snubber lead. Lastly, disconnect the snubber lead
that goes to the cathode of SCR7, and perform the
same test. The ohmmeter action should be the same
for each SCR on the bridge.
Meter PC Board
Both the Voltmeter and the Ammeter PC boards are
identical. They both operate as display boards,
displaying numbers sent to them by the Control PC
board. The Meter boards do not make voltage or
current measurements; the Control Board performs
those functions.
If both meter boards are dark, (not lighted) chances
are that either the secondary thermostat is open (see
“Thermostatic Protection” section), the auxiliary
transformer T3 is defective (see “Control P.C. Board”
section) or the Control board is defective.
Output Bypass PC Boards
One of these boards is mounted to each output
terminal. Each board prevents high frequency energy
and electrical noise from entering the DC-650 PRO.
Again, failures of these boards should be very rare.
The only way to inspect these boards is visually.
Inspect each board, looking for burnt traces or
components.
If only one board is dark, make sure the machine is in
a mode where both boards are supposed to light.
There are certain modes where one board or the
other is supposed to be dark. To check this, place
the mode switch in the SMAW mode, and set the
Output Control switch to “On”. Both meters should be
lit. If one board is still dark, that board may be
defective. The best way to check this is to switch the
bad board with the other working Meter board right
next to it. Replace the defective board.
Control PC Board
This board, located inside the control box, is the heart
of the machine. All welding output is controlled by this
board. The Meter boards receive their information
from the Control board as well. Very little external
diagnostic work can be performed on this board.
CAUTION
If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the tests/repairs safely, contact your
Local Lincoln Authorized Field Service Facility for technical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed.
