CONNECTION OF LINCOLN ELECTRIC
WIRE FEEDERS
Shut off welder before making any electrical con-
nections.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONNECTION OF LN-7, LN-8 OR LN-742
TO THE VANTAGE 500 CUMMINS
• Shut the welder off.
• Connect the LN-7, LN-8 OR LN-742 per instructions
on the appropriate connection diagram in the DIA-
GRAMS section.
• Set the “WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER” switch to
either “+” or “-” as required by the electrode being
used.
• Set the “SELECTOR” switch to the “CV-WIRE” posi-
tion.
• 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 VAN-
TAGE 500 CUMMINS
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 cur-
rent.
• Control Cable Model:
Connect Control Cable between Engine Welder
and Feeder.
Set the MODE switch to the "CV-WIRE " position.
• Across The-Arc Model:
Set the "WELD TERMINALS" switch to "WELD
TERMINALS ON"
Set the "WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER" switch to
either "+" or "-" as required by the electrode polar-
ity being used.
Set the "ARC CONTROL" knob to "0" initially and
adjust to suit.
Set the "IDLE" switch to the "AUTO IDLE" posi-
tion.
• 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 polar-
ity being used.
Set the "ARC CONTROL" knob to "0" initially and
adjust to suit.
Set the "IDLE" switch to the "AUTO IDLE" posi-
tion.
