CONNECTION OF LINCOLN ELECTRIC WIRE FEEDERS

CAUTION

Shut off welder before making any electrical connections.

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

CONNECTION OF LN-7, LN-8 OR LN-742 TO THE VANTAGE

•Shut the welder off.

•Connect the LN-7, LN-8 OR LN-742 per instructions on the appropriate connection diagram in the DIAGRAMS section.

•Set the “WIRE FEEDER VOLTAGE” switch to 115V.

•Set the “WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER” switch to either “+” or “- ” as required by the electrode being used.

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

•Adjust the “ARC CONTROL” knob to desired Crispness. SOFT for MIG and CRISP for INNERSHIELD.

•Set the “WELDING TERMINALS” switch to the “REMOTELY CONTROLLED” position.

•Set the “IDLE” switch to the “HIGH” position.

CONNECTION OF LN-15 TO THE VANTAGE

These connections instructions apply to both the LN-15 Across- The-Arc and Control Cable models. The LN-15 has 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 "-" terminal of the welder. For electrode Negative, connect the electrode cable "-" terminal of the welder and work cable to the "+" terminal of the welder.

•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.

•Control Cable Model:

Connect Control Cable between Engine Welder and Feeder.

Set the MODE switch to the "CV-WIRE " position.

Set the WIRE FEEDER VOLTAGE switch to 42 volts.

•Across-The-Arc Model:

Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to "WELD TERMINALS ON"

• Control Cable Model:

Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to "REMOTELY CONTROLLED".

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 "High" position.

CONNECTION OF AN LN-23P WIRE FEEDER TO THE VANTAGE

•Shut the welder off.

•Connect the LN-23P per instructions on the appropriate connection diagram in the DIAGRAMS section. (NOTE): When connecting an LN-23P to the Vantage 575, a K350-1 adapter kit must be used.

•Set the Wire Feeder Voltage Switch to 115V.

•Set the “WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER” switch to “-”.

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

•Set the “WELDING TERMINALS” switch to “REMOTELY CONTROLLED”.

•Set the ARC CONTROL to “0” initially and adjust to suit.

•Set the “IDLE” switch to the “AUTO” position. When not welding, the Vantage 575 engine will be at the low idle speed. If you are using an LN-23P with the K350-1 adapter kit, the electrode is not energized until the gun trigger is closed. When the gun trigger is closed, the current sensing circuit will cause the Vantage 575 engine to go to high idle speed, the wire will begin to feed and the welding process can be started. When welding is stopped, the engine will revert to low idle speed after approximately 12 seconds unless welding is resumed.
