Connection Of Lincoln Electric Wire Feeders - Lincoln Electric VANTAGE 400 Operator's Manual

VANTAGE 400
CONNECTION OF LINCOLN ELECTRIC WIRE
FEEDERS
Connection of LN-7 or LN-8 to the VANTAGE 400
1. Shut the welder off.
2. Connect the LN-7 or LN-8 per instructions on the appropriate
connection diagram in Section F.
3. Set the "WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER" switch to either "+" or
"-" as required by the electrode being used.
4. Set the "MODE" switch to the "CV WIRE " position.
5. Set the "ARC CONTROL" knob to "0" initially and adjust to
suit.
6. Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to the "REMOTELY CON-
TROLLED" position.
7. Set the "IDLE" switch to the "HIGH" position.
Connection of LN-15 to the VANTAGE 400
1. Shut the welder off.
2. For electrode Positive, connect the electrode cable to the "+"
terminal of the welder and work cable to the "-" terminal of
the welder. For electrode Negative, connect the electrode
cable to the "-" terminal of the welder and work cable to the
"+" terminal of the welder.
3. Across The-Arc Model:
• Attach the single lead from the front of the LN-15 to work
using the spring clip at the end of the lead. This is a control
lead to supply current to the wire feeder motor; it does not
carry welding current.
• Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to "WELD TERMINALS
ON".
• When the gun trigger is closed, the current sensing circuit
will cause the VANTAGE 400 engine to go to the high idle
speed, the wire will begin to feed and the welding process
started. When welding is stopped, the engine will revert to
low idle speed after approximately 12 seconds unless
welding is resumed.
4. Control Cable Model:
• Connect Control Cable between Engine Welder and Feeder.
• Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to "REMOTELY
CONTROLLED"
• Set the MODE switch to the "CV-WIRE " position.
• Set the "WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER" switch to either "+" or
"-" as required by the electrode polarity being used.
• Set the "ARC CONTROL" knob to "0" initially and adjust to
suit.
• Set the "IDLE" switch to the "AUTO" position.
• When the gun trigger is closed, the current sensing circuit
will cause the VANTAGE 400 engine to go to the high idle
speed, the wire will begin to feed and the welding process
started. When welding is stopped, the engine will revert to
low idle speed after approximately 12 seconds unless
welding is resumed.
