CONNECTION OF THE LN-25 TO THE VANTAGE

The LN-25 with or without an internal contactor may be used with
the Vantage. See the appropriate connection diagram in the
DIAGRAMS section.

NOTE: The LN-25 (K431) Remote Control Module and (K432)
Remote Cable are not recommended for use with the Vantage.

• Shut the welder off.

• 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.

• 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 sense lead to
supply current to the wire feeder motor; it does not carry welding
current.

• Set the SELECTOR switch to the “CV-WIRE” position.

Set the “WELDING TERMINALS” switch to “WELD
TERMINALS ON”

• Adjust the “ARC CONTROL” knob to desired crispness.

Generally, welding is best if the “ARC CONTROL” is set to
SOFT for MIG and CRISP for INNERSHIELD. You may
however, want to start in the middle and adjust (as needed)
from there.

• Set the “IDLE” switch to the “AUTO” position. When not welding,

the Vantage engine will be at the low idle speed. If you are using
an LN-25 with an internal contactor, the electrode is not
energized until the gun trigger is closed.

If you are using an LN-25 without an internal contactor, the
electrode will be energized when the Vantage is started.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• When the gun trigger is closed, the current sensing circuit will

cause the wire to begin to feed and the welding process is
started.

CONNECTION OF AN NA-3 AUTOMATIC
WELDING SYSTEM TO THE VANTAGE

For connection diagrams and instructions for connecting an NA-3
Welding System to the Vantage, refer to the NA-3 Welding
System instruction manual. The connection diagram for the LN-8
can be used for connecting the NA-3.

• Set the Wire Feeder Voltage Switch to 115V.

CONNECTION OF PRINCE XL SPOOL GUN TO
THE VANTAGE

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 TERMINALS

ON".

• Set the "ARC CONTROL" knob to "0" initially and adjust to suit.

• Set the "IDLE" switch to the "High" position
