4.ARC CONTROL- The ARC CONTROL dial is active in the
DOWNHILL PIPE mode: In this mode, the ARC CONTROL dial sets the short circuit current
5. WELD OUTPUT TERMINALS WITH FLANGE NUT-
work cables.
6.GROUND STUD- Provides a connection point for connecting the machine case to earth ground.

9.WELD TERMINALS CONTROL SWITCH- In the WELD TERMINALS ON position, the output is electrically hot all the time. In the REMOTELY CONTROLLED position, the output is controlled by a wire feeder or amptrol device, and is electrically off until a remote switch is depressed.
10.WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER SWITCH:
Matches the polarity of the wire feeder voltmeter to the polarity of the electrode.
11. VRD (Voltage Reduction Device) INDICATOR LIGHTS- On the front panel of the VANTAGE 400 (CE) are two indicator lights. A red light when lit indicates OCV(Open Circuit Voltage) is equal to or greater than
(32V), (30V ) and a green light when lit indicates OCV(Open Circuit Voltage) is less than (32V), (30V ).
The VRD “On/Off” switch inside the control panel must be “On” for the VRD function to be active and the lights to be enabled. When the machine is first started with VRD enabled, both lights will illuminate for 5 seconds.
These lights monitor the OCV(Open Circuit Voltage) and weld voltage at all times. In the
reduced the OCV to less than (32V), (30V ). During weld- ing the red light will illuminate whenever the arc voltage is
equal to or greater than (32V), (30V ). This means that the red and green light may alternate depending on the weld voltage. This is normal operation.
If the red light remains illuminated when not welding in the
If the VRD is turned “On” and the lights don’t come “On”, refer to the trouble shooting section.
