3 INTRODUCTION
The Feed 3004 and Feed 4804 wire feed units are intended for use with Mig power
sources.
There are several variants available: see on page 19.
They are totally enclosed, containing four--wheel feeders and the necessary control
electronics.
They are suitable for use with wire on ESAB’s MarathonPact, or on standard
bobbins (standard Ø 300 mm, accessory Ø 440 mm).
The units can be positioned in a choice of ways: on the power source itself, hanging
above the working position, on a support arm or with a wheelset on the floor.
ESAB’s accessories for the product can be found on page 24.
3.1 Equipment
The unit Feed 3004 is supplied with:
S Instruction manual for the wire feed unit.
S Instruction manual for control panel.
S Stickers with recommended wear parts.
The unit Feed 4804 is supplied with:
S Distance washer (4 pieces).
S Hexagon key (4 mm)
S Instruction manual for the wire feed unit.
S Instruction manual for the control panel.

Enclosure class
The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid
objects or water. Equipment marked IP23 is designed for indoor and outdoor use.
Equipment marked IP2X is designed for indoor use.
5 INSTALLATION
The installation must be executed by a professional.
WARNING!
This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference. It is the user’s responsibility to take adequate precautions.
WARNING!
When welding in an environment with increased electrical danger, only power sources intended
for this environment may be used. These power sources are marked with the symbol .
5.1 Lifting instructions
Ordering number for the lifting eye can be found on page 24.
Note! If another mounting device is used, this should be insulated from the wire feed
unit.

5.2 Terminating resistors
In order to avoid communication interference, the
ends of the CAN bus must be terminated by resistive
loads.
One end of the CAN bus is at the wire feed unit control panel,
which incorporates a terminating resistor. The other end is in
the power source and it must be fitted with a terminating resistor,
as shown in the diagram to the right.
5.3 Connection of multiple wire feed units
When connecting multiple wire feed units (maximum 4), use wire feed units without
control panel and with control box U8.
Two feed units are to be connected according to the picture.
When connecting more than two feed units, an authorised ESAB service technican
must perform the installation.
