VANTAGE ® 400-I
CONNECTION OF ACROSS THE ARC WIRE FEEDERS
TO THE VANTAGE ® 400-I
These connections instructions apply to both the LN-25 Pro
and Activ8 models. The feeders have an internal contactor
and the electrode is not energized until the gun trigger is
closed. When the gun trigger is closed the wire will begin to
feed and the welding process is started.
• Shut the welder off.
• For electrode Positive, connect the electrode cable to the
"+" terminal of the welder and work cable to the "-" termi-
nal of the welder. For electrode Negative, connect the elec-
trode cable "-" terminal of the welder and work cable to
the "+" terminal of the welder.
• Attach the single lead from the front of the feeder 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 (See Figure A.8).
• Set the MODE switch to the "CV-WIRE" position (See Figure
A.7).
• Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to "WELD TERMINALS
ON"
• Set the "ARC CONTROL" knob to "0" initially and adjust to
suit.
