VANTAGE® 400
CONNECTION OF SPOOL GUN (K487-25)
AND COBRAMATIC TO VANTAGE® 400
• Shut the welder off.
• Connect per instructions on the appropriate con-
nection diagram in Section C.
CONNECTION OF PRINCE XL SPOOL GUN
TO THE VANTAGE® 400
Connection of the Prince XL Spool Gun requires the
use of the K1849-1 Adapter Module.
• Shut the Welder off.
• 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 "-" terminal of the welder
and work cable to the "+" terminal of the welder.
• Connect the Control Cable of the Spool Gun to the
Adapter Module and connect the Control Cable of
the Adapter Module to the Welder.
• Connect the Gas Hose.
• Set the MODE switch to the "CV-WIRE " position.
• Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to "WELD TER-
MINALS ON".
• Set the "ARC CONTROL" knob to "0" initially and
adjust to suit.
• Set the “IDLE” switch to the “HIGH” position.
See Section C for additional Connection Diagrams.
Connection of the LN-25 to the VANTAGE® 400
Shut off welder before making any electrical con-
nections.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The LN-25 with or without an internal contactor may be
used with the VANTAGE® 400. See the appropriate
connection diagram in Section F.
NOTE: The LN-25 (K431) Remote Control Module and
(K432) Remote Cable are not recommended for use
with the VANTAGE® 400.
1. Shut the welder off.
2. For electrode Positive, connect the electrode cable
from the LN-25 to the "+" terminal of the welder
and work cable to the "-" terminal of the welder. For
electrode Negative, connect the electrode cable
from the LN-25 to the "-" terminal of the welder and
work cable to the "+" terminal of the welder.
3. Attach the single lead from the front of the LN-25
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.
4. Set the MODE switch to the "CV-WIRE " position.
5. Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to "WELD
TERMINALS ON"
6. Set the "ARC CONTROL" knob to "0" initially and
adjust to suit.
7. Set the "IDLE" switch to the "AUTO" position.
When not welding, the VANTAGE® 400 engine will
be at the low idle speed. If you are using an LN-25
with an internal contactor, the electrode is not ener-
gized until the gun trigger is closed.
8. 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.
If you are using an LN-25 without an internal con-
tactor, the electrode will be energized when the
VANTAGE® 400 is started.
