WIRE WELDING-CV

Connect a wire feeder to the AIR VANTAGE® 500 CUMMINS according to the instructions in INSTALLA- TION INSTRUCTIONS Section.

The AIR VANTAGE® 500 CUMMINS in the ”CV- WIRE” position, permits it to be used with a broad range of flux cored wire (Innershield and Outershield) electrodes and solid wires for MIG welding (gas metal arc welding). Welding can be finely tuned using the “ARC CONTROL”. Turning the ARC CONTROL clock- wise from -10(soft) to +10(crisp) changes the arc from soft and washed-in to crisp and narrow. It acts as an inductance/pinch control.

The proper setting depends on the procedure and operator preference. Start with the knob set at 0.

For any electrodes, including the above recommenda- tions, the procedures should be kept within the rating of the machine. For additional electrode information, See www.lincolnelectric.com or the appropriate Lincoln publication.

ARC GOUGING

For optimal performance when arc gouging, set the AIR VANTAGE® 500 CUMMINS “WELD MODE” switch to the “CC - STICK” position, and the “ARC CONTROL” to 10.

Set the “OUTPUT” knob to adjust output current to the desired level for the gouging electrode being used according to the ratings in the following Table B.2.
